  1. WN/FAA – Big companies have been buying Washington for generations, so nothing new here.

  2. I love your cynicism on UA, free entertainment and a recession. 211 737s with direct tv, and if they had it their way it would be zero.

  3. Its good to see UA moving to free Live TV. Most of the time the card readers in the seat backs couldnt read your credit or debit card anyway.
