I’m running out of free AI queries, but this is what “cranky flier brett snyder web” produces. This is all wrong… that is not a commercial plane in the background.

Could Newark’s trouble affect your summer travels? Here’s what to know | Cruising Altitude – USA Today
Newark is a mess, but should you stress? Not really. Or, maybe. I mean, just look at radar for the Northeast on the day you’re traveling. If it’s showing green, yellow, red, or purple, you’re screwed. But otherwise, all is well. Zach Wichter put together this comprehensive piece on the state of things at Newark, and I had thoughts.
This week on The Air Show, I took a break. Actually, I had a schedule conflict, so Brian and Jon did a good Ryanair episode without me. And despite what Brian says, I have no plans for an episode breaking down every one of Lufthansa Group’s 938 subsidiaries in painstaking detail.

That picture is…unnerving. Maybe not as unnerving as the spider, but it’s just not quite human. And that facial expression does not fit with the word “cranky” at all…I’d go with “excessively medicated.”
Your remarks on EWR make perfect sense, the traffic reduction seems to be doing what it’s supposed to do. It can’t help the overall Newark Airportishness problem that the airport has, but until people get behind my idea of the new New York Aerotropolis (formerly “Staten Island”) it can’t be helped. I’m supposed to go to the Northeast three or four times this summer, and in terms of the FAA I’m far more worried about Washington or Jacksonville Centers…
Oh, I should have been clear, I know it’s AI. It’s just bad AI. I’ve seen lots of AI pictures that don’t set off that “this is really disturbing” red alert in the back of your head.
