Thanks to FlyerTalker flygirl94 for posting a link to this video on FlyerTalk. On one hand it’s absolutely hilarious, but at the same time it’s largely true and sad.
That being said, some of Steve’s points don’t add up. He complains about legroom at United, which is probably the one department United isn’t weak in. They have Economy [...]

The Flying Critic posted the following video which perfectly captures where the industry is headed (and arguably already is):

My friend David sent me a link to some travel photos, ranging from hilarious to breathtaking. Check them out and enjoy, they’re especially refreshing on a day like today, filled with bad airline news.

I’ve had quite the array of UA employees during this mileage run, and had some interesting quotes, from funny to sad. Here are just a few (some are paraphrased):
A person with my seniority at American or Continental would make $11 per flight hour more. I know that for a fact, I saw the contract with my own [...]

I saw this rant when it originally aired a while back, but forgot to make a mention of it. The Middle Seat Terminal posted about it yesterday, along with the video.

I saw this story on the news a few minutes ago, and this was the only source I could find. Now this [...]

I heard this funny remake on The Travel Commons podcast a few days ago, and thought some might get a kick out of it. It’s a remake of “Leaving on a Jet Plane” involving the flying experience nowadays (especially TSA experience). The Bar and Grille Singers, a group of practicing attorneys, perform this. Enjoy!

After a friend linked me to the video below I’ve spent about an hour watching the various “wars” they’ve waged. Not sure whether I should laugh or cry when watching this stuff, so you decide. Here’s one of the many hilarious videos, which seems relevant in today’s security conscious world:
