RE: DEL-FRA-ATL On J Class With Lufthansa

I assume they provide socks in the amenity kit? Why not put the socks on? It goes up my rear when I see bare feet in a cabin. Especially on a brand new 8i.

SFO Departures And Engine Throttle Backs

Whenever I take off from SFO the engine seems like it's cut to idle at roughly 3,000ft. Is this a departure requirement ...not sure why since we are over water? Or do I have bad luck,and it's TCAS alerts?

Thx

Waiting For EK/QR Announcement To PHL

It's got to happen and soon. With the 787 out and the 350 on it's tails, I would think Philly could draw an Emirates or Qatar and get Mayor Nutter to spear head this. I see a ton of India/Mid East traffic flow on the <acronym title="Newark - Liberty International (EWR / KEWR), USA - New Jersey">EWR<...

RE: Huge Difference Between CO And UA Service, Why?

As a 1K mileage run whore, I can say, from my own experience, CAL crews are far better.
