Re: Doug Parker makes the day for a WN FA

One of the best stories I have ever read on A.net. Thank you for posting and sharing with us. Very interesting to think about senior leadership flying on a competing carrier. Add in the book Doug was reading and the raw emotion from the FA and you have quite the moment in time. Well done by all invo...

Re: FAA Makes Staffing Policy Changes After Vegas Controller Found Incapacitated

Re: FAA Makes Staffing Policy Changes After Vegas Controller Found Incapacitated

This isn’t looking good. Latest word is it is alcohol and drug related. I'm hearing she was drunk and had been on probation earlier in the year for a DUI. These are some explosive claims.

Re: Hawaiian Airlines Facing Increased Competition

Re: Hawaiian Airlines Facing Increased Competition

What about inter-island? Since Aloha shut down in 2008, HA has not had a mainline competitor for interisland routes. Southwest, with an all mainline fleet, can change this.
