But trains can easily pull into a station for a crew change, and I assume commuter trains aren't continuously running routes that are long enough to where this could be an issue. A plane can't just pull over at the nearest cloud for crew break. What do you do for a flight going from SFO to Hawaii o...

Jump to postI wonder which brand will survive? I’m leaning towards Spirit as they’ve had such a large international footprint for years, plus in major U.S markets, I’d say that more people know the name Spirit than Frontier (unless you live in Denver) due to overall frequency of flights. But of course I could ...

Jump to postI mean, a lot of airlines have suspended all on-board liquor sales which makes them tons of money. That's a big step, I think. First, the airlines should offer at least 32 inches of leg room (like Southwest) so we are not crammed in like sardines. Second, there should be a universal dress code that...

Jump to postIt seems as though the 2 previous crashes have been forgotten here in the U.S. Of course they have, and there never was any significant concern that they wouldn't, else the airlines would've found a way to get out of those orders.

Jump to postIn principle, I don't disagree. But how do you administer this? The DHS No-Fly list is geared to terrorists, not drunk people on airplanes. Also, if one airline deems a passenger is worthy of a lifetime ban, will another airline recognize that? I hate bureaucracy, but if a coalition of airlines man...
Jump to postWhile this should have never happened airlines need to study what the underlying reasons are for incidents like this. They should do this so that they can take preventative measures so that situations like this don't happen as much, and passengers can have a much better experience.

I thought booze was mostly free in 1st/business class and in lounges. Don’t think airlines “make a lot of money”. The best way to put people to sleep without making a bunch of angry drunks is to run the cabin pressure up to reduce O2 and put people to nightly nite. Wouldn't that also make the crew ...

Jump to postEven if Boeing has a backlog of 737 orders I am sure many will get cancelled. Because of the pandemic the airlines financial situation has changed dramatically. Boeing is at it's best when they listen to the needs of their customers. Such as Southwest needing a new generation of 737? Very much so.
Jump to postAt the risk of being shouted down by The Vocal Few, this infrequent poster/frequent reader will offer an opinion on the 737 situation. In no particular order, here are a few bullet points. 1) Steven Udvar-Hazy is absolutely right, Boeing needs to get to work on a 737 replacement. As a matter of fac...
