Short Takes - The Airline Follies

Filed under: News, Passengers, Southwest — Rick Seaney @ 11:21 am

A quick recap of news and tidbits:

FAA/Airline Congressional Hearings: Southwest denies it got too “cozy” with the FAA, claiming it was not a “kissy-kissy” relationship.

FAA/Airline Redux: One of the U.S. presidential contenders released a statement calling the FAA’s approach to policing the airlines “troubling”. I’m not going to name names, but I will go out on a limb here and guess the others are probably on the same page here.

Heathrow Chaos, Supermodel Edition: Coming up next!

Heathrow Chaos, Supermodel Edition: The new terminal at Heathrow lost a couple of bags during its maiden outing (well, several thousand); if model Naomi Campbell had only read my post on this, she might not have (allegedly) lost her temper and gotten herself arrested.

Heathrow Chaos, “Captain Obvious” Edition: An article in the Guardian asks, “How can you ensure an airline doesn’t lose your luggage?” Answer: use carry-on bags only.

Hmmm. Where have I heard that one before?
