Model Iren Ferrari is demanding €100,000 in restitution after the buffeting on a Moscow to Zurich flight left her key business assets bruised and painful, Pravda reports. Ferrari says she always flies business class, so that...

by Daddy Stork , full time pilot and part-time stay at home dad. In the cockpit, when an alarm sounds, the first response is to “Identify and Cancel” the warning. This is the call to acknowledge the source of the alarm, silence the warning and then determine a course of action. If there are several warnings, you prioritize them – often based on the color of the alarm. Yes, our planes are color coded. Cyan = Let’s hope it...
Virgin Bleeds As Qantas Holds Firm 31/05/2010 3:15:02 PM By Greg Peel I have never been a fan of longer term investment in airlines. Traders can find shorter term price fluctuations to exploit, but historically airlines are struggling businesses unless they can sufficiently lever off route protection. If the global economy is solid, holiday-makers and business executives take to the sky, bringing more planes out of hangers and even more airlines into being, thus increasing competition. Just look at...
As a Flight Attendant for one of the ‘biggies’, I’m often asked “what do you do on your layovers?” Well, not that often really. Maybe twice. And one of those times, it was a misunderstanding on my part. What he actually said was “lady, what you need is a makeover!” Anyway, on layovers and during my down time, I cannot be constantly chained to this laptop, creating, researching, cutting, copying, and pasting! I need to get out and enjoy...

By Meg Marco, The Consumerist An Olsen twin was flying from JFK to to Los Angeles when the United Airlines plane she was traveling in caught on fire and had to land in DC. EW says an electrical fire caused a crack in the planes windshield. The Washington Post says that the fire was small and there were no injuries, but that the runway was closed for about 40 minutes while the plane was inspected. No guitars were harmed.
By Harriet Baskas, special for USA TODAY A recent Scientific American story noted that, with the help of airlines, the 30 largest airports in the country create “enough waste to equal the trash produced by cities the size of Miami or Minneapolis.” That sounds pretty dire, but in the days before airports embraced the”‘reduce, reuse, recycle” mantra and before airlines adopted their current penny-pinching mode, it was worse. Today, it’s a much different story. Most airports at least have...
Architect Gary Chang is brilliant. We could all learn from his “transformer” design. Less really is more. New York Times previously reported, Mr. Chang hopes that some of his home’s innovations might be replicated to help improve domestic life in Hong Kong, which has been troubled in recent years. The population grew by nearly a half-million in just the last 10 years, and between 2003 and 2007, reports of new cases of child, spousal and elder abuse nearly doubled,...

After hello’s, hug’s, and Chips introduction to Mom and the ‘baby brother’, we were in Mom’s Dodge and on our way “home”. The airport parking attendant waived the $1 parking fee, a kind gesture on her part. Sure put a smile on tightwad Chips mug, since he offered to pay for any parking. Prior to landing, I told Chip Mom always arrives at the airport early, and waits patiently. The flight landed on schedule at 10 am. It was...

Easy Eddie was Capone’s lawyer and for a good reason. He was very good! In fact, his skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show...

Designer Isabel Mustache. Hmm, wonder what her inspiration was? Mens clothing designer Isabel Mustache wowed the crowd with her penis pants creation at the winter fashion show in Madrid. I think they’re terrific, and looked into suprising Chip with a pair. And then I had an even greater idea! Why not simply cut a hole from the front of an existing pair, and spray paint his twig and berries the same color as the material! I just saved us a bundle on that Isabel Mustache designer price tag, and he’ll so...
So far, the Miami weather has not been at all cooperative. It’s cloudy and raining this morning, so I’m posting the few pics from yesterday. Wanting to wiggle my toes in the sand, I dashed out to the beach as soon as we arrived from the airport.
What a day this has been! Worked the first leg, an early morning departure from San Francisco to Chicago. Once off the plane, I decided to grab a bite, and enjoy some peace and quiet (along with a cup of Starbucks) before the Omaha flight. Then it was off to the races! Well not really. It was only a short walk to gate C-27 for the Omaha departure. Okay, it wasn’t a walk at all since I was already at the gate. Got carried away. Hmmm, maybe I should have had the...
