if this has proven to work,that is great!

improper training or not truly knowledgeable of the aircraft and its functions? the article says the "technicians" were injured,so unless they were on a suicide mission, that will come into play..

well.the airlines could stop serving food and drink onboard (they almost have anyway),and put up a sign at the door to the jetway, (kind of like your mom used to remind you to do before a trip)saying did you go to the restroom before getting in line to board the airplane???please do...!

look up the information on the twa hotel being built and you will find the information on the whole project..interesting information..

I think its a wonderful idea, along with the hotel itself..a little history along with a modern twist..to be sure it will bring back memories to an older crowd, and be a "wow" to younger travellers...

I wonder what size person these designers are using for "tests" on the newer,smaller restrooms? in actuality, even the old ones cant be called "bathrooms" (no room to really bathe if you wanted to,even in the sinks), and "restroom" is not really true as there is no room to rest!they are beginning to look like the "porta potties"you have at outdoor festivals and the like!

sorry you were offended alek..no, I am not a bonehead (college educated)and I was not "scolding"..your comment to me was rude, but thats fine.. ijust have a lot of airline experience and know what i am talking about..making comments when you are not knowledgeable on a speciic subject is not a good thing to do..have a nice day sir,whatever your political affiliations might be ..and by the way,there is a difference between "chastising" as you call it, and expressing knowledge/opinion on a subject posted on this site..you know if you read flight aware there are quite a variety of subjects/articles posted upon which to comment,whether its regarding new aircraft,specific airlines or even customer service and/or new routes..you are free to do so, as am I..

others were leaving and this man felt the need to stay to help before he ran to some kind of safety himself..that is unselfish,although the jump he made from the tower,according to the article, is what cost him his life..earthhquakes are scary by themselves, but compounded with a tsunami,what would anyone do...

alek..????the main concern of any captain or dispatcher when there is a weather event,is the safety of the passengers and crew..aircraft are diverted if they are in the air,and there are severe storms at or around a destination, for very good reason..its not an arbitrary thing..those same flights,if possible, do continue to the designated destination if the weather improves enough to do so,and the slots are still available,as well as the crew duty time..its not a matter of "not caring", by the airline..you are misunderstanding diversions,delays and cancellations of flights..this article is with reference to a diversion and a caring crew member..it has nothing whatsoever to do with airline competition,and the airlines you mentioned who have merged into other carriers..

BEN..the article was basically complaining about unsupervised children in premium lounges,left to run around , and do basically what small (and sometimes older)children do when not told to sit,or read,or be respectful of others..even in churches there are generally day care spots with supervision for small children,or bible study /reading groups for older ones who might not appreciate a sermon!the age limit for a "lap child" with no confirmed seat,is up to 2 years of age..having worked literally thousands of flights through the years,i can attest to the fact that the majority of f/c passengers do not bring a lap child along,and those with a family generally prefer coach and pre reserved seating together,or bulk head seats..i understand your viewpoint,however..i might add that small children are not allowed to run around or up and down aisles,in first or coach, while onboard an airplane,and infants stay with their mothers..toddler aged children and those old enough to be told sit down an
