If you are lucky enough, you can bump in to him as he is flying first class from ATL to TPA on his First Class tickets.

He seems really busy with his board member duties of a given airline that I have a lot of interest in.

Send your reps an email. This will be taken care of quickly.

Again, SWA is in the comparison, but Airtran is not.

There is an app for that!

I don't think even NewK could fly this high!!!!!
I would say. The IAS for 255 does not mesh with .76 mach at 51,000 feet

There's no chance that's not a photoshop, anyways. The airplane is actually holding speed....

That's my air conditioning pack in my hands. I use it when I cut the grass. Since what, it's 105 down here today?

This is how you fly an MD88. You look across the cockpit. That way you can see all six instruments at once.

This isn't the airline I signed up for
By Brett Snyder, Special to CNN
July 11, 2011 8:01 a.m. EDT
Passengers may buy tickets for one airline and end up on another because of airline codesharing agreements.

(CNN) -- When I worked at America West, we had a codesharing partnership with Continental. Friends would call me, confused.

"I bought a ticket on America West, but there's a Continental airplane here. What's going on?" This was common back then, but it has become a bigger issue with the growth of codesharing -- airlines selling flights operated by partners as their own.

While disclosure of the airline operating the flight is required by the government, it's still easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention.

In fact, if you book a ticket on one airline, say United, it's possible you'll never set foot on a United plane. Let's say you want to fly from Philadelphia to Krakow, Poland. You can book United flight 2216 connecting to United 9254 in Newark before finally getting on United 8756 in Munich. But you're never stepping foot on United.

This isn't the airline I signed up for - CNN.com
