I swear, this is it.  My last post on it:  This is the full lowdown on the Ralph Fiennes sex with flight attendant extravaganza.  The linked article has all you need to know, including their plan for covering up their escapade.  Also know that the flight attendant said "she knew she’d get the sack."  Long [...]

Not a good week for airline CEOs…
US Airways CEO Doug Parker pleaded guilty to a DUI charge and will spend a day in jail (as well as paying a fine) as part of his sentence.  No one was hurt when he was arrested last month — his third DUI offense (the others were nearly 20 [...]

JetBlue announced the full details of its delay reimbursement program (DRP, though I just made that up), offering passengers payments that vary from $25 flight vouchers to free round trips based on the length of the delay you face and whether you’re already on a plane or not.  Most of the payments only kick in [...]

Assuming they don’t cancel the flight you’re on, MAXjet’s $998 round trip offer between either New York or Las Vegas and London is a great deal — the Vegas offer is an amazing price.  Book by March 5, fly by September 15th.  Seeing as summer fares in coach to London can hit $800 round trip, [...]

JetBlue’s nightmare week is continuing, as the airline has announced it will cancel 25% of its Monday flights, 5 days after an East Coast storm wiped out its operations.  JetBlue has cancelled about 1,000 flights in 5 days, and has seen 7 years of goodwill flushed down the 2 lavatories located in coach.  Police were [...]

A very special thank you to frequent reader/contributor IAHPHX for letting me (and now, you) know that the Qantas flight attendant who had denied having mid-flight sex with Ralph Fiennes has now changed her story and is says that she propositioned him.  You’ll also be interested to hear (yeah, right) that she spent the next [...]

Just a quick follow-up to the JetBlue JFK snowstorm disaster:
Turns out JetBlue waited 5 hours to call airport authorities for help offloading passengers.  Oops. 
And my father brought up a good point:  Will 1 snowstorm undo 7 years of goodwill and great stories about the airline?  Did Wednesday mark the day that JetBlue became just [...]

An Air Mauritania 737 was hijacked yesterday, with the hijacker demanding to be flown to France.  Instead, the plane made a stop in the Western Sahara, then continued on to the Canary Islands.  Upon landing in the Canaries, the pilot landed hard, knocking the hijacker off his feet, allowing passengers to overpower him.  The hijacking [...]

A squirrel running around in the wiring above the cockpit of an American Airlines 777 forced the flight from Tokyo to Dallas to divert to Honolulu.  A spokesman for the airline said, "You do not want a varmint up in the wiring areas and what-have-you on an airplane."  Apparently Jeff Foxworthy is their spokesperson.

Pakistan’s supreme court is asking Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to explain its policy of firing its flight attendants at age 45 because of "dull and poor appearance."  A number of flight attendants have sued the airline, noting that they were fired because they were told they had "dull and poor appearance, scars on face, gap [...]
