this article is less about california law than it is about american airlines obligations to employees when closing a crew base and job security and transfers that result from same. If these flight attendents are really that senior, then they could bump other folks in other hub cities, especially LA .

i am a emphatic critic of the boeing company and the clowns on the board and the executive clown cars as well. However, this present pause in testing due to engine questions is of no long term concern . This is testing. This happens in extending testing regimes. This will be fixed and on to the next objective. I want to see the 777X certified, i want to see domestic airlines gobble up hundreds of these sweet planes, and i want to see the freighter version sold by the hundreds too.

if you can't afford to fly southwest, american, united or delta or jet blue, and you still fly any lcc or ulcc, then you must now consider yourself a machocist , sentenced to cabin arrest, bread and water levels of "service" Have been a paying airline passenger forover fifty years, can still recall the good old days of humane travel, and find myself disgusted with the plebian levels passengers willingly endure. I am hopeful Breeze will soon use my midwest hometown for building their business, and just have seen JetBlue add JFK turnarounds lately. Hope may be on the way...

Sukhoi needed to improvise a bit with the lack of supply of new engines. So, used engines will be fitted . As long as the engines are up to specs, i fail to see any problems with the substitutions.

the morons pushing single pilot in airliners, hoping that automation can make it possible, perhaps safe, are merely repeating stupid premises over and over. Who are these people? certainly not pilots or passenger associations, or anyone acquainted with aviation system failures, or a single command pilot needing to use the restroom, or if and when the next pilot becomes incappacitated , unable to safely fly . No, those folks chirping for solitary piloting must not fly often, for they would have to consider the problem if the one and only pilot fails to fly safely, and what that must mean for all the people on board. unnecessary degredation and compromise on flight safety.

short sighted siliness maskcarading as fiscal sensibility. It is a dangerous supposition that says one pilot is always going to be a safe operation. The world of aviation does not exist to make accountants happy, and the FAA would be remiss to support this crazy innovation.

i am stunned Boeing wiggled out of immediate settlements and judicial proceedings. They did build unsafe airliners that killed 360 people .

there must be some skullduggery in these events, as the connections between Qatar and the world cup make as much sense as Qatar and the America's Cup Yacht races.
