outsourcing the catering is not a new idea..other carriers have done that for quite some time...airline snacks and food have been getting worse anyway these last few years,and the pandemic just led to not serving anything..american used to have in flight fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.aontinental,when it existed,used to have a cart with freshly made to order ice cream sundaes in first class..ther walos was a time when sncka baksetes with chips and hakf a sandich and an apple were served in a basket to coach on mot airlines..a long time ago!!

bob..in essence you are correct..the person or persons who wrote the article probably should have said as a header," Ual passengers on sfo departing flight forced to deplane due to security issue"..that would have been just a "hair" shorter and still have gotten the readers attention...

i have not heard any good things about jet blue,nor spirit airlines for that matter..those came into being because of passengers wanting cheaper fares..however,they have not managed to maintain a great reputation for customer service..americah has struggled to keep its reputation and build it up since the merger,so im not sure an agreement with jet blue is so great,especially in todays environment where everyone is already tense and expecting to be treated extremely" one on one"well by airlijne employees!

bentwing..respectfuly sir...i m not sure what the point is you are making,other than to show your political leanings! i met a gentleman a few years afterward, who lost both his wife and two young daughters on that flight..he was not open to discuss the incident as you can imagine,but he had already been interviewed excessively regarding his loss and what he thought..you are free to think whatever you like,whether you believer the "missle theory", or the one put out by the investigators regarding the fuel tank explosion,and although the "total reconstruction of the aircraft from pieces is to be destroyed,rest assured there will be pieces kept intact for further study and historical purposes..

from reading the stoy,it seems as though the man,a delta employee,was working on this idea on company time and did openly and willingly share the idea with delta,his employer..there are clauses in employee related paperwork that you sign for any position, that deal not only with percs and healthcare, but with ideas and what you can or cannot do..i think huis suit will be heard and dismissed..

mr branson is a billionaire,yes..he is also charismatic,a giving person who actually does contribute his time,money and resources to causes other than himself,and were i to have a "favorite" billionaire,(i personally dont know any)he would be the one..give the man his due..of course he had a great time and of course he deserved the first ride..the company he founded,virgin,has worked on this project for years..no..he did not go "into space" as have the nasa astronauts,but he came very close!!

the "polaris lounges" in the airports seem to be vey luxuroius..the inside of the aircraft "polaris first" class" cabin however,at least to me,seems less "relaxing,and more like a "mini office".i am guessing that is the plan..i suppose companies wishing to lure their employees back might offer this as an amenity..

the videos of the actual aircraft leaving the "mother ship" were fantastic..mr branson is very wealthy,yes,but he also gives a lot and works for causes other than his own self aggrandizement and monetary gain..this is only the beginning,and if i had to say i have a "favorite" billioniare (i do not know any!)i would say its mr branson as despite his wealth,he does have some humility and seems like a truly "nice" guy!
