I think this is a poor PR move on Southwest’s part as infection rates are spiking across the country. I’m sure the middle seat being vacant or occupied is low on every traveler’s list of concerns, but having this headline out there right now brings unnecessary negative attention to the airline.

Delta found a loophole that should have been identified before the tariffs were enacted. This is no different than someone exploiting tax code loopholes, CARES Act loopholes (as we saw with the recent Atlas story), etc. The government knows everyone will look for loopholes so it's on them for not being more vigilant and ensuring the tariffs were airtight.

Will masks prevent you from inhaling SARS-COV-2 droplets? No. Will masks limit the distance SARS-COV-2 droplets travel out of the mouth and nose of an infected person? Yes. Masks are meant to protect the wearer. They're meant to protect the people around the wearer.

Can we file this one under too little too late?

They're parking aircraft at PIT. Once a US Airways hub we have a ton of space available to be used as parking pads. https://blueskypit.com/2020/03/16/grounded-aircraft-find-a-place-to-park-at-pit/

Did you read the article or just the headline? This isn't just about going as fast as possible. The training is teaching them that taking the time to observe your process and adjust your planning has a downstream impact of faster service. Pit crews are fast, but their main focuses are safety and efficiency and that is what they are teaching United. "'I love how they set us up with a couple of unexpected surprises, like when our equipment wasn't in the right position -- that's what happens to us all the time,' Papineau said. 'I'm excited to get home and talk about it.' Smooth operation and teamwork were key takeaways for Papineau. 'They said, 'slow is fast,' and that makes sense to me,' she said. 'You just have to be set up and organized and prepared and then you do what you know how to do. And you're always looking out for each other.'"

This is pretty comical. How many passengers have complained across the industry in the last 5 years alone? How many news reports and studies and industry expert opinions have been published highlighting this problem? The real question is how much longer will the flying public tolerate empty lip service from CEOs out to make as much money off of them before real change occurs?

The International Council of Air Shows is next month. Most teams release their schedules there. I'd expect to see an initial list during or shortly after ICAS.

Isn't this the same agency that basically says, "Without us you're all going to die from a terrorist hijacking!!!1! Terrorists are everywhere and can use almost anything to get a weapon on a plane. Therefore we need to look through your clothes and grab your junk...you know, for safety!"? When then would they ever (publicly admit they'd even) consider letting anyone fly anywhere without screening? Last I checked a regional/feeder jet flying into a building has a pretty significant impact too. Sure, it's not going to do as much damage as a 7X7 or 3X0 but it's still going to leave a mark and instill fear (the real motivator). And lets not even start on the "coordinated attack" idea...3, 4, 5 flights from the same (or nearby) small/medium airport that did away with screening all being hijacked at the same time. See, I don't work for the TSA and I can already come up with some plausible scenarios that make this seem like the worst idea ever. Remember when Pittsburgh recently starte
