Not so fast @Funkwrite, I have questions… what policies and procedures were in place to safeguard Felis catus, Lego passengers and responders, and property? Were those procedures followed? Was a safety management system in place and effectively carried out? What training was provided to the feline and their supervisor?

TBD… look forward to reviewing the findings, probable cause, and recommendations.

United even tells you how many people have boarded so far? Truly the GOAT of airline apps

@kpottermn Chickenhawk. Detailed description of Huey flying, so bonus points for aviation nerds.

This small collection is curated with love by a small group of people who care a lot about United (and Continental) history. It was a privilege to see their work today.

[Joshua Freed @AirFreed]

Our team visited the United archives today in Chicago. If you have a soft spot for aviation history like I do, it’s pretty amazing.

Bring back these uniforms please!

Why YES we would like to visit the back room

WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) - Major U.S. airlines spent just over $5 billion on jet fuel in March, up 56% and $1.8 billion over February costs, the U.S. Transportation Department said.

NK1833 from DTW to DFW has landed. The flight is expected to be the final arrival for Spirit Airlines and the end of operations for the 43-year old carrier. https://t.co/ZdIsOmwFc9

We’ve seen many airlines wind down over the years, but I don’t think we’ve ever watched one close up shop via flight trackers.

Delta teases new cabin interiors on Instagram, being unveiled April 13.

@xJonNYC has been sharing details and images for the last few weeks.

The dream was that somewhere in the world you could still buy a ticket on a DC-4 or something but there’s nothing quite that old in commercial passenger service anymore. At least I don’t have to go far out of my way to fly that 1991 United 767!

Fantastic look at some of the aviation history you can fly today, by @ByERussell

[Edward Russell @ByERussell]

The other week I found myself onboard a @united jet delivered during the George H. W. Bush administration, but I never would have guessed on sight alone.

Why your next flight may be on a very old plane and you probably won’t know.

For a while I was on a mission to fly the oldest airliners I could find in commercial service. Then Buffalo in Canada retired their DC-3 (had been top of my list). Mahan Air in Iran will have to wait …

[Joshua Freed @AirFreed]

When I was at AA we had ex-TWA and of course ex-America West flying around (not even that old, just cool to see bygone airlines represented.) The last Northwest/Delta DC-9 was ex-North Central Airlines.
