@AirlineFlyer This seems to have been the (non-public) goal since Munoz took over.

The Polaris launch set a course for the brand and everything that has followed marches down the same path.

If your beliefs are correct, you shouldn't have to post fake news. There should be enough real news supporting them.

So if you post fake news, it means there's insufficient evidence supporting your beliefs.

@maxcan @levie Yes, completely agree.

A response to someone else’s comment was this chart for city streets but I don’t know if it’s accurate:

My favorite speech about America was Reagan's last speech as president. He talks about what makes America great - immigrants.

I tear up watching it, especially the last bit.

highly recommend spending 4 mins to watch

Happy Independence Day!

May we through earnestness, skilled statesmanship, and a relentless focus on economic productivity renew our nation and produce another American century.

@SawyerMerritt What is the product margin on each?

@MrReginaldC @realEstateTrent And, yet, United is the airline under review by the FAA…

Dehumanizing people is the same tactic used by Nazis against Jews ("rats"); Americans against Native Americans ("savages") and Japanese ("vermin"); and Hutu against Tutsi ("cockroaches"). Dehumanization means you can treat people like animals and, eventually, exterminate them...

@LibsSuckaBigOne I used to love New York, but now that I know they sell fruit on the street I’m never going back

@LibsSuckaBigOne The shorts are bad but the fruit stands are awesome

@fightwithmemes $154k / year is meant to cover real estate, consumables (materials), and a living wage for the teacher for 10 students?

Classrooms average 45 sq ft per student. Office space rents in the US average $36 / sq ft.

So - $16k / month in rent alone.

Seems like it'll work...

@kclepley Regardless of what policy, family ties/legacy, etc gets a pilot hired, there are formal training standards that deem a pilot qualified or not. That standard is the same for EVERYONE.

[Matt Sattler @MMSattler]

Absolutely.

Certifying authorities maintain consistent and rigorous standards for all transport pilots.

Becoming a pilot requires great determination. Pilots who overcome structural life barriers (race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc) possess exceptional grit.

[Kelly Lepley ✈🌍👩‍✈️✈️👩‍👧‍👧🇺🇦 @kclepley]

Some of the best pilots I've ever flown with are African American. Many of them overcame challenges greater than mine to prove their worth and earn their stripes.

@_ZachGriff @Delta It seems UA & AA haven’t struggled with the overcrowding as much as DL.

Curious if anyone knows why? Do they have more lounge space x customers?

It doesn’t seem to be fewer premium customers but maybe Amex Platinum just puts that much pressure on DL lounges…

What could go wrong?

[Eli Dourado @elidourado]
