I have specific interests in supersonic passenger transport, commercial aviation from 1960-2000, and airport parking garages.

Laptops. Phones. Headphones. Power banks.
They all use lithium-ion batteries—and they’re in your bag when you fly. But do you know where to pack them and what to do if one overheats or smokes in the air? FAA fire safety expert Dr. Robert Ochs breaks it down so you can #PackSafe and take the right action if an incident occurs. Learn how the FAA is taking action: https://t.co/njsa07LEv0

@AmericanAir AA1115 departed late, and was sweltering hot. AC only ran for about 10 mins on landing. Typical nonsense. At least there were no exposed electrical wires on this plane, unlike my last flight with American.

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

Now @AmericanAir is saying the gate agents won’t even give us further information. “Just look at your phone.”

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@traveloneworld @AmericanAir planes are poorly maintained. Anecdotal, but it seems to be a cascade, if true.

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@AmericanAir the saga of AA1724 continues. Gate agent initially said he could rebook onto a 2:30 flight. 5 minutes later that’s not true. Next flight “6:30” so probably more like 8, given the way this works, which would get me into Buffalo at 11 or midnight.

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@AmericanAir Same percentage delays at DFW as Spirit today. Wow.

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@AmericanAir has used maintenance as the excuse to delay two consecutive flights out of A37 at DFW (their hub.) Does there maintenance org do subpar work, or does corporate instruct gate agents to lie to passengers because people won’t complain about maintenance?

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@AmericanAir @americanair hires okies to do their maintenance. (And to hear them tell it, their fleet is falling apart!) Gate agent is now spinning a yarn about “no air conditioning. Funny… none of the deplaning passengers were perspiring at all.

[James Perl @Speedbird_Super]

@AmericanAir Been delayed over an hour. Also:

Flight attendant Sam on BA176 is the best. She’s a consummate professional, and goes the extra mile for great service and comfort. @British_Airways
