@nbcwashington thanks for showing the delayed fireworks show as part of the extended 11pm news.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@bariweiss Resign now. You are an embarrassment to journalism and integrity.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@nickbilton You and Bari Weiss are a joke. Scott Pelley was 100% right - neither of you are qualified or deserving to helm anything at CBS News. All the more reason to never trust or watch anything from CBS News ever again.

@LucasSa56947288 Absolutely.

@Rightanglenews This wasn’t an American flight. If you look at the beginning of the video, the familiar “Howdy” seen on Spirit’s airplanes is clearly visible.

I lost someone I felt was a long time friend recently. I haven’t been the same since and this old song from the 1992 Olympics reminds of how I felt about this person.

@PrinceGeorgesMD snow removal a joke in PG vs other counties in MD. Drove in AA County - it was a breeze. No issues. But in PG even major roads like 301, 202, 214, and 193 are a complete mess with lanes still missing. Shows why neighborhoods are ignored 5 days later-embarrassing.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@nbcwashington Not good. No plows in sight in PG County residential areas today and 8 feet of 8-10 inches of nice blocking half the houses.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@PrinceGeorgesMD how about plow all sides of the street. Some of us can’t get out with 8 feet of 8-10 inch thick ice blocking our driveways and plows go up the street with the plows raised so no progress is happening. Is this lousy service what my taxes pay for?

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@PrinceGeorgesMD Great advice except that those of us on the even side of the street can’t get out of our houses when the plows don’t plow the even side of the street and leave 8 feet of 10 inch thick ice and go up the street with the plows raised. Awful management of this removal.

American - you really need to mark your seat maps to denote window seats that don’t have windows. I’m paying premium for a window seat that has no windows and I’m not happy! @americanair

@DubrovnikAirpt The Niko check-in system used by your airport has to be the worst I’ve ever experienced in the hundreds of airports I’ve flown from all over the world. It makes travel stressful and difficult for passengers. Do better and get a better system.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

Up and ready to fly early today! @Fly_KansasCity #FlyKind

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@IshrionA I hope Spirit is getting revenue guarantees that actually cover costs, otherwise this kind of flying is a fast track back to Chapter 11, and maybe Chapter 7.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@southwestair incompetent operation at DCA tonight. Been waiting for a gate at DCA for over 30 minutes becuase one gate is broken. Push off a RON aircraft off of one of the other gates then. This isn’t rocket science.

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@southwestair I’ve said this before - why can’t you do an inflight beverage and snack service on any flights? I’ve been on 11 Southwest flights in the last month and 10 of them had no service due to “turbulence” even though the flights have had absolutely no turbulence?

[Mark Kopczak @SpiritedFlyer]

@IshrionA The problem is no one is driving across the border in either direction to fly on these flights. So Breeze wants to try and reduce its risk by concentrating passengers on fewer flights per week to more destinations, even with the revenue guarantee.
