I can’t believe we are talking about this again.There are not enough allergists in North America to test 35 million people for their allergic ‘threshold’ for each food they are allergic to…especially when we know other factors can contribute to sensitivity.Threshold=May contain.
@TikiTales@SailTrilogy I can’t tell you how many times we have sailed with them. They are truly very special people! 😊 and…those cinnamon buns 😋
Do you know Sara Simonsen too?
.@CanadaSoccerEN should bring back the Hometown Heroes billboards but spread all of them all over Toronto as a re-introduction to the squad for locals, tourists and incoming spectators.

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

@NissanMotor@Nissan I would really like a Kicks…because it is the perfect size…but I want leather. Leather is easier to clean and does not hold onto the dust…making it more hygienic.
I would also like driver/passenger automatic seat adjustment.
Why is this so hard?
