@AINonline @FAANews What is the safety issue that this proposed rulemaking intends to fix? (There is none.)

The most excellent @AINonline team has an opening for an editorial staffer with a passion for aviation: https://t.co/Qd3MPE994D

@united I owe United Airlines a sincere apology for my reduced expectations during a recent delayed trip. I was more than pleasantly surprised to receive a check for reimbursement of my extra expenses during that trip. So thank you, and I’ll be back for more UAL flights.

Here is more detail about the sudden end of the SmartSky Networks airborne connectivity service. It seems to show that there weren't that many customers buying SmartSky systems, although no one knows (or will tell me) exactly how many were installed: https://t.co/gkkDP2gx14

This is an amazing story about the cause of a fatal V-22 Osprey crash by @theaircurrent Elan Head and team. Excellent research and incredible detail. Well done! https://t.co/fqtYUN9F1s

It's always sad to see a key competitor drop out, so long SmartSky, it was a massive effort by an amazing team: https://t.co/gkkDP2gx14

The signing of the General Aviation Revitalization Act in 1994 was the culmination of an incredibly complicated and lengthy legislative process that preserved a vital segment of America’s powerful aerospace industry. https://t.co/NLilyui8J3

@AINonline So what’s the rationale for this besides some vague concerns about security standards? I’d like to see the TSA’s risk assessment, if it even bothered to do one.

@ian_whelan9 @united Yet again illustrating how airlines are completely unable to handle disruptions

[Matt Thurber @mtain]

So sorry to highlight the ongoing problems @united but how is it possible that no one figured out that the two rear toilets won’t flush just as we were about to push back, and this airplane has been on the ground for at least 3 hours? Curious pax would love to know.
