More mid air Violence - this time allegedly caused by Hollywood movie star, Selma Blair and for the second time in ten years. This time it was Delta Airlines flight 938 from LAX to JFK. We report the mid-air violence to shine light that unruly passengers rarely face consequences. #airlines #delta #jfk @FlyingWithSara

JetBlue has one approval to buy 22 former Spirit Air slots at LaGuardia cementing their drive to take over the Marine Air Terminal A for $58.5 million. #LGA #jetblue #aviation

@AmericanAir @DaveMurcott American Air is the new Spirit

Hey United -sorry but this does not feel or look premium (United Club Chicago F gate). @united #airlines

@LiveandLetsFly American makes the low cost carriers look good

Another Violent Air Rage Incident❗️This time American Air flight 618 from Dallas to Newark was diverted to Baltimore. The alleged criminal, Layne Lundeen of Tucson, allegedly shouted racist remarks and assaulted others. We see this all too often because these criminals never actually spend any time in prison despite the so called penalties. They always plea down and continue as if nothing happened. This is the failure of the justice system. For once treat some who committed criminal assault as an actual criminal (if convicted). #tucson @FlyingWithSara @LongRealty #americanair #laynelundeen

Just when you thought that Spirit Air was gone, like an abandoned ghost town there are still reminders today. You wonder which airports still have the “Spirit” with them.

Boeing 737 Max 7 Certified ‼️ the 7 version has finally be approved which will be very important to carriers including Southwest with its existing orders. #boeing

Washington Dulles Airport Authority proposed major airport upgrade on the same scale as a LaGuardia. The current Dulles Dulles without doubt is not a pleasant airport to use. Maybe this will be the trick. #airports

[James @perksadvisor]

American Air ordered ground stop ‼️ Flights are grounded over IT issues which follows last weeks United IT issue which contributed to the EWR meltdown. What is going on? #AA #americanair

[James @perksadvisor]

Washington Dulles airport will embark on capital improvements with influence from the Trump administration. Today the plans are expected to be announced. Stay tuned. #iad #dulles #airports

@LiveandLetsFly Hard to believe AA could get much worse

[James @perksadvisor]

JetBlue announces “BlueFirst” on flights without Mint (lie flat seats). These recliner seats will have a 2 + 2 formation. BlueFirst will include lounge access and upgraded dining. Rollout will begin this year. #jetBlue #aviation

@JTGenter @MAS Sound like you were flying AA or maybe they were just trying to emulate it

[James @perksadvisor]

@garyleff If you have flown AA which operates like a low cost carrier with a high cost structure you will quickly understand the valuation. As an EP I stopped flying AA as there is nothing worthwhile at this airline.

Inexcusable behavior by a United agent threatening to “call ICE” on a passenger. United should not tolerate such unprofessional behavior and terminate this hire. #unitedairlines #lax

[Jonathan Choe @choeshow]

NEW: Can’t make this stuff up.
BLACK United Airlines worker accuses HISPANIC passenger of being racist after he called her “lazy.”
Then the HISPANIC passenger accuses the BLACK United Airlines worker of being racist because she threatened to call ICE.🤡🤣

EWR Meltdown ‼️United can you send me “I survived the July 18 EWR Meltdown” t-shirt? For all the hours I feel like I have earned it (as well as many UAL employees). One takeaway: human CSRs not only technology saved my day. #unitedairlines @united #ewr

[James @perksadvisor]

Update: whatever the nationwide issue was (or so we were told) has been resolved and the United reboot worked #unitedairlines
