Still true: the bow tie is conservatives’ eye-brow ring.

I was not prepared for how much I'm enjoying bootleg JetLag: The Game productions on youtube.

Turkish TK291 from IST to DFW had to divert to DUB today yet it's arriving at DFW with only a 4-5 hour delay;

Dunno how Turkish pulled that off but that's gotta be a great outcome for those passengers. (perhaps the main and relief crew's rest times could be tweaked to stay within limits)

I've always lamented AA's re-banking of DFW after the merger, longing for the days of the rolling hub (introduced ~2008?) which I remember as a much smoother operation. Is this new 13-bank schedule de-peaking DFW and admitting re-banking was unsuccessful?

What’s up with American’s 737-8 registrations - I just spotted N315UA and I gotta do a double take. They’re telling me there wasn’t another suffix more appropriate????

Do better AA: you’re embarrassing your hometown.

The second half presents a super-workable fix for most legacy parts of US/Canadian cities, especially the core(w/i Loop12) of Dallas. It'll never happen, but fun to think about youtu.be/ba2nA-NIWRA?...

A little disappointing that Cathay Pacific CX876 arrived on 13R, but at least the skies cleared for a beautiful evening of plane spotting at DFW.

What's in the water in Dallas making American and Southwest both underperforming financially relative to their peers? DFW and DAL see flight volumes and airlines that I could only dream of 20 years ago, yet my two hometown airlines are punchlines.

What do y'all think the chances of DAL expanding?

Caught the United 737-900 at Love Field last night, dunno why it was here but too cool to see the Evo Blue livery at DAL - brought back memories of taking Continental Express from DAL.

Perhaps one day there will be meaningful scheduled service other than Southwest there (it's 96% today!)

@flightradar24.com I'm rather enjoying the new filtering system being standard across all platforms - now to remember how to multi-select!

Missing in the Korean Air new livery discourse is that Aeromexico’s new livery is fantastic!

I think airlines should get rid of in-seat video screens:

-the control box blocks legroom in the window seat
&
-Swissair 111 - airplanes need to keep hot wires to a minimum

In-seat power and Bring-Your-Own-Device is solid.

Place a moving map on the bulkhead like back in the day

Party over at Southwest Airlines, indeed.

Another great airline fucked by corporate raiders

Continental barely survived it, but TWA, Eastern and others were crushed by the ridiculous demands, antagonistic labor relations, and sell-asset myopia.

I’ll miss the un-Wall-Street-ized Southwest ❀️

Having only been an NBA fan since 2013, I really enjoyed this podcast trip down memory lane - it’s hard to just read the history with so many moving parts, and this episode provided a fun framework to understand different teams’ seasons

Such a gem the Ritsurin Gardens are, especially that awesome train line to get there from Takamatsu station. I had the pleasure of visiting Ritsurin during August's heat wave, and while it was gorgeous and awesomely hot, I'd wondered how pretty spring would be there
