Devil Wears Prada, Flies Business Choosy fliers choose widebodies! [Video below] I was the Purser between Miami and San Francisco and I was amazed at the number of passengers that commented how much they love the 767-300 on this route. All of the customers were great, although I was up to some of my old tricks as the plane climbed out of San Francisco on take-off. There was one particular gentleman staring my way everytime I glanced into the cabin. I was convinced he had me on a timer to see when his first cocktail came out. I must admit that I made a couple of not-so-nice comments about it in the galley. Wouldn t you know that he turned out to be fantastic. He was just watching what was going on; sort of like all of us that have an interest in air transportation. I said to myself, Gailen, straighten up your attitude! Some customers even said they would not have made the trip if the 757 was the only plane available. I have to wonder if widebodies put everone in a good mood. I walked off the flight with 9 AApplause Certificates (certificates to show appreciation for excellent service) presented to me by elite AAdvantage passengers on the flight! Maybe I ll win another 25,000 mile prize (two so far)! Unfortunately, you cannot give yourself AApplause certificates. Well, I love the 767-300, as a crewmember and as a passenger. Sometimes I feel like Sybil . Watch this video to see what I mean!

Aviation Daily reports that Row 44's satellite trial on Southwest Airlines bumped to mid-February: The industry publication says that Southwest will install Row 44's Ku-band satellite receiver on 3 Boeing 737s, and Alaska Airlines on 1 737. The trial was originally planned for launch by the end of January, but sources are saying that FAA approval is delaying launch. These tests were originally announced for the middle of 2008, and I was talking to Row 44 about their launch plans way back in summer 2006. As with Aircell, innumerable problems have likely cropped up. Aircell's launch was pushed back about a year, and about 30 aircraft currently appear to have Aircell Gogo service on board. That number should climb above 100 within a couple months, and if it does not, questions will be asked. Row 44 claims to have an affordable satellite solution that can deliver far higher data rates than the air-to-ground system Aircell is using. Further, Row 44 can serve over-water routes, which makes it quite appealing to Alaska, which flies a huge number of routes to its namesake state and to Mexico. The huge spike in oil was certainly a delaying factor as airlines weighed every possible contingency and every ounce they were carrying. The real issue for Row 44 is whether enough aircraft can be equipped, and whether their overhead structure for Ku-band transponder leasing and aircraft installation produces a real return. We'll see. Boeing tried it with far older, slower, and heavier gear; Row 44 has the 21st century advantage. [link via Joe Brancatelli] Copyright 2009 Glenn Fleishman. All rights reserved.

  Much of human history is concerned with the way that people get from one place to another. Our earliest ancestors traveled on foot, braving the elements, avoiding attack by wild animals and suffering really nasty blisters. Some forgotten genius came up with the idea of riding on animals and things improved. Somebody else (the Phoenicians, I think, but I sorta slept through history class) invented carts and things improved again. Carts gave way to trains and cars and trucks and things improved again. Then human beings invented air travel and things fell apart. Really. Airplane trips generally begin early in the morning with a drive to the airport through rush hour traffic. Sitting gridlocked on the freeway is actually a good thing because it gives you a chance to prepare for the lines you ll be waiting in the rest of the day. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Want to get the rest of this essay or others like it?
