Ever wonder why United is (finally) working hard to upgrade the 767 and 747 aircraft with the new premium cabin seats, but the 777 is left behind? It appears, that of all things, it’s a problem in coach that’s keeping them from getting it done. The fix is going to end up changing the coach configuration on the airplane, and while it will cost the airline a fair chunk of change, it won’t really benefit coach passengers much at all.

It’s not just your imagination: flight delays are getting longer. This week’s Middle Seat compiles a scorecard on airline performance in 2008. It was a trying year for travelers, and not just because of the battery of baggage fees and “a la carte” pricing changes. Here’s a summary from the operational front. The Good News There were slightly fewer delays, mostly a result of a significant drop in the number of flights congesting airports and airways.

Today's quote of the day is from this well-written review of a memoir about the author's mother dying: The literature on dying is rife with measured words, gallantry, sage advice. This is good. But we all harbor an inner 2-year-old: naturally stubborn and easily frightened, with no recourse in the face of unfathomable hurt but to stamp our feet and wail. Or just cry. The 2-year-old is within us all. ### I've stayed prolific on Twitter. Below are some other quotes I've posted there, and below arAdvertising in recessionary times
Flybe is Europe’s largest and most successful regional airline and the United Kingdom’s premier domestic airline - well that is what it said in its press release. In today’s Daily Telegraph, the main readership who are 50-plus, is a full page ad based on the premise: “don’t worry about losing your job keep on spending and enjoying your self.” And why not? I am not so sure if the mix of messages - redundancy and travel - are that appropriate, especially to an older audience, but I commend the mPlaying the "checking baggage" game
The airlines are hurting. Everyone is in this economy, but it's particularly evident in the airline industry. I took a round trip United flight, and I was simply stunned by the sheer amount of upsell they try to do during check-in. All checked bags are an additional fee now: $15 for the first, $25 for the second. And you have the option of upgrading to Economy Plus (i.e. the amount of leg room that all of our seats once had), and they even try to sell you more frequent flyer miles.

Though the simple fact of BHO's U.K. citizenship at birth must constitutionally preclude his presidency, Americans have a "need to know" where he was born. As you know, he refuses to show us real, legal evidence of this, so we are compelled to investigate whether BHO's claim of Hawaiian birth is fraudulent. One kind of investigation seeks hardcore facts. Another gathers intelligence, to provide clues, develop a set of instructive probabilities, and provide a governing narrative of events.

In fact, the level of radiation that crews are subjected to is in the top 5% of all radiation workers, and occasionally twice as high as a typical nuclear plant worker.
