you would think such simple advice as "please be nice" would be a "no brainer"..however..people are people and there are always persons in every situation,whether its waiting in line at the airport,drivng on the freeway,or any place where ther are lots of other folks,who will have no patience with others,no regard for what is happening,and just plain no courtesy, with a me first attitude..

this is funny and we all need a good laugh!i do recall being served at times sonmething we jokingly used to call "mystery meat" on some flights!the very best in flight food i was ever served was on the "old" continental dc-10,(first calss)where they actually carved prime rib from a cart to your liking,and also made a desert from a cart to your liking with toppings..oh for "the good old days"!!

Many years ago there was an incident of a passenger being literally sucked out of the window on an aircraft..i believe it was a dc10 operated by then NW airlines..

READ THE ARTICLE..THIS IS NOT AN EXPANSION OF ORD-IAH,AS UAL AND SOME OTHER CARRIERS ALREADY HAVE SERVICE BACK AND FORTH IN THAT MARKET..ITS AN ANNOUNCMENT OF A NEW FLEET OF AIRCRAFT ,WHICH IN MARCH WILL INCLUDE THIS ROUTE..THEY DO NEED AN UPGRADE IN AIRCRAFT,SO THIS IS A GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS MOVE TO ENCOURAGE TRAVELLERS ..

respectfully sir..even law enforcement disagree with this idea..the old "shootout at the ok corral" just doesnt work, and real life is not like the tv shows or movies where a person just happens to pull out a weapon and not get shot themselves...

"misbehaving" as the article says,is a far cry from pulling a gun on a fellow employee,particularly in the cockpit..it does not mention covid specifically,only that the armed do pilot disagreed with diverting due to a medical issue..the way the article is worded,it could have been his own medical issue..also the flight deck pilots who are armed,do not carry a gun on their person..it is stowed for many reasons,and those individuals always identify themselves to the agents at the gate before they board,as well as any air marshalls that might be on the aircraft..this co pilot obviously had a "little voice" in his head tell him huhis actions were warranted..!

MOST( and i say most for a reason)women who are pregnant get their ob/gyns ok BEFORE GETTING ON AN AIRPLANE..women going into labor on a flight is not an uncommon thing..there IS a point at which your doctor will say NO for lots of reasons..it is discrimination to as some here want to do to deny a flight to a woman who is pregnant..those making nasty remarks must be men!by the way, flight attendants are allowed to fly up to a certain point in their pregnancy also..

GOODNESS..the airline businses has been "fragile" for so many years with layoffs,lack of passengers,aircrfat issues and on and on..i hope they can make it..

interesting idea,but i do prefer having a pilot!years ago PAN AM had a helicopter pad on the top of their builidng and would fly people (paid for of course) from the airports to that locale to be in downtown new york..it didnt last long..houston had plasns that never came to fruition for a rail of sorts,to go just between hou and iah..that never happened either..bus service is limited,so its rent a car,have someone to drive you around or use the uber..
