How like the New York Times it is to hide such a great story behind a pay wall. Shameful.

I will always fly Southwest whenever I have the option. I worked with two Southwest Flight Attendants who took their earned vacation time to go to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria where they volunteered for 10 long days of seriously demanding and physically exhausting disaster relief work for no pay (and no media). Those are the kind of people who get my attention and earn my loyalty. Sure, I get emails I don't like and never asked for, but I've learned how to deal with it. This "journalist" needs to get over himself. By the way, I think Flight Aware should be above this drivel.

A new work in my vocabulary: "Dipshidiot". Thanks!

I suspect you have an ancestor who was somewhere around when the Wright Brothers were building bicycles.

You lost me at, "According to CNBC ..."

The Captain was heard to say, "Sorry."

Completely inadvertent flight. The guy pressed “Start” and the next thing he knew he was on final al LAX (though apparently left of glide slope and out of sequence). Hey, stuff happens.

Try that bit of logic when they call you to the tower for a “briefing”.

I have a FlightAware ADSB receiver at my house in Central Florida. The range of my antenna setup is a radius of about 230nm. My usual 24hour tally of flights is between 3,800 to 4,200. On March 13, I tracked more than 4,000 flights. On April 1 the count was Less than 1,800. By the way, Sun’N Fun 2020 has been cancelled, so my April total will be far below the usual.

It’s both, actually.
