Today is november 30th and the incident occurred on november 19th..the statement from the airline seems to indicate he either died at the scene or at the hospital shortly thereafter, as it says despite the work of paramedics and the hospital,he passed away..sympathy to his family and fellow employees of envoy..

cats are "sneaky" little creatures..by nature thay are quiet and elusive and can easily hide..i am glad they found the cat because they dont do well in airplanes,and i would bet had the suitcase been put in the overhead,the cat would have NOT been happy!

anyone who has the "perc" of being able to afford to fly on a private jet,probably doenst worry about the cost of fuel or other such..corporations provide the jets for the executives and some others for business ,and then there are the wealthy who own their own..! it would be relaxing just to go to a private airport and board a plane with no baggage nor security issues,nor hassles with tsa and long lines!

per news reports,the TSA people did screen the man and found the boxcutter,took out the blades and gave both the blades and the item back to him!i have been "double screened"and had even some small bottles of hand lotion taken away! go figure..yes,TSA employees can and do make mistakes,even with the x ray total body screen modules and other such they have available...

the whole point behind the airline clubs and their design, was to give those willing to pay (and the memberships are not cheap)a place to sit back and relax,generally between flights,use a conference room for brief meetings,have a snack and a cocktail or two,then go on your way..somehow the "fast food" in and out idea to me would not be worth the membership fee..the clubs are arranged to be a little less crowded in seating than the airport waitng areas,and the chairs are "lounge type", so i wonder why "grab and go" would be a customer "must have"...

when an airline moves,closes or opens a new crew base,especially at a large complex like DFW,that indicates they will be adjusting routes and probably adding more non stop flights from that particular city..i wish them well as frontier has had a few "makeovers and "restarts" in its history..

THE PILOTS UNION FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES HAS ALWAYS MANAGED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE MANAGMENT OF AA FOR WHAT THEY WANTED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS..AA HAS NEVER (EVEN THE OLD AIRLINE)WANTED THE PILOTS TO GO ON STRIKE,EVEN FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME DUE TO THE DISRUPTION OF SERVICE..THEY HAVE A BIGGER BARGAINING CHIP THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF PILOT SHORTAGES AND PASSENGER LOADS GOING UP..IM SURE AN AGREEMENT WILL BE ON THE TABLE FAIRLY SOON FOR THAT REASON..

even with the security measures that have been in place for years now,gate passes were/are given to parents or or relatives meeting an unaccompnaied minor,some special groups with balloons and welcome home signs for military personnel,or persons needing assistance who do not want the skycaps or electric cart..i am old enough to remember when security was just hand wanding, and then hand wanding and metal detectors,and on and on as time has gone by..

southwest was formed under the premise of being a low cost/low fare carrier ,and at the time flew only in texas..it has "morphed" over the years from "the little airline that could",to a major competitor in the aviation industry,and their fares are NOT the cheapest as their route structure has grown,they have added to their fleet,and just expanded in general..a lot of people have "loved" southwest because they liked the "folksy attitude,friendly service,no bag charges,etcetera..that has gone by the wayside..
