• The Top 10 Reasons They Missed MSP

  Just like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, unraveling the real story behind the Northwest/Delta Airlines crew who forgot to land at MSP just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. Brings to mind the gap in the Nixon Watergate tapes. If that doesn’t...

• Lessons From the Crash of Air France 447

  Having just traveled to Paris on an Air France A330 a week before the crash of Flight 447, I took a rather personal interest in the crisis wondering whether it might have been the same aircraft I’d flown on the week before for starters and a host...

• The Southwest Effect in Ireland?

  For as long as I can remember, Southwest Airlines, now the largest U.S. domestic airline, created in the 1970s by Herb Kelleher and Rollin King, has been the low-cost airline others most want to emulate. The need to copy isn’t just about money,...

• Certified Flight Attendants

  Most airline passengers understand that pilots are required to qualify initially through FAA guidelines, are also required to regularly undergo a physical exam just to make sure some small problem doesn’t lead to incapacitation aboard a flight....

• Northwest Becomes Delta

  For anyone who ever built model airplanes using a spray gun or just an aerosol can, this is all going to seem pretty familiar. To everyone else, this clip is simply one step - although a very visible one - in the process of airline evolution. Enjoy. And...

• Airline Labor: Tougher Tactics to Come?

  I have to good fortune to be one of the aviation resources some media folks seem to want to use to translate complex aviation babble into language even my 14-year old daughter can understand. We don’t have too many good-news stories in the airline...

• Aviation Supply vs. Demand - The Business Aviation Option

  I’m not an economist so perhaps I tend to oversimplify some things, but I find the concept of supply and demand a bit puzzling, especially when it comes to parts of our own industry that claim to focus on the need to constantly improve customer...

• Virgin America: Reinventing the Wheel

  Clever and creative are not terms people use much when they speak about the airline industry, except for a few of the “Gen Xer airlines” as I call the Low Cost Carriers because they really seem to get it. I was listening to an engaging interview...

• United and Continental Airlines: Dumb and Dumber

  As a marketing-communications guy , JD Power and Associates recent labeling of Continental Airlines as one of the best in the nation for overall customer satisfaction, as well as the Best U.S. Airline award CAL also grabbed from the Official Airline Guide...

• Kick or Stick Your Airline Career; What Would You Do?

  Normally, Jetwhine does not post pieces without the author’s name. This is an exception since this story is from an active line pilot. We’ve changed the author’s name to protect what is left of their career. Admittedly, this is a little...

• Northwest to Become the Official Airline of the GOP … This is Some Sort of Joke, Right?

  You have to love the fact that the GOP supports business, even if it is mostly the Fortune 100s. The Minneapolis Star Tribune today reported that the Grand Old Party announced Northwest Airlines as their choice to be the official airline for this summer’s...

• Southwest Airlines … Thank You

  As Friday’s Jetwhine posts proves yet again, I simply love to tweak the nose of practically every airline in the U.S. They just give us so bloggers so much ammunition. I can’t seem to help myself. It’s always been tough to say anything... Posted Dec 24 2007, 01:16 AM by Jetwhine Filed under: air travel, airline, Colleen Barrett, Jetwhine, The Buzz, Southwest Airlines
