Why Southwest Grabs My Business, Again and Again

Word of Mouth marketing (WOM) is a bit like the Superman of campaigns. Nothing can stop it. That’s because the company the campaign focuses on has little or nothing to do with the effort. It’s all customer driven. People recommending products...

A Monkey in Our Subscription Works

A college professor of mind told me a story years ago — OK … MANY years ago — about how solving one problem often creates another. Boy … did our switch from Feedburner to Mail Chimp subscriber software — not to mention my...

Commercial Curiosity Reveals High-Flying Volunteer Space Program

Curiosity often costs me a lot of sleep. Tonight I saw that TV commercial about the guys who captured some cool, outer space video using a weather balloon. So Google and I went looking for them. I found JP Aerospace . I don’t know if they did the commercial...

AA Pilots: Bankruptcy is YOUR Fault

From Paris – There’s no small amount of irony that AMR, parent of American Airlines and American Eagle, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection – a move certain to save the carrier millions over the next few years – only a day before 2,000,000...

A Budding CFI, a New Writer

Editor Note: At least a couple of times each week, someone sends an unsolicited story trying to convince us to publish it. More often than not, the material simply doesn’t fit. It’s either too long, too sales focused or – as happened...

AF 447: Final Moments, a Few Thoughts

I have always felt I’d be doing my flight students a disservice not to mention that while soaring aloft is an unmatched experience, it can and will snuff out a life in a moment if the pilot becomes too complacent … no matter how sophisticated...
