Flying high?
A couple of interesting airline stories in today’s New York Times:
While Ted may be a cute name for United's new low-fare airline, this article explains why other low-cost carriers aren’t too thrilled with United’s restructuring plan, which includes $1.6 billion in federal loan guarantees. Naturally, they’re a little peeved with the idea, saying that this would give United an unfair advantage over those who had to pull themselves up by their wingtips.
And this article explains the latest international air news: "Domestic security officials plan to station American inspectors at a number of airports in Europe, Asia and elsewhere to look for terrorists who may be using fraudulent travel documents, officials said Monday.
"The plan, still preliminary, is seen as one way of avoiding the kind of repeated flight cancellations that have disrupted travel between Europe and the United States in the last two months."
