  1. Watched the 4 minute 38 second Fox segment via the link. Great work, Gary. Best to be on Fox, most viewers + all those 5 star Bangkok hotels carry Fox.

  2. Good job on the Fox interview. The AS code share stuff with AA is interesting. I wish they would expand this more in the Eastern US where AS is weak. I agree that the SLC routes are interesting.

  3. @DaninMCI thanks!

    @GUWONDER I’ve seen those reports but hand’t read a Hilton filing.

    @ED I don’t think anyone was watching tv yesterday…! I was thrilled they gave me four and a half minutes, though!

  4. I think I would refuse to be interviewed by anyone who constantly interrupts me, especially with a permanent smile on her face – – – not that anyone would ask for an interview with me…

  5. American should let AS codeshare on flights out of ORD and DFW. That would add real value to AS flyers.
