News and notes from around the interweb:
- Why do Southwest Airlines employees sing so much more often than employees of other airlines? By the way this is the famous gate agent Scott:
@SouthwestAir please recognize this AWESOME ops agent who boarded the phx-aus flight today.

- Lufthansa’s dedicated flight for European parliament
- New ‘Mileage Bargains’ 55,000 mile business class roundtrips with Miles & More. Too bad Germany’s Payment Services Supervision Act made it so hard for American’s to get Lufthansa’s miles.
- Speed tape is the single most confusing thing in aviation.

- The Washington Post gets fooled into thinking Marriott Homes & Villas is a platform like Airbnb when they’re actually basically taking a commission re-marketing listings from other providers.
- “Android users with low credit scores ranked higher [as drivers] than iPhone users with the best credit.”
- LATAM’s bankruptcy reorganization moves forward with approval of unsecured creditors.
I wonder if these mileage specials apply to Jews, too. Or are they excluded from this one?
I fell for this Miles & More clickbait.
Kinda interesting to see the fair and unbiased source is used for the iphone/android piece.
I love how that aircraft tech knows rhat there are dozens of people watching him and filming him and have so many questions and concerns come up in ther heads, and he just completely avoids eye contact.

Only to Jews who comply with crew member instructions and wear their medical masks as required by German law. Jews (an any other religious or non-religious folks) who think rules do not apply to them may want to book El Al.
Not sure having to wear a mask is worth it, no matter how cheap the award. (Not that I have miles to use anyway.) Germans are notoriously rule complaint – we almost went there last December had had to buy exactly the right masks before going (FFP2) to be able to take the trains. Got cancelled with Omicron, went to France instead, but their country, their rules. The masks worked just fine there.
The casual anti-Semitism that has been exposed here just shows how low we’ve sunk.
Might want to start putting disclaimers on all LH bookings and deals to be aware of their treatment of Jewish passengers
Can Aegean Miles be used to get this offer on Lufthansa?
