- Passenger saves the life of 3 month old baby on Spirit Airlines flight to Orlando
On my flight back from Pittsburgh to Orlando, a baby stopped breathing three rows ahead of me. Thankfully a nurse (Tamara Panzino) was able to get the baby to breathe again. (1) pic.twitter.com/6oDgFCG7FS

- Sharing this even though I expect it’s quite old. Looks like China Eastern to me, and no masks.

- Visa, Mastercard, and American Express all classify gun stores with new merchant code seen by many as a precursor to being pressured into banning such sales.
- New Zealand scraps on-arrival tests, vaccination mandate, mask-wearing on flights
- I knew that American Airlines humanitarian fares were ending, just not that they were retained for LDS. I suspect that the LDS contract is more lucrative with less leakage – HUMN fares generally were bookable by bucket shops. They’re a great price discrimination tool for group business from a very price sensitive customer group, but not if they’re booked by others outside the target audience. Instead of fixing that, American eliminated most of the fares.
- Remember when there were ticket offices?
Well, what is a humanitarian fare?
Preference just for one religion? That doesn’t sound right.
Thank You Gary for the info on mask wearing and arrival testing updates
Bereavement fares went away because scammers took advantage
The malamute… damn near identical to mine.
I could see my Mal doing that, but that is about 125 lbs of unsecured weight in the cabin.
Hmmm…
@drrichard It’s a “corporate” group contract, not a religious preference.
So preference for one religious group over another is not discrimination how? Asking for a friend.
Wait, white Christians aren’t getting preferential treatment over another Church? The horror! Call your Republican and tell them to restore the proper privilege!
I suspect this is part of an active contract with the LDS church. Probably a large contract, thinking of all those missionaries flying all over the world. If so, it’s not religious bigotry or preference on the part of AA — just another part of a deal to lock in business.
