News and notes from around the interweb:
- I complain occasionally about passengers with bare feet on planes – going to the lavatory even! – but I’ve never seen this before.
No shoes – on the flight attendant!…I’m currently on AA 1186 from LGA to DFW, and the flight attendant working first class (an older gentleman, very pleasant) is working in stocking feet! As filthy as the aircraft floors are, particularly around the galley and the lav, I’m amazed that a f/a would go shoeless – not to mention how it looks.
- This doesn’t seem possible? Also, I wouldn’t design a system this way.

No era lo que esperaba, pero me parece un trato justo @Delta 😅 pic.twitter.com/v2JGKCOZUY

- The first comment here is “My wife and I took a trip to Paris. Our most expensive meal of the trip was at JFK.”
- The story of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, ubiquitous in airports.
In 1975, a mother in rural Pennsylvania lost her child in a fluke farming accident.
The tragedy sparked a series of events that eventually resulted in the most iconic pretzel brand in the world.

Minimalist sock shoes. A lot of brands on market. They really do look like socks but have a nice rubber sole. Maybe they were more comfortable while he was inflight.
The flight attendant wearing only socks was a little light in the loafers
Delta Airlines may allow tamales in your hand luggage. According to the Delta Airlines published policy, carry-on tamales are permitted, provided the tamale has been pooped into a diaper bag. It is still being determined if an uneaten tamale safely ensconced in a diaper bag is allowed on your Delta flight.
AA needs to put their “foot” down.
DL says no to cords and cables. So much for any businessman flying with their electronic gear. And I need my prescription to have any kind of medication — so much for OTC pills. Where the hell is this?
How do you spend a billion dollars on a branded credit card that doesn’t come with a signup bonus? They did a bit of marketing, I guess, but that doesn’t add up to $1B. Was the Apple card their first credit card so all the expense of getting that department up and running fall onto it? Even then…
Credit losses.
The $1B from Goldman Sachs was George Santos’s salary lol
So sad they will have to trim executives golden parachutes by 5%
How will they survive?
