News and notes from around the interweb:
- I have few details about this incident prior to an American Airlines Miami – New York flight which was shared to social media on Monday.
- A “cooter riding gunman shot man outside” the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Mere months ago a 16 year old was shot and killed there. The property was also scammed by a group of thieves posing as Wu Tang Clan.

- Maldives is auctioning off private islands to become resorts
- The runway of the old Hong Kong airport is now an aviation-themed sky garden
- UNITED Here union opposes $20 billion proposal to subsidize re-hiring of hotel workers they want the checks to go directly to their members, not to hotels to hire their members.
- Delta crewmember vaccination pins to wear on their uniforms. Employees inform the airline they’ve been fully vaccinated, and it apparently takes about a month to get one.
Maybe it’s the airplane nerd in me but this made me smile so big. I WILL be wearing this on my uniform. 🥰 pic.twitter.com/IMZEgVJ3Zb

It will be great when the single gate agents have an angry mob of passengers in front of them
They can thank Dawg Parker
This has nothing to do with Doug.
This has to do with unruly passengers. No gate agent should have to put up with that period.
Flights cancel, flights get overbooked. People don’t have to act like a mob.
“The customers are revolting!”
Re: vaccination pins. It’s like the “I voted” stickers or wearing masks outside. Gotta virtue signal somehow and passive aggressive way to shame people you look down on.
I think our most recent batch of politicians is to blame for much of the rebellious attitudes we’re seeing today. No respect for any authority or rules.
@Jerry. You are always free to fly someone else.
Actually, please do.
I don’t want to know what diseases you have had or vaccinations or medications you have taken. and it hasn’t been done for any other disease. Why should it start now?
I wonder if I can get a United pin that says “Safe from Covid with Hepa Filtration” 🙂 Seriously I assume they don’t have to wear a mask if they have the pin on?
@nsx,
“You said it, they stink on ice!”
@Jerry
I’m sure you’re fine with American flag pins that politicians wear though. Nothing says virtue signaling better than a cheap piece of metal attached to your clothing.
Cooter riding!? haha
And Gary/VFTW continue their inexorable and pathetic slide toward Jerry Springer status.
Jerry nails it. More virtue signaling nonsense.
@Jerry, similar behavior & attitudes can be seen by observing those wearing MAGA caps.
@KidStarA – agreed. However just an observation of MAGA hat wearers/ trump cult, it seems MAGA hats/trump supporters mostly try to signal a general disdain for government and the status of America (obviously there are many exceptions) vs the virtue signaling of the left (masks, bragging about being vaccinated, bloviating about white privilege, etc.) which seems to be an overall disdain for everyday people they deem to be “less elite” than themselves and trying to prove to others that they are virtuous. Hard to see how America remains “United”. Unity and democracy is just a mirage being fed to the masses at this point, and unfortunately tribalism is taking over.
To the Masked poster. Maybe you are forgetting we now have a Democrat in office. Your analogy is ridiculous. This has been ongoing for years and is only worse now due to too many uneducated people flying many of whom have never flown before.
