News and notes from around the interweb:
- Here’s a great example of United Signature Service in action.
- $11 item to detect bed bugs
- Scammers are constructing fake people to get real credit cards
On a warm day in May, agents from the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service descended on a leafy neighborhood in South Carolina and raided the home of a DJ suspected of using fake identities to obtain 558 credit cards from Capital One Financial Corp.
- Qatar Airways will bring its new business class ‘QSuites’ to New York JFK starting December 16 (flights QR701/702).
- American is in talks with Airbus over its much-deferred A350 order that I’ve been skeptical of their ever accepting.
“It’s too early to determine the outcome of American’s negotiations with Airbus, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Options include adding to the order, downsizing to a smaller Airbus wide-body such as the A330, deferring delivery again or canceling outright.
A cancellation could carry a financial penalty. Isom said the order was “an item of discussion,” without elaborating. Representatives of American and Airbus declined to comment on any talks.”
- Most hated German in Thailand denied boarding for Thai Airways flight
- Okay, I’ve seen much worse on a plane but the look on the filming passenger’s face is priceless. (HT: The Girl and Globe)
I thought Scott Kirby said United had the best business class from New York.
@mark, that was obviously before qatar announced that they were bringing these new flights to New York.
The real question is whether all these “fake people” can participate in the Equifax class action lawsuit.
Scammers are constructing fake people to get real credit cards.”
Tickle tickle…
I thought Lucky was the most hated German in Thailand.
