- Watch Atlanta baseball live from your hotel room
- Boy George slams British Airways for making passengers wait while Victoria Beckham deplaned. What he’s saying, then, is that BA sucks up only to Ms. Beckham – they’re not a true Karma Chameleon currying favor with everyone.
Myself and @britishairways are back in love. Now I know it costs 6,000 to get off the plane before everyone else. Also, my current remit is to be more friendly, human and have more patience. Lol! Wish me luck. I also forgot to say how lovely my flight was!

- ‘There you go, bringing class into it again’ Flight attendants union head Sara Nelson, unable to secure the presidency of the AFL-CIO, offers that her basic mode of thinking is – at root – Marxist:
What I said is that we won’t beat the capitalists in Washington until we’ve beaten them in the workplace.⁰If we only see ourselves as a political organization then we’re allowing the owner class to divide us further. Claim our power as the working class.

The flight attendants on my Delta flight about to land in Atlanta crouching on the floor as we go through serious turbulence. They both almost hit the roof as we went through a bad patch a few minutes ago. Scary. #atlwx pic.twitter.com/ENNYsmZScA

Safety first. Flight attendants’ or passenger blood on the aircraft ceiling due to turbulence can ruin your afternoon.
Sometimes the highway in the sky has potholes…..
Nelson really needs to go.
Sara Nelson is an idiot. She reminds me of that Lara Gladding at AA a few years ago. Just keep being as radical and annoying as possible and hopefully they can get a cushy government job.
I’ve seen FA’s drop to the floor multiple times over the years, especially on transpac flights where severe turbulence can come without warning.
Nelson looks absolutely ridiculous with that BLM nonsense in her profile picture.
OH NO… @Gary AGAIN does not know FA protocols but posts click bait. Go back to whining.
Guess what- that is PROCEDURE. Kudos the the FA’s for quick acting. But, kudos to @Gary for click baiting..
I knew a FA whose flight hit extreme turbulence. She went airborne and landed on her back on a row of seats. She broke her pelvis and back. Never worked again.
I saw a quick thinking, and well trained, AA flight attendant dump a fresh pot of hot coffee on the floor when we hit severe turbulence. Her reaction time was impressive.
