News and notes from around the interweb:
- At this point I swear airline passengers are just trolling me.
I try not to complain about petty stuff on planes. It’s a stressful, miserable experience for many.

- Silver Airways hasn’t been paying rent at its Fort Lauderdale hub and could be evicted but the shocking thing is that the airport authority let them run up a seven figure tab 15 months ago and then let the airline ghost them and did nothing about it until now.
- United will offer hot midflight snacks in business class on all flights over 10 hours
- German court rules airlines don’t have to pay for alcohol during delays
- More in-person United Airlines milestone recognition. They’re getting really good at this.

- Inspired by NASA’s hypersonic aircraft, engineers break paper plane flight world record
Silver airways used to be the same airline that would make their pilots pay for their own airline training.
Silver is toast
We have a flight booked for 4/28 and they are refusing to let us cancel the flights Are we screwed? Help!
Failure to pay rent is a very bad sign. No word if the airline owes money to other airports or vendors. Look for the airline to file for Chapter 11 very soon.
