News and notes from around the interweb:
- A Southwest Airlines passenger found a photo of a man taped to her luggage when she retrieved it from baggage claim. Weird.
Well, a reader tracked down who the man is, which deepens the mystery. (They also explain how they found him.)
@SouthwestAir Can you help me figure out why this random picture was taped to my sister’s checked luggage today? Very creepy. Flight WN725 pic.twitter.com/cbtkr7jWbt

- What the previous passenger thought of the American Airlines Oasis product.
@AmericanAir I was hoping to settle this privately, but after I emailed you 11 days ago (no response), I don’t know what else to do. This is uncleaned vomit on my wife’s seat. The crew refused to help her clean it up and instead, argued that it “probably’ wasn’t vomit (it was) pic.twitter.com/fuZUbf6eyH

I have no evidence, but my guess is that this was a practical joke gone awry. Zachary’s buddy taped his photo to the wrong red bag.
The Twitter post regarding the climate idiots reminds me that Bertrand Russell informed us that, “men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.” Also, from George Orwell, “There are notions so foolish that only an intellectual will believe them.”
Yawn. I feel pity for anyone who would care about this goofy story. Screwballs are everywhere. The more attention they’re given, the more bold they might become. Don’t remember if her name & address were on a luggage tag … but I’d be down at the pound right now picking out a great big dog to come live with me,
If Zachary had nothing to do with his photo being taped to the side of this woman’s bag, these articles could give rise to a lawsuit for invasion of privacy. Look before you leap!
Wild guess. The guy in the pictures tapes his picture to his luggage so he can find it on the carousel. It come off and a baggage handler tapes it back on but gets the wrong bag.
@James N
And you’re not an intellectual Jimmy boy, so what does anyone care what you say?
I’m not convinced it is the same person. Searching millions of images and finding a face that is close is not surprising. There may be multiple people with the similar degrees of similarity out there.
Definitely need to know Why…
I flew out of YYZ last summer- the TAA CEO is completely correct. On the day I flew last summer, over 80% of the flights were delayed or canceled.
Looking at the board now, it looks like that has improved to only 60% delayed or canceled- that is a doubling on-time performance! Still an absolute fiasco, but facts are facts…
