News notes from around the interweb:

• Catering workers say food gets too hot on the tarmac in Phoenix

• Phoenix soliciting proposals for an on-airport hotel

• When you’re Mandy Moore you get great help from the American Airlines twitter team, maybe its because her dad and stepmom are American Airlines employees. I wonder if she was nonrevving?

  Hey @AmericanAir! In midst of traveling home early and in a post-food poisoning haze, I left my iPad on the plane yesterday. I’ve tracked it to Philly and it looks like it’s in a lost and found lock box. I’ve filed a claim but would love your help!

  In non-essential news, @AmericanAir has found my iPad and it’s being shipped home. I know it’s silly with all that is happening in the world, but thanks to all the kind folks who offered to help. Perfect sentiment to end the year with- thank u, friends! And thanks @americanair!
