News and notes from around the interweb:

• American Airlines: Clean. Your. Planes. (And passengers, if you do this to the seat, how do you live with yourself just leaving it there?)

  Shoutout @AmericanAir for the vomit on our seats! Quite the welcome gift! #AmericanAirlines pic.twitter.com/MXITTJFMNQ

• Someone make it stop. This is such a bad customer experience – ruins the rest of the investment in the product.

  @united flight 2633 DEN-SFO. Forcing everyone to check bags after boarding group 3 because supposedly the overhead is full! Does this look full to you?? Room for probably 60 bags or more on the plane! So disingenuous. If it’s because the flight is 90” late, just say so! pic.twitter.com/qjHjEfMqLF

• Airlines promise a hotel when you’re stranded overnight for reasons within their control (mechanical, crew). They make no promises about the quality of that hotel.

  The type is Hotel @AmericanAir puts us in after waiting 3 hours to get everything sorted out while with a baby in the airport, trying to feed it and keep its sleep routine…no courtesy lounge offer or anything. Thanks! I’ll make sure to book you guys next time- sarcasm. #airlines pic.twitter.com/WwikKYYz0W

• Can AI replace air traffic controllers and reduce accidents? And some of you think that remote towers are a wild, off the reservation idea. What’s nuts is that we’ll still be using paper flight strips in the 2030s.

  

• Delta really isn’t that different from American, after all.
