News and notes from around the interweb:
- 250 free Iberia Avios
- How Southwest Airlines adjusted to the grounding of the 737 MAX
- United is testing swapping out a bottle of white wine for a bottle of rosé.
Regular readers know I enjoy sharing frivolous @united service details ripped from employee communiqués. Today, I have big news: #roséallday is coming to first class. Who’s excited? pic.twitter.com/mCctDn3sTh

- Star Alliance airline ANA hopes rabbit poo can power its planes
- Proposed law would standardize testing of TSA checkpoints and monitor whether the agency actually fixes problems that are uncovered
- Delta’s new investment in Korean Air could give the Cho family effective control of the airline against activist investors seeking greater transparency. If the Delta investment was made in collusion with the family it could violate South Korean law.
Gary does good
As one Star Alliance Airline (All Nippon Airways (ANA)) is converting rabbit poo to ethanol for jet fuel, I predict passengers will soon see alcoholic beverages made from this same rabbit poo on all Star Alliance flights.
