Reportedly “police and an ambulance were waiting for the plane when they landed Thursday afternoon.”
Since leaving government he’s worked as a commentator for NBC. And now United has hired them to become their new senior vice president and chief communications officer.
In other words, in his new job it’ll be as if he stayed on as Press Secretary through the new administration.
On July 7 of last year Air Canada Flight 759 from Toronto to San Francisco was cleared to land on runway 28L. It lined up to land on taxiway C instead, which had four planes on it waiting for take off.

United’s new Polaris lounge opens April 30th near gate G92 at San Francisco’s airport. The facility is 28,000 square feet – the same size as American’s Flagship lounge in Miami and one of the world’s larger lounges – and has 440 seats. They have more power outlets – 492 – than seats.

The buffet has a ramen noodle bar in the afternoon.
British Airways doesn’t have a competitive business class product. On their Boeing 777s seating is eight across, middle seats are especially intimate and passengers in the window climb over the feet of their seat opponents.
