  1. Those same guys that did the Braniff spot are the ones working on the new all business plane to Paris……..God bless them…….may they never be silenced…………

  2. I’d have actually considered flying Southwest in the 70’s. Those uniforms were brilliant.

  3. “Uber is threatening the value of taxi medallions (which is a good thing).”

    Yeah, maybe. Or they could just be breaking the law, which will catch up to everyone in a very bad way. Remember when PayPal gave $5.00 for every referral? That didn’t last.

  4. I totally agree with the Airbnb article. I live in a high rise condo in a tourist destination and I don’t want vacationers who care nothing about our building or the neighbors in it in and out every few days. It is against our condo rules. Luckily my condo is far enough away from the main tourist area that it has not been an issue. But I feel for people in other situations where it is a problem.

  5. There may be legitimate concerns, but most of the push back is coming from the Hotel and Lodging industry trying to stop airbnb and keep room rates high.
