by Gary Leff

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • A United passenger abandoned a puppy brought to the U.S. from China, lacking the correct paperwork. A pilot adopted the dog and named it Polaris. (HT: Tommy L)

  • UK border force walks out, passengers still processed without a wait maybe the bureaucrats aren’t so indispensable after all?

  • The American-JetBlue partnership continues to spur competition in the Northeast. Yet the trial has concluded in the government’s effort to block it.

  • In which Mesa Airlines CEO Jonathan Ornstein tells American Airlines Vice Chairman Derek Kerr to stuff himself.

  • Not quite in the league of Munich airport’s lip sync to Come Away With Me by the Donots, but sadly all copies of that have been removed due to licensing issues. So I’ll take it:

  • Remember when Delta wouldn’t cancel main line flights for months at a time?
