I was not prepared for how much I'm enjoying bootleg JetLag: The Game productions on youtube.

Turkish TK291 from IST to DFW had to divert to DUB today yet it's arriving at DFW with only a 4-5 hour delay;

Dunno how Turkish pulled that off but that's gotta be a great outcome for those passengers. (perhaps the main and relief crew's rest times could be tweaked to stay within limits)

What’s up with American’s 737-8 registrations - I just spotted N315UA and I gotta do a double take. They’re telling me there wasn’t another suffix more appropriate????

Do better AA: you’re embarrassing your hometown.

"Heterosexuality?

In this economy?!"

Favorite phrase seen at Dallas Pride Festival yesterday

The second half presents a super-workable fix for most legacy parts of US/Canadian cities, especially the core(w/i Loop12) of Dallas. It'll never happen, but fun to think about youtu.be/ba2nA-NIWRA?...

The 737MAX winglets look like the equivalent of flames painted on the sides of a Dodge Neon.

A little disappointing that Cathay Pacific CX876 arrived on 13R, but at least the skies cleared for a beautiful evening of plane spotting at DFW.

Caught the United 737-900 at Love Field last night, dunno why it was here but too cool to see the Evo Blue livery at DAL - brought back memories of taking Continental Express from DAL.

Perhaps one day there will be meaningful scheduled service other than Southwest there (it's 96% today!)

@flightradar24.com I'm rather enjoying the new filtering system being standard across all platforms - now to remember how to multi-select!

Missing in the Korean Air new livery discourse is that Aeromexico’s new livery is fantastic!

Brain freeze double-take seeing the new Korean Air logo on travel searches

I don't hate it, but brain's gonna take a sec to normalize it

I think airlines should get rid of in-seat video screens:

-the control box blocks legroom in the window seat
&
-Swissair 111 - airplanes need to keep hot wires to a minimum

In-seat power and Bring-Your-Own-Device is solid.

Place a moving map on the bulkhead like back in the day

Party over at Southwest Airlines, indeed.

Another great airline fucked by corporate raiders

Continental barely survived it, but TWA, Eastern and others were crushed by the ridiculous demands, antagonistic labor relations, and sell-asset myopia.

I’ll miss the un-Wall-Street-ized Southwest ❤️

The Mavs now have 2019’s best squad!

I always thought I should be a Clippers fan - I love ships and SoCal

Todays forecast fooled me into thinking it would rain in Dallas - it’s pouring in Fort Worth and at DFW but the forecast often fails to account for Dallas’ Urban Heat Island 🤷‍♂️
