I know that this isn’t an airport and you don’t have to announce your departure, but like many other #avgeeks I too will be moving over to the Bluer Skies. Same handle as on here.

It’s been a fun 7,5 years on here and I’ve met lots of fun and interesting people through Twitter both online and offline.
Having said that, I really dislike the direction our overlord has steered the ship to, especially over the last few months.

Sure, that picture is moronic in and of itself but why is nobody talking about Donald’s hair line and massive combover which we all know he won’t like?

So Pratt&Whitney is now more or less directly responsible for two airlines going bankrupt.
It’s amazing how they’ve managed to escape responsibility for so long and airlines are still happily buying GTF engines.
WSJ reports Frontier has dropped the merger bid & Spirit will file for bankruptcy.
I don’t know all the factors at work here. It’s a complicated thing…but it’s been tough sledding for a while at Spirit.

BREAKING:
Per a memo obtained by ACN, American Airlines has also discovered bullet holes in aircraft following recent flights from Haiti.
American is the third U.S. carrier to report being fired upon in Haiti within the last 24 hours. This unsettling revelation has fueled growing concerns that U.S. airlines may allegedly be targeted while flying through Haitian airspace.

Absolutely huge news for people who have anxiety about losing their luggage.
Not only is Apple integrating "Find My" with airlines directly, but the baggage-tracing system used by over 500 (!) airlines will start using this tech, too. AirTags are a must-have.
