Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: April 16, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onApril 16, 2017April 16, 2017 Leave a Comment

Happy Easter from sunny Los Angeles.

While I don’t take any days off, I am trying to limit my work today. It has been so busy lately and a day of rest is greatly needed. After travel for so many consecutive weeks, the week ahead should be calm and local.

The big news last week centered on Dr. David Dao. The 69-year-old doctor was bloodied and dragged off a United flight for failing to give up his confirmed seat when United needed it to transport a deadheading crew member. I will continue covering this story but feel I may be already beating a dead horse–

After consecutive weeks of abject PR nightmares, hopefully United will have a quiet week this week. I think it American’s turn for a disaster!

Enjoy your evening with family and friends and look forward to a review of Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines Business Class coming up in the next few days.
