Greetings from 38,000 feet. I’m in the air enroute to Europe, where I’ll be spending most of the week. No new products to review on this trip…TAP and Air India didn’t have award space…
Some more disturbances in the air over the last week, with a crazed passenger on Southwest, a lewd British Airways FA and a fight on my own Spirit Airlines flight.
We also learned a bit more about Joon Airlines (from Air France) and Boeing won an important case against Bombardier.
Here’s a look at the week’s top stories:

My initial reaction was to condemn the police response to the latest Southwest dragging incident. Now I have second thoughts.

Curious. What is your final thougjt on southwest then?
I like your solution but I still question how viable it is. It’s certainly worth a try for at least 15-20 minutes.
