YEAH! What about THAT?!

And shouldn't we all be driving flying cars by now?

When I was a kid watching the Jetsons cartoons, I figured we'd all have them by now!

Maybe Delta should just pay us more $$$ and then more people might actually want to be pilots?

Talk about misguided priorities.

I think it is long haul cruise pilot only. With the MPL I don't think they are qualified to land. ICBW however....

In my case it wasn't the wheels. Made the mistake of putting my Purty Neat Bag below on a DH. They must've run over it with a tug to bend the metal frame. Ended up replacing the bag. Never put one below on a DH again.

Rollerblade wheels you buy at a sporting goods store work well as replacements, at least on the TravelPros.

Correct. The Herminator's leadership style has been well covered here. I don't think employees should be fired for anything but the more serious cases. That said, Herm needs to go.

We already have 'em in New Orleans. They launch off potholes, over bridges, and through guard rails; landing in canals, living rooms, and on top of other vehicles.
