You two Iron Man 2 haters must be part of the "first off, it's football, not soccer.. and it's the best sport in the world!" crowd. :D

Yep, I went there.

The Japanese PM resigned. A) Ferd, what did you do? B) Could a change in government affect DAL? C) What do we do with the international man of mystery, Ferd?

I remember at USAir in the days before online non rev booking some people (not me) would call up and list themselves 10-15 times for the same flight so when you called to check loads it would tell you there was one seat and 15 non revs listed. This would of course discourage people from trying that flight. Obivously this was (and still is) a no no but some people would do it anyway.:)

Just because you can run 8 miles (for the record, I can) sure as hell deosn't make you a great athlete (I'm not). They aren't running continuously either.

And I like soccer, just hate it when people hold it up to be something more than it is....just a sport

Missing the point there, chief. I can run 8 miles too. I was trying to point out people's ignorance to a sport they have never been close to. I have played both soccer and football. And I can assure you soccer is WAY more demanding than football. In football I rested for more than I actually played, and most of the guys were only on the team because of their size and not necessarily their athletic ability.
Like someone else stated, soccer players athleticism and the demands of the game (just like hockey) are under appreciated. But whatever, we Americans must have it right and the entire world has it wrong:rolleyes: Run along and go idolize your fat "athletes" on your favortite football team. After all that is a "manly" sport.

More from Aviation Week: LaHood Loves Airlines

LaHood’s proposal also widens the compensation airlines must offer passengers bumped from overbooked flights by $250 to $650 for domestic services that get the passenger to their destination within two hours. This rises to $800 for passengers that arrive at their domestic destination more than two hours late, and $1,300 for passengers on international flights that arrive more than four hours after they intended.

This compensation will also be linked with inflation.

To resolve the many complaints lodged with DOT, LaHood also proposes to allow passengers a 24-hour grace period to cancel a booking, or require an airline to hold a reservation for the same period. Every ticket is now fully refundable!!! Cancel when you want! Book that seat now, just in case you want to go! But if you change your mind, thats fine. Just give the rich greedy airlines 24 hours to find someone to take that spot. Serves them right! He also seeks full disclosure of fees in all forms of advertising, more transparent pricing, and wants to mandate flight status updates within 30 minutes of any change.

With all these new rules will all airlines begin to restart selling space available "Standby" tickets to customers again in order to reduce the risk of having to pay denied boarding compensation?

Hey ATL coworkers,

Quick question. Is there a stop over store in the ATL Airport? If so, where is it located? I have a long layover there tomorrow and need to pick up a few things.

Thanks

NWA(Delta) guys/gals, where are you deplaning in Chicago for the Hawks Cup games. I thought their website said they flew UAL but someone posted a link saying NWA does charter for the NHL. Hence, I posted here to see if I can get inside info or thoughts.

thanks in advance
