A key point I address in my latest newsletter is how the conversation on modernizing/upgrading Air Traffic Control has not changed in 60+ years. To prove that, I pulled headlines & excerpts from articles back to 1967. /1 colleenmondor.substack.com/p/34-we-need...

#34: We need to talk about Air Traffic Control in America

Many of you have likely noticed that we are experiencing a problem with Air Traffic Control in this county.

DLD 558: Diversions and Distractions

The adventure of getting there is part of the fun, right? Plus lots of new routes and a new terminal on the horizon.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

The shipyard here in NH/ME is a huge employer, and they're all unpaid now, too. Lots of foodbank action going on. At least no one is missing heating oil yet, but that'll come soon enough. Not good at all.

@moredotsmorelines.com Alameda County Community Food Bank (which is HQ’d right down the road from OAK) showed up at OAK to share with federal employees.

I love ACCFB and support them but wow — that they have to take that to the airport directly. Yikes.

1h40m of @flightradar24.com NYC-bound traffic sped up by 20,000% down to 30 seconds.

It’s not too often we see all three major airports using the same runway 4 approaches. It’s beautiful.

DLD 555: The Earl of Global Services

A major milestone crossed, so what's next? Plus one airline calls it quits and another is making major moves in that direction, while others are expanding and refreshing.

Quote of the night (so far): "Trail mix typically has two ingredients, M&Ms and disappointment."

And then a discussion about carob chips as a substitute and how terrible that is as a life choice.

Fozz gets his 4MM on United tonight. That's GS for life.

We're celebrating in the Polaris lounge pre-flight, and Ted is coming along for the ride.

Rarr!
