"Just from the travel we’ve booked for this year, I’ve already gotten back hundreds (maybe into the thousands) of dollars over what I initially paid."

Southwest Air ditching open seating & switching to assigned seats? Man, there's a lotta 20-somethings that are gonna need retraining.
"Southwest Airlines Is Ditching Open Seating on Flights" - WSJ

was on a flight last week that took off, leveled off at around 4000 ft, and started circling. there was no announcement from the flight deck about what was happening. finally after about 30 minutes, the plane started climbing. the captain said there was a problem with a gauge, but they got the all clear from the maintenance crew to continue to our destination. the plane was a Boeing 737-700 (not a MAX).
Continuing my sharing of airport photos... Southwest Airlines special livery "Nevada One" pushing back from the gate with a lektro pushback. Also got the beacon!

Delta Follows Southwest In Surprise Social Media Ban
A year after the government banned TikTok on its devices, the clampdown has begun for government contractors
Delta Airlines told employees they cannot have TikTok, or any made by ByteDance, not just on airline-issued devices - but also on any personal gadget that they use to access the airline's inner systems

This is the upside of technocracy - where you have people who are appointed to do good things, and who want to do good things, and who figure out how to do good things. There are dormant powers *everywhere* in law. Remember when #SouthwestAir stranded a million passengers over Christmas week and Transport Secretary #PeteButtigieg responded by talking sternly about doing better, but without opening any enforcement actions against SWA?
