I just came across this:
Flying Large™ - Air Travel Tips for Big Passengers
Now, I'm not a tiny guy, and I feel for anybody who can't fit into a normal seat. But I'm not giving up part of my seat for you. These "Travel Tips" were interesting...

My company books me on a Delta 757 from Orlando to Atlanta this morning. It's running late, because the APU died on the previous turn, so the thing's already hot and stuffy. The ground air cart isn't doing a whole lot to help things.
I get to my seat in the hot airplane, and reach up to open...
I thought I had seen it all. Then I got home to KMCO yesterday, and all the doorways to the little trains that go between the main terminal and the satellites was roped off with Tensabarriers. The train pulls in, the exit doors open, and -- nothing. The entrance doors are shut, and we can't get...

Heard a rumor from a friend of a friend that Wal-Mart is looking to hire a few pilots. Learjet 31/35 first officers. Starting pay around $55,000. Three year guaranteed upgrade. Home almost every night. Relocation required, which they'll pay for. They'll type you right away.
Informational and a...
I'm usually very patient and nice to people when they come up and ask me questions while I'm in uniform. After all, I'm seen as someone who should, at least theoretically, be able to help them in an airport. So I try, as best I can. But the following happened off-duty, before work...

Just FYI for some of our new guys (and old guys!) who don't know about it yet, we have a separate message board, with an area restricted to just our pilots. No management has access, at least not directly.

Hey, folks. Our airline is absolutely fed up with the Millennium Airport Hotel in Buffalo (formerly Four Points), near the Walden Galleria mall. After months of complaints about bad van service and rude staff, our hotel contact has done some legwork and gotten some bids from different hotels...
For about the 50th time at CommutAir, we're pushing to get deadhead pay credit. Right now, deadheads are unpaid -- the per-diem clock ticks, but that's it. (At the same time, we're hearing that because our bids are all under guarantee, we're getting paid more than we work anyway, which isn't...

So I'm sitting in a nice local bar in an unnamed city a few nights ago with my FO, for a couple of beers to unwind after a fairly high-workload day. In general, I don't mention to a soul that I'm a pilot on an overnight. If asked at a hotel bar, I'm "here on business." At local bars, I'm...
I think we finally have a viable solution to the security issues:
