I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day and your travels were enjoyable. As for me, I was hard working and flying around the Southeast. The weather was excellent down here on Christmas!
The picture on the left is from Zurich! Hopefully, no one was caught in a snow mess at an airport this Christmas season!

Here is an ALPA statement that I just received:
Dated: December 12, 2007
Just one day after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.4343, a bill that would raise the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots to 65, the U.S. Senate followed suit tonight when it approved the same piece of legislation by unanimous consent—meaning that no senator objected.
“ALPA has worked very hard from the beginning of this process to make sure that the recommendations of the Executive Board—which were intended to protect our pilots—were included in any age change,” said ALPA President Capt. John Prater. “I am gratified to report to our members tonight that this legislation reflects the direction of the Board.”
The bill now goes to the U.S. President for his signature, which will make it law. The timing for this has yet to be determined.

You could be using your cell phone next time you board your flight. Continental Airlines is running a 3 month test program to allow you to use your cell phone or your PDA to check-in and board your flight. This program just launched yesterday at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
Instead of using the normal paper boarding pass, Continental and TSA will now allow you to show a code the airline has sent to your phone or PDA. The two dimensional bar code on the phone displays squares and rectangles that stores the passengers name and flight information. You will still need to show your photo ID to TSA.
Continental is the first US airline that is trying this new boarding technique on your cell phone. Next time you fly Continental out of Houston, be a guinea pig and use your cell phone! Give it a try and see what the future will behold!

The first winter storm of the season has caused some headaches for travelers across the country these past couple of days. From delays, cancellations, and even incidents with planes at the airport involving the icy runways and taxiways has caused a lot of headaches. It is never a fun time traveling when the weather turns for the worse.
I have read about a couple incidents that were definitely weather related over the past couple of days. Last night, a JetBlue plane slides off the runway in Siberacuse, oops I mean Syracuse Airport. The trouble didn’t stop there when the tug came and got stuck to pull the plane back onto the taxiway. The passengers finally made it off the plane a couple hours later.
Another incident was a United Airlines flight skidded off the taxiway when taxing to the runway for takeoff to Chicago in Des Moines, IA. The plane’s right wheel slid on some ice and then sunk into the adjacent grass.
The good thing about these two incidents were that they are very minor. These winter conditions on the ground provide just as much problems for pilots as the drivers on the road. At least we don’t have to deal with everyone else on the road who can’t drive and understand the weather conditions!
