How old was this jet? The first ones were produced in 1996 and there are nearly 7000 in service.

Maintenance or age, which is it?

It has been some time since I set foot on a jet. But, when I did fly it was frequently, like every two weeks. I found a route with jets ten years old or less. I really think there needs to be "an end date" to service for commercial jets. When they are taken out of service they sit in a graveyard for parts or an extended life as a "cheap fare" airline.

I flew a route, not an airfare.

Cheap fares are because of poor wages in the American labor market. End of discussion. Ever hear of a "Vacation Club" or a "Christmas Club?" They were popular with the USA Middle Class and banks or credit unions. They were effortless and didn't hurt the family budget.

It is called PLANNING!

Ride the Auto Train with Your Car. The Auto Train transports you and your car (or your van, motorcycle, SUV, small boat, jet-ski or other recreational vehicle) nonstop from the Washington, DC area to sunny Florida, just outside of Orlando. This is the best way to drive I-95. And remember, you can pack your car as if it were your suitcase.

Half the fun is getting there. Doesn't everyone look forward to a family vacation every summer and a wonderful holiday with bright decorative lights reflected in wrapping paper and bows?

Buy early and save money. The more money one saves, the more to spend on vacations and holidays. Being in the Middle Class is fun. "Goals to achieve, not greed."

Moral lives laced with achievement, love, family and gratification. Work is moral. When it benefits a family, binds them together and prevents in the best way possible additions and abuses of children and young people. The Middle Class is a moral socioeconomic group that builds better lives. It is a good thing. The Middle Class should be growing, not shrinking.

Stop working for dirt cheap wages, the teachers in Oklahoma did! Those teachers are going to now build a better economy and stronger families. They will have better teaching resources and will provide education to children and young people that their families will embrace. I WANT IT ALL BACK!

It is ridiculous, especially, with the Super Jumbos. They carry more weight, have larger "air exposure" for lift and flight and sustain greater stress. I think there needs to be a real acknowledgment that cheap airfares can be very dangerous for real reasons.

I have always held that opinion.

...Southwest flight 1380, (click here) a Boeing 737-700, was flying from New York’s LaGuardia airport to Dallas Love Field when the incident occurred at approximately 11:15 a.m. ET. According to the airline, the plane was carrying 143 passengers and five crew members. Although an investigation is underway, passengers reported an explosion of the left (number one) engine, shattering glass and sucking a passenger through a broken window. Witnesses also reported that passengers and crew attempted to save the victim and cover the hole, according to CNN.

“We could feel the air from the outside coming in, and then we had smoke kind of coming in the window. Meanwhile, you have passengers that were in that aisle, trying to attend to the woman that was bleeding from the window explosion,” Marty Martinez, a passenger on the flight, told CNN. “That was just chaos all around.”...
