Tweet Picks:
@hharteveldt @AlaskaAir will block middle seats through July 30, will “cap” loads using “different measures” after that, says #airline’s CEO. Fares would have to increase to leave middle seats empty forever. Alaska will continue to evaluate blocked middle seats going fwd. #travel #paxex.
@hharteveldt “Our sense of the future is that everything is #mobile,” says @AlaskaAir CEO. I agree, and would include wearables within this. We are already #mobilecentric and will only become more so. #airline #technology.
@hharteveldt .@united selectively upgaguing 40-50 flights a day domestically when/where demand increases. In some cases it is operating 777-200s, one of its largest aircraft, on some domestic routes. #airline #travel.
@hharteveldt “When a [#COVID19] vaccine comes, the masks can come off,” says @AlaskaAir CEO Brad Tilden. ”Showing courtesy to other people now means wearing a mask.” Yup. #airline #travel #MaskUp.
@RunwayGirl An important side-story from 747 history is how opposition to a 1984 plan by Boeing to decrease the number of emergency exits on the aircraft led to an important worldwide safety standard for all airplanes that is known as the “60-foot rule.
