Continental plane slides off runway in Denver, catches fire {Gadling}
Dec 21st 2008 4:41PM Hey Jeffrey, thanks for the report on the plane crash in Denver but could you please post a picture of the correct type of aircraft...the picture is not of a Boeing 737 but of a MD-80 from a Houston incident. I don't mean to split hairs but as a blogger your not tied up by editors that want you to rush the story to get it out like the big news services do. This is exactly what they do all the time when reporting an accident involving an airplane. They show a picture of anything but reference something else and that is confusing to folks who follow these things and it is very frustrating. Small note on the picture....I worked for Continental and I worked this incident so it's very familiar to me. Keep up the blogging otherwise!!!

Galley Gossip: The second best thing about being a flight attendant - Waikiki, Hawaii {Gadling}
Oct 26th 2008 3:48PM I was a flight attendant for CO for 10 years and I always liked the fact that I could jump on a plane from Denver and go get a good haircut in NYC or do lunch in BOS from EWR at Legal Seafood. MIA was great too for Cuban sandwiches or a quick jaunt to MSY (New Orleans) for some good old fashioned cajun cuisine! For crew members if they still have it, the employee cafeteria is some great food in MSY and you don't pay the high airport prices or even have to leave the airport!
I miss the good life...I hate being a 9-5er and working for a living!!!
Galley Gossip: A question about traveling with car seats and strollers {Gadling}
Oct 26th 2008 1:48PM Expensive stroller!!! Give me a break...too many parents (I use that term loosely) only get the fancy strollers to impress other parents! Wheels, seat and the airlines are going to be handling this item for you!!! did you remember your last suitcase??? I have been a baggage handler, flight attendant and csr to name a few of my many hats of trade and if you want to be smart about it, keep things cheap and simple! Save the fancy stroller for the trip in the park near your home! It's expensive and if it get damaged the odds are not in your favor it will get fixed or replaced! Think ahead mom when it comes to toys and stuff to amuse your child...the cups are not going to cut it and you know it! Minutes do count and if you have many to count make them worth every one!
