Mile high club has new hero

Apr 6th, 2009 at 11:00AM: We've all been there - battling with your seatmate for that 2 inch wide piece of plastic that separates you. I have no idea what airline seat designers were thinking when they decided to design the armrest the way it is, but it sucks. Of course, the current armrest was designed years ago, and part of the design consideration was that it could hold an ashtray, something that nobody has needed on an ...Cathay Pacific Freezes Recruiting Because of Low Demand

Nov 3rd, 2007 at 7:41AM: I just knew it would make me upset, but nonetheless, I couldn't resist checking out a USA Today article entitled, Best First Class Meals. And, as I suspected, I'm going to glare at the soggy $7 coach sandwich with even more disdain the next time I fly. That's because those jerks up in First Class are basking in culinary Nirvana--at least on Gulf Air and Cathay Pacific. These two airlines snagged ...
