Oct 10th, 2009 at 12:00PM: A gun was fired in the cockpit and so was the pilot. In March 2008, on a flight from Denver to Charlotte, US Airways pilot Jim Langenhahn's gun discharged, an action taken by his employer shortly after. Now that his 18-month disciplinary suspension is over, he's back in training and getting ready to take to the friendly skies. The Associated Press didn't mention whether the current program ...Naked guy forces Albuquerque landing
Jul 2nd, 2009 at 12:00PM: Keith Wright, a New Yorker (damn!) felt restricted by more than just cramped airline seating today. On a flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles, he ditched his clothing and did not respond (vocally, at least) to flight attendant requests to put them back on. The mile-high nudist also wouldn't accept the cover of a blanket.
As a result of Wright's defiance, the US Airways flight was diverted to ...Chattanooga, Portsmouth among top art destinations in the U.S.

Mar 4th, 2009 at 11:00AM: It's starting to look like we'll soon need a "stupid passenger of the week" segment here on Gadling, because there certainly does not seem to be a shortage of material. The stupid passenger for today was on his way on American Airlines from Charlotte to Dallas Fort Worth when the plane was waiting for a spot at its assigned gate. Apparently this wait was a bit too long, so instead of grumbling ...An open letter to US Airways
Jan 8th, 2009 at 10:30AM: I just got back from spending a week visiting a friend in Puerto Rico. Considering I am tan, well-rested and had perfect weather, I guess it was a successful trip. But it was almost derailed from the very beginning when US Airways lost my luggage.
You see, I was forced to check my luggage because the overhead compartments were full. When I asked the US Airways representative why people in our ...Bring your car: America's 10 least walkable cities
Jul 22nd, 2008 at 5:00PM: It may come as no surprise that San Francisco ranks as America's #1 walkable city, but what about the rest of the country? After compiling a list of the "walkability" of 40 American cities, Walk Score gives us a good idea of what cities are pedestrian friendly and which ones require cars. The bottom ten cities on the list give us a few places where pedestrians are far and few between and driving ...
