The biggest unknown right now is how FERC 2222 is going to play out. It essentially allows consumer solar to be aggregated and sold on the wholesale markets. As aggregators come online and prices fluctuate there are going to be even more re

I don’t love everything about the new LaGuardia but it’s the way airport designs are going. A lot of it is done to prevent overcrowding at gates and around the terminal. It takes you longer to get from your car to the plane because the airp

To be fair, Teams brings my Windows machine to a screeching halt as well. Macs aren't alone in the crappy Teams experience.

I appreciate the candor. It's hard to hear but I do really value the honesty. I don't present the "first sale made" stuff in my resume but it has come up in a few interviews. My thought was that because this is a niche s

One interesting tidbit that I forgot about... Heathrow is heavily slot controlled. The options the airport is giving airlines is: 1) Cancel flights 2) Operate with lower loads on the existing flights #1 is the best option as it reduces the

Glad it was smooth for you. Are they still doing the line down the outside of the terminal to check people in or have the reduction in flights kept that from being needed?

Interesting, my trip through there a few weeks ago was smooth and the crowds were minimal (US to Europe connecting in FRA).

Parts of what I do are quantifiable and I've highlighted that (deals won, etc) but lately we've been struggling due to the quality of the product and strides being made in the industry. Definitely not an excuse but it's made

It's a mess out there. Barcelona/Frankfurt/Munich are still solid options for connections into Europe but Amsterdam/Dublin/London/Paris are not great. A friend of mine had to fight to get his bag in Dublin. His

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, this is where I figured I am falling short. It's due to the way our organization is currently structured and me being in charge of one of our products while also leading BD for some of our existing IP. Let m

A few things that seem a little off from the accounts: 1) A flight attendant wouldn’t be the one to make the announcement. It would be the gate agent. 2) The Apple Pay part of the announcement is really weird. Airlines typically don’t hand

Alaska isn't the only one facing a pilot shortage and an increase in schedules. JetBlue, Southwest, and all of the regional carriers are all underwater when it comes to having a pilot deficit when compared to their schedules. Delta, Am

It's because they literally gave no reply at first when asked if the pilot picketing had anything to do with the operational issues. A week later they finally put out this press release and had to come clean.

With Covid restrictions still in place all over the world, the biggest impact is cargo. There have been some exceptions made for some cargo flights to overfly certain airspace but I think overall we have yet to see the real impact on cargo

I'd agree with you. Most of the other major US carriers is just a crappy web view shoved into an app. AA's comes to mind as possibly the worst airline app out there.

Exactly. Contact United and if they push back, contact the DOT. There's a process for how this kind of stuff gets handled. UA's team has access to exactly when the door closed and if it was greater than 15 minutes before the sched

I would love to actually implement something like this that gives a very clear picture of when the weather is best (using last 5/10/15 years) for travel. Things like humidity and UV index matter but I have yet to find a historical
