Just a word on a Monday morning to thank all of you who have begun the incredible discourse on air travel. On Friday night, I was delayed on my flight from Kennedy to SFO because there were simply too many darn planes who wanted to take off from Kennedy. Thank Goodness for the American Airlines captain, whoever he was, because it’s my guess he was simply so ill-tempered with the flight tower that we went from absolutely screwed to fourth in line in about six seconds. Dude! You rule.

The stories of injustice and indignity have been pouring in. Look at the comments offered to my prior blog entry. They’re just fantastic.

I want to publish them all, and not just as comments, either, but as an ongoing and interactive international blog. This takes some technological doing, so we’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, keep writing. I have no doubt that there are a million stories out there waiting to be told.

Tell me.
