26 November 2019 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

No, you’re not going to see a new 747-based airline crisscrossing the USA anytime soon. The Avatar Airlines dream is not new. And, despite a recent FAA application, it likely will not take flight. But it makes for some entertaining reading.

What to expect on board as United’s new CRJ550 takes flight

27 October 2019 By Seth Miller 1 Comment
