Comments (8)I know from experience that airlines make exceptions for their "important" (read: wealthy frequent flyer) customers. A friend of mine had luggage badly damaged (looked like it was slashed through with a box cutter), which include ruining several Italian suits, a tuxedo, etc. Many thousands in damage. They compensated him for every penny after they received a letter documenting what happened. Musicians are known to book a seat for their instruments. But I don't imagine that is something an average musician can afford to do....See MoreSenior Discounts
Comments (7)This list was posted maybe a month ago here. It has many, many, many inaccuracies and some of these businesses no longer exist.I've seen it posted on Facebook, too. In fact, it seems whenever an article says to pass it around or something like that, it's not very accurate. This is not meant to fault YOU, joann....I know you are trying to help others get a discount. It's just that the information is untrue. (Wouldn't it be nice if Alaska Airlines gave a 50% discount?)...See MoreOutsourcing made me feel racist
Comments (26)I'm on the Canadian west coast and was calling a 1-800 number (can't remember what it was for) and the call center was in the southern U.S. and oh, my... you could cut her accent with a knife. I struggled through with her accent and she struggled through with mine. I just hope that when you asked to speak to someone "in America" that it was done in a pleasant and polite voice rather than a frustrating and demeaning voice. You don't have to be racist to be demeaning....See MoreSocial Responsibility???
Comments (65)Interesting that airlines have NO responsibility to let passengers know if a COVID case was suspected. Totally up to the CDC to contact trace. Good luck on that, I suspect. The sad thing is that imagine if you are having a cardiac infarction (heart attack) and fall to the ground. I would imagine many people these days might hesitate to assist. ===== Passenger Who Had Medical Emergency on Flight Died of Covid-19, Coroner Says The episode in Louisiana raised concerns about the risks travelers face, even with heightened safety precautions in place. NY Times 22Dec2020 ((excerpted) A coroner in Louisiana confirmed on Tuesday what some had feared: that the death last week of a 69-year-old man who experienced a medical emergency aboard a United Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles had been caused by Covid-19. The coroner’s office in Jefferson Parish identified the passenger as Isais Hernandez, 69, of Los Angeles, who was on United Flight 591 when it took off from Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 14. While in the air, Mr. Hernandez experienced a medical emergency; several passengers and flight attendants administered aid to him as the flight was diverted to New Orleans. When the flight landed, Mr. Hernandez was taken to Ochsner Medical Center-Kenner, where he died just after 9 p.m., according to the coroner’s report, which said the cause of death was “acute respiratory failure, Covid-19.” On Tuesday night, two people who said they had been on the flight and had rendered aid to Mr. Hernandez said they had not been contacted by health officials. Jacquelyn Tran and her boyfriend, Steven Chang, both 29, of Orange County, Calif., said in interviews that they had been sitting across the aisle and one row behind Mr. Hernandez during the flight. Ms. Tran said she had seen Mr. Hernandez “trying to get out of his seat” about 20 minutes after takeoff and asked a flight attendant to check on him. Eventually, several passengers and flight attendants rendered aid to Mr. Hernandez for the duration of the flight, the couple said. They included Mr. Chang, a medical student; Ms. Tran, an administrative assistant at a cancer center; a nurse who was seated in the back of the plane; an emergency medical technician who was seated toward the front of the plane; and several flight attendants. Ms. Tran administered epinephrine, which can reduce swelling in the airway and increase blood flow in the veins, and also helped give Mr. Hernandez fluids, she said. Mr. Chang and the nurse provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation to Mr. Hernandez, the couple said....See Morebeaglesdoitbetter
