And lots has happened!
A British Airways Boeing 777 safely crash-landed at Heathrow after losing all of its electronics on short final. (NY Times)
Delta has embarked upon merger talks with both United and Northwest (separate talks - not a three-way merger). (NY Times)
and probably other things too - but those are the top two!
The top story will be the most interesting - something like this has never happened to a fly-by-wire aircraft like the 777 before. Luckily in this situation, everyone survived, including both pilots and the black box, so it's very likely the British and American investigators will figure out what happened at some point in the hopefully-near future.
The second story is probably the most important, in terms of airline economics. In one of my former newspaper columns, I wrote enthusiastically about airline mergers, but right now I am skeptical.
Maybe I'll even tell you why some day.
In closing, go patriots!
