Holly Hegeman Speaks to American Employees About the Airline’s Dark Days

The latest American Airlines employee podcast interviews Holly Hegeman. She talks about how she got involved covering the airline industry, doing consulting for Bob Crandall and doing the airline's annual report with him.

Sheraton Frankfurt Will No Longer Let Platinums Use Their Lounge Without a Reservation

They were more than generous, perhaps too generous, and out of step with much of the world. So this doesn't surprise in the least. I just miss the idea that a valued customer is a valued customer each and every time and it seems a last little thread of that dies when this dies.

Emirates and Etihad About to Settle Open Skies Dispute

This ultimately amounts to three years of vitriol for nothing. It lets the US airlines claim they got something (of little value) while allowing the targeted Gulf carriers to go on about their business.
