Just a note to PlaneBusiness Banter subscribers. Look for this week’s issue to be posted Friday. As you can imagine, an almost completed issue that was slated for posting this afternoon now has more than a couple of pages that need to be updated and rewritten, given this morning’s news and its ramifications. I tend to believe that the most current news is probably of more importance to our subscribers than static earnings call reviews and analysis at this point in time. But oh, they’re in there as well!

So — we’re in the midst of rearranging some furniture here at the Worldwide Headquarters.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to update everyone here in PlaneBuzz during the day today with any new developments concerning airlines and the people who fly them and fly on them.
