Re: United Airlines FTL
United may indeed suck, but their in-flight air traffic control "radio station" is unbelievably cool for flight enthusiasts.
Agree that JetBlue is the best domestic carrier. They really got a bad rap for that stuck on the runway incident. Unfortunate, but the airlines can not screw around with the weather. When talking about putting lives at risk, even an overnight delay (read: debacle) beats the alternatives. This holds true for delays caused by mandated crew rest periods as well. If they can't get a crew together, that's very likely the reason. Tired pilots are no gouda.
