Phased Systemwide Software: Who Needs It? Crowdstrike Protects Major Companies Worldwide from Cyberattacks
Alaska Airlines has just launched its most unexpected route yet. Forget the Milk Run or Island Hopper – this is something completely different. Flight 445, a quick 23-minute jaunt from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, has taken off.
Covering a mere 106 miles, this route hasn't been flown since United pulled out of Cleveland in 2014. With fares starting at just $108 or 10k miles, it's an opportunity to experience the thrill of a short-haul flight like never before. So why is Alaska flying between these two cities? The answer remains a mystery, but one thing's for sure: it's making travel exciting again.
Last week proved to be a tumultuous time for US airlines and the air traffic control system. Amidst widespread issues, United Airlines faced the greatest challenges, particularly in recovering from extensive cancellations and delays in NYC and beyond. Adding insult to injury, their CEO, Scott Kirby, chose to escape the chaos by taking a private jet to Denver instead of offering assistance or support to his overwhelmed staff.
This decision garnered well-deserved criticism until he finally apologized. As my family experienced firsthand while traveling to NYC for a wedding, it took an agonizing five days for everyone to finally make it home.
