Comair fined $275,000

Violating regulations on bumping passengers from overbooked flights has landed Delta’s subsidiary Comair a $275,000 fine from the Department of Transportation.

Federal rules require that overbooked flights seek volunteers to give up their seats for compensation, and if no volunteers are found, a written statement must be provided, along with financial compensation.

Comair filed inaccurate reports regarding how many passengers were denied boarding.

No Kamakaze at LAX

When Skye E. Turner (Is this his REAL name?? how ironic), a 23 year old with an expired student license, had a fight with his girlfriend, he went to Coast Flight Training and Management, in Montgomery Field in San Diego County, and took a Cirrus SR22. He intended to fly it into the ocean; but he thought better of it (Good thinking Skye!) and asked for permission to land at LAX. He came in to fast on his first pass, but made a second pass and landed safely at 2:30 a.m., where he was taken into custody. Since then, he’s undergone some psychological evaluation and has been arrested for theft of a plane.

I hate to be obvious about conclusions, but suicide is never the way. Neither is theft. It compounds the problem. At least Turner landed safely.
