Ronald Utt from the Heritage Foundation had an interesting idea. The government could buy 5 billion dollars worth of tickets to be used by employees of the government when they travel. The airlines would get their infusion of cash without receiving any corporate welfare.

Michael, I just got home from a weekend with my husband's family. We flew there. It was a nerve-wracking proposition to fly just ten days after the attack, but there were bomb-sniffing dogs as we parked in the airport parking lot, very tight security checks at check-in, and both an Air Marshal and armed FBI agent on the flights. This country needs airlines, needs to be able to go about our business, visit our friends and families, travel to the funerals of almost 7000 people. Your repeated personalizing about the airlines and targeting of Rambi, whose family is shaken and mourning, while you do this is ii really bad taste. Really bad taste. I'd appreciate it if you'd remember that all Americans are suffering, and lay off.

Come on, Michael. She just works for American. She's not responsible for everything the company does. Do you want to be held responsible for everything YOUR employer does?

I hadn't seen this one of yours to Rambi. Nice move yesterday; telling the congress you were dropping the web-only fares on your site. Oops, you just moved them over to Orbitz. Damn clever... Something is going on. You're like an obsessed person. You mention travel and your business. Are you a travel agent? The above sounds like a disgruntled travel agent talking, and I know they have been very disgruntled since they became supernumerary. Hope you get enough to keep bambam (whoever) and the rest of your brood in decent private schools. You are being mean and inappropriate.
