This was a clean call, better safe then sorry. The group ran in all together into the aircraft very late and were handing over several times labtops and cell phones. After the cabin crew requested several times during the flight to sit down, on which nobody responded, 4 air marshalls came into actio...

Delta is saving a lot of fuel since they only use one engine during taxiing to and from the runway.
It's simple, smart and with a huge fleet as Delta has it really makes a difference.

Maakt me weinig uit als het maar Nederlands blijft en er geen tarieven omhoog geschroeft gaan worden.
We moeten wel de zorgen dat Schiphol aantrekkelijk blijft voor de concurrerende maatschappijen, heeft de consument ook wat aan.

This is a beautiful way to compensate the high fuel prices and mention every day in every possible media form that your company is not adding a fuel tax.
