They stole it from those of us who were stuck with NWA as our only option in the US. We have called it that for at least 30 years, if not more.
And... we never laughed about it...

| JAL isn't any better. Nor is ANA. I only remember one or two flights on NW. They were OK, unremarkable, as were all my Delta flights, the latter often with very friendly service to the packed steerage masses. I find them better than Lufthansa, while Air France was good only for racking up my Sky Team miles. I'll mention one other thing--booking award trips on Star Alliance through United and Sky Team through AF have been effortless. One big difference is I'm paying $500 in European taxes on Sky Team, while only $100 or so through United, for the same trip (Dubai - Houston - Dubai via Europe) |

ARAMCO = the pockets of the princes!! Thus no need for me to mention them.
And there is a website this morning that is reporting that King Abdullah has died in the US, but it is being kept a secret. Ah... the land of rumors...

And now for today's breaking news:
There are unconfirmed reports that much of the news from the Middle east and elsewhere is no more than rumours. We will revert to our viewers with further speculation when the latest conjecture becomes available. |
