Why is it that idiot reporters use the term "TARMAC"? Nobody in the aviation
world uses that term do they? But then again reporters usually know abolutely
nothing about aviation. What inspired this rant? The recent reporting on the
US Airways baggage situation and the Northwest airlines flight that kept the
passengers on the airplane for 14 hours. On another note did Northwest lose a
lawsuit awhile back for keeping people on an airplane while they sat on the
ground for a very long time. If I remember correctly there was talk of false
imprisonment charges against the airline.
