Airline Bankruptcy Signs


My wife usually travels to Florida twice a year, to help her mother on their annual "snowbird" migrations. This last time, she stayed for nearly a week and had to check a bag. Which cost money.

SIGNS YOUR AIRLINE MAY BE GOING BANKRUPT

In-flight movie is black-and-white 8mm footage of the pilot at age 4.

First class seats are filled with UPS packages.
