Some mornings, Kaitlin Jorgenson travels 544 miles to get to a job she'll be at for 72 hours.

Moving to Charlotte, Jorgenson estimates, has saved her at least $2,000 each month — commuting expenses and all.

☆ Delta passengers exit their flight using the jet slide after the plane lands without gear extended

Passengers aboard a Delta flight had to disembark using the jet slide Wednesday after their plane landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport without part of its landing gear extended. An inflatable slide extends from a door of the plane and firefighters appear to be helping passengers disembark on the slide. "While this is a rare occurrence, Delta flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries." Controllers saw that the nose landing gear doors were open, but the gear hadn't descended and the pilots landed the plane without the nose gear. Less than four hours after the landing, Skotarczak, the passenger from Buffalo, was at work, but only with his cellphone and a bottle of water.
