☆ Airbus' new plane is the answer to an aging, inefficient Boeing jet that airlines are scrambling to replace
  + stars: | 2024-11-01 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Some airlines have bought Airbus' new extra-long-haul A321XLR to replace their aging Boeing 757s. That's about 800 miles further than its predecessor and at least 880 miles further than its closest competitor: the aging, out-of-production Boeing 757. Carriers like United Airlines and Icelandair are lining up for the new jet, putting in more than 550 orders so far. Continental Airlines, now United Airlines, switched its 757-300 order to the newer 737-800 in 2003, for example. Icelandair will also replace its 757 fleet with the A321XLR, abandoning the largely all-Boeing fleet it has operated for decades.

There were no women flying, there were no female airline pilots. A historic moment, kept secretRippelmeyer and Captain Emilie Jones before a flight with Air Illinois, where they became the first all-female crew of a scheduled flight in the United States. So that’s what we did.”It was December 30, 1977, and that was the first scheduled flight in the United States with an all-female crew – but it was kept a secret.

☆ Whatever happened to airline food? /// Why the golden age of airplane food disappeared /// Why you don’t get served full meals on flights anymore

New York CNN —If you took an American Airlines flight in the 1960s, you’d be wined and dined from the Coach-class “Royal Coachman” menu. “Meal service was once a point of pride,” said Henry Harteveldt, who covers the travel industry for Atmosphere Research Group. Meal service was a big focus of [competition] because entertainment options were more limited,” Harteveldt said. The September 11 attacks accelerated the decline of free airline meals. Airline meals had been the brunt of jokes and criticism for decades, but now people miss them.

Scott Olson | Getty ImagesRepublican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy built his White House bid around urging companies to stay out of politics. The messages show Ramaswamy's firm actively engaged with GOP state leaders who have defended the fossil fuel industry and criticized environmentally conscious investment standards. Ramaswamy on Thursday defended the firm's engagement with GOP officials, saying bigger firms BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street have conducted similar practices with state officials across the country.
