Starting today, I’m on vacation. Actually by the time this gets posted, I’ll already be wandering around Peru. While I’m there, I won’t be writing a thing, but through the magic of the internet, you’ll still see a post here every day while I’m gone. Ok, maybe that’s not magic. I just wrote a bunch of posts beforehand, and the editors here at BNET will be posting one per day until I return in the middle of next week.
Of course, this is a little problematic. For all I know, there could be some huge story in the industry right now. Did Southwest buy Qantas? Maybe JFK has decided to expand and merge with LaGuardia. Could UAL chairman Glenn Tilton actually have said something intelligible? While most of these are unlikely, it’s entirely possible that something interesting is going on, so I’d recommend you take a look at a couple of my favorite blogs to stay current while I’m away.
- Evan Sparks’s Aviation Policy Blog - I’d say there’s a good chance that if news breaks this week, it’ll be regulatory considering the recent merger hearings. Evan Sparks does a good job of covering the goings-on in Washington, so go take a look.
- PlaneBuzz - Holly Hegeman has been writing about this industry from a financial perspective for a long, long time. If you don’t subscribe to her weekly PlaneBusiness Banter, I’d highly recommend it. But at the very least you can find out about the big things going on in the industry on her blog.
- Towers and Tarmacs - My friend Benet Wilson writes this blog for Aviation Week, one of the best known aviation trade publishers. If any news comes out about airports, you’ll find it in here.
Hopefully those three can hold you over. I’ll do my best to respond to any comments when I return, and I will of course, return to covering more timely issues then as well.
