We just cannot make this stuff up. A Northwest Airlines flight attendant set an airplane bathroom on fire. Eder H. Rojas was arrested in Minneapolis and charged in federal court for setting the Compass Airlines, a subsidiary of NWA, paper towels on fire in the lavatory because he was upset that he had to fly the Minneapolis to Regina, Saskatchewan route. Boo-hoo.

Ever dream you could fly when you were a kid? You used to put your arms straight out on both sides of your body and would make silly flying noises while looking down and pretending everything was under you. Well one boy has grown up and is now a man with wings that can fly. Watch as Yves Rossy, Swiss man with jet wings flies over the Swiss Alps.

No, JetBlue Airways is not piloting a new way for consumers to save money while flying by introducing the JetBlue Poopy Seats. A man is forced to sit in a bathroom on a JetBlue plane because an off-duty flight attendant was too uncomfortable in the employee “jump seat”.

If only “Seinfeld” was still around to make this sitcom episode. You have probably read or heard about the possibility of cell phones while in-flight, or even thought about it for a fleeting moment. Then reality hits and you say to yourself, just like an anonymous US Airways flight attendent we spoke to, “Mobile phone calls on airplanes calls for a punch in the face”.
