Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before changes can be made. This happened for United Airlines on April 9, 2017, after passenger David Dao was involuntarily dragged from flight 3411.
Mr. Dao was randomly selected as 1 of 4 passengers to exit the full flight in order to make room for United Airline’s staff. When Mr. Dao refused to comply, Chicago Department of Aviation law enforcement officers forcefully removed him, resulting in a broken nose, 2 lost teeth, and a concussion.
In recent United Airlines news, the company released a list of 10 new policies that will address speculation over how the Dao situation was handled and over flight safety and procedures. Some changes will go into effect immediately, while others will be introduced throughout the course of the year.

Climate change is a hot topic.
While some people might have qualms with the popular claims about climate change, many governments have jumped on board with trying to stem the tide.
While only 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions result from the transportation industry. The aviation industry has decided to take action.
Long layovers are the bane of a traveler’s existence.
You’re often stuck at the airport. The layover is short enough that you don’t have time to explore or you don’t want the hassle of going back through security.
Couple this with the expensive food, WiFi, and uncomfortable seating.
You’d imagine these airports would accommodate for layovers. Maybe offer something different to keep travelers entertained.
Well… there are some airports changing what it means for the layover.
Airport tours are becoming a thing.
Some people think change is good.
And, sometimes it is.
But when you’ve got something right, don’t change it. Keep doing what you’re doing.
It’s the same way with aviation.
You perfect your technology until its perfect. Then you don’t change a thing. You leave it as is.
If you change anything, you might run sometime.
