...personality of the Ted brand remains obscure, though its launch is just weeks away. United claims Ted will offer not only the audio-video luxuries but also more legroom in the first six rows of the all-coach cabin as well as complimentary Starbucks coffee. The airline says it's striving for something different. But when Sean Donahue, chief of Ted, says, "We want people to feel welcome and relaxed," he raises the question of why passengers don't feel that in United's "Friendly Skies...
Luckily, the entire movie isn’t given over to the finer points of seafaring. The most enjoyable moments are the quietest, particularly the scenes in which Aubrey and Maturin play classical music together in the Captain’s cabin. After scenes of wartime devastation, these scenes are beautiful. Scenes like these are often just a device, intended to demonstrate the hero’s more complex nature: he is more than a brute, the screenwriters hope to demonstrate. In this case, however, Crowe handles these scenes skillfully enough that they don’t seem contrived; Aubrey...
...remember the last time a candidate for President opened an advertising blitz by touting a position he has taken that is highly unpopular within his party. Usually it's a gauzy bio spot--Joe Lieberman was born in a log cabin in Stamford, Conn.--or crisp advocacy of an apple-pie issue like education.

...plane hadn't even come close to leveling off before people were out of their seats taking pictures, chatting with friends--old ones and those just minutes old. The cramped cabin and the common purpose pulled people together. If you didn't know your seatmate when you got on, you did by the time we hit 10,000 feet. The big distinction: Nobody was there because they had to be - no road warriors, no disgruntled passengers. The mood - remember this is onboard an airplane - was festive and lighthearted and even joyful. Some people couldn't believe they'd made...
...flight attendants attempted to hand out drinks to the 100 passengers (it's less than a four-hour flight you know) and put down the linen tray cloths, but it was quickly turning into a rugby scrum in the aisles. The cabin crew held up remarkably well - dealing with hundreds of requests to pose or get out of the way as the 'Machmeter' on the bulkhead slipped past Mach 1 and headed for our final destination of Mach 2 and 56,000 feet. The attendants discreetly looked the other way as passengers looted the plane, taking everything from menus...
