...waiting to hear if the government will guarantee a $1.6 billion loan. Delta and its pilots' union are headed for a dustup that could roil the company's future. At American, losses for the first three months this year were lower: $166 million vs. $1 billion last year. But jet fuel prices are up more than 40% in the past year, and every penny of increase costs American $30 million annually. Arpey is acutely aware that his airline still faces a bumpy ride. Sitting on his desk is a purple papier-mache dinosaur his 6-year-old daughter gave...
...Frontier 1962 as about the distant future. Its ditzy slapstick is like the peanut-butter-and-jelly mix Goober Grape--if you didn't love it as a kid, you're not going to acquire the taste as an adult--and the pop-culture gags (like rock star Jet Screamer and his hit Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah) have not aged well.

For Lilly followers, such an occasion is almost reason enough to charter a private jet to Florida for some Lilly-inspired Key Lime Mojitos and Mango coconut coladas with ginger...
Though I don’t see myself jet-setting to Palm Beach, restyling my gastro-intestinal patterns to the taste of jalapeno bloody marys or “counting myself among the horsey set,” I might just invest in a Lilly Pulitzer accessory one of these days. After all, if a 71 year-old fashion and society maven like Lilly says it’s fun to bring out one’s inner pinkalicious-flowery-surfer-diva, who am I to disagree...
