Here's an interesting story from Bloomberg about how a once weekly United flight between Newark and Columbia may have been operated exclusively for the Chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Via Bloomberg:

And We’re Back (With New Blog Features)!

Thanks for your patience yesterday. As I explained, the blog was undergoing some scheduled maintenance in the evening, which went smoothly this time around. While the blog should have still been visible as usual, comments were disabled for a couple of hours.

The updates weren't nearly as big as the blog redesign from last summer, but some minor (hopefully positive) changes have been made!

So, what’s new?
