American Airlines recently unveiled a new logo and exterior for its planes, including their new Flagship Boeing 777-300ER air-craft set to fly Jan. 31. American said they plan to continue taking delivery of new planes this year as part of their orders for 550 new aircraft.

“Since placing our landmark aircraft order in July of 2011, we’ve been building anticipation toward a moment in time when the out-side of our aircraft reflects the progress we’ve made to modernize our airline on the inside,” said Tom Horton, American’s Chairman and CEO. “While we complete the evaluation of whether a merger can build on American’s strengths,

we remain steadfast in each step we take to renew our airline, a step we take with great respect for our name American. Today marks im-portant progress in that journey as we unveil a new and updated look for the first time in more than 40 years.”

Since American is preparing to take delivery of hundreds of new, lighter aircraft featuring composite materials that must be painted, the polished metal look was no longer an option. Silver mica paint was chosen as a way to maintain the silver heritage which American’s people and customers said they wanted to keep.

AFA represents nearly 3,000 Flight Attendants at Alaska Airlines.

“The Flight Attendants onboard

flight 819 demonstrated profes-sionalism and composure despite irregular events.

These two qualities are vital for Flight Attenwdants who are the first responders for in-flight emer-gencies of all kinds. These AFA Flight Attendants took immediate action and performed their role flawlessly.

Through preparedness and vigi-

lance, the Flight Attendants helped to ensure that all passengers on-board flight 819 arrived safely and without disruption. We applaud our colleagues for their teamwork and for providing a shining example of the role of Flight Attendants as the last line of defense,” said Jeffrey Peterson, AFA President at Alaska Airlines.

As a result of an in-flight, Boe-ing 787 battery incident Jan. 16 in Japan, the FAA issued an emergen-cy airworthiness directive (AD) to address a potential battery fire risk in the 787 and require operators to temporarily cease operations. Before further flight, operators of U.S.-registered, Boeing 787 aircraft must demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the batteries are safe.

The FAA will work with the manufacturer and carriers to develop a corrective action plan to allow the U.S. 787 fleet to resume operations as quickly and safely as possible.

The in-flight Japanese battery incident followed an earlier 787 battery incident that occurred on the ground in Boston on Jan. 7, 2013. The AD is prompted by this second incident involving a lithium ion battery. The battery failures re-sulted in release of flammable elec-trolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two Model 787 airplanes. The

root cause of these failures is cur-rently under investigation. These conditions, if not corrected, could result in damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for fire in the electrical compartment.

Last Friday, the FAA announced a comprehensive review of the 787’s critical systems with the possibil-ity of further action pending new data and information. In addition to the continuing review of the air-craft’s design, manufacture and as-sembly, the agency also will validate that 787 batteries and the battery system on the aircraft are in com-pliance with the special condition the agency issued as part of the air-craft’s certification.

United Airlines is currently the only U.S. airline operating the 787, with six airplanes in service. When the FAA issues an airworthiness directive, it also alerts the interna-tional aviation community to the action so other civil aviation au-thorities can take parallel action to

cover the fleets operating in their own countries.

Source: Federal Aviation Administration

Boeing Chairman, President and CEO Jim McNerney issued the following statement Jan. 16 after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an emergency airworthiness directive that requires U.S. 787 operators to temporarily cease operations and recommends other regulatory agencies to follow suit:

“The safety of passengers and crew members who fly aboard Boe-

ing airplanes is our highest priority.“Boeing is committed to sup-

porting the FAA and finding an-swers as quickly as possible. The company is working around the clock with its customers and the various regulatory and investigative authorities.

“We will make available the en-tire resources of The Boeing Com-pany to assist.

“We are confident the 787 is safe

and we stand behind its overall in-tegrity. We will be taking every nec-essary step in the coming days to assure our customers and the trav-eling public of the 787’s safety and to return the airplanes to service.

“Boeing deeply regrets the im-pact that recent events have had on the operating schedules of our cus-tomers and the inconvenience to them and their passengers.”

TSA week IN ReVIew

26 loaded firearms discovered in carry-on bags this week

Guns found this week at various airports.

Stun Guns – Seven stun guns were discovered this week in car-ry-on bags around the nation: Akron-Canton (CAK), Denver (DEN), Detroit (DTW), Fort My-ers (RSW), Salt Lake City (SLC), San Juan (SJU), Washington Dulles (IAD)

What Not to Say at an Airport – Statements like these not only delay the people who said them but can also inconvenience many other pas-sengers if the checkpoint or termi-nal has to be evacuated:

A gate agent at Charlotte (CLT) asked a passenger what he was car-rying in a box. The passenger re-plied: “I have a bomb.”

Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) In-ternational Airport has launched its official mobile app for smartphones, giving customers the latest infor-mation and updates about flights, parking, shops, restaurants and air-port services at their fingertips. The DFW Airport mobile app, which was developed with a considerable amount of feedback from DFW customers, is now available as a free download at the iTunes App Store, Google’s Android Play Store and BlackBerry App World.

“The DFW Airport mobile app represents a breakthrough in the way our customers can navigate DFW Airport,” said Jeff Fegan, chief executive officer of DFW. “This is the first airport app that notifies DFW travelers about gate changes through a push notifica-tion, and it can also help you deter-mine parking availability or find a bite to eat in one easy solution.”

The mobile app’s push notifica-tion feature is a first for airport-developed apps, notifying passen-gers who request information about changes to flight details.

The new app contains a wide variety of customer-requested fea-tures including:

• Flight information and track-ing

• Flight and gate updates with alert “push” notifications

• Parking availability, locations and rates

• Restaurant and shopping loca-tions

• “Within five minutes of my gate” feature highlighting restau-rants and shopping options located nearest your gate

“The DFW Airport mobile app has everything a passenger needs to make a trip through DFW faster and more efficient,” said Ken Bu-chanan, executive vice president

for revenue management. “And for those road warriors who need to maximize their time, the “Within five minutes of my gate” feature lets you know about the shops and res-taurants that are closest to you.”

More than 100 local and con-necting DFW passengers served as volunteer beta testers for the mobile app over a period of two months last fall, and their feedback is incorporated into the release.

“We listened to what our cus-tomers had to say about the types of functionality they want in an airport-based mobile app, and our beta testers’ contributions were in-valuable,” said Sharon McCloskey, vice president for marketing ser-vices at DFW. “With 85 percent of DFW travelers now using smart-phones, features like up-to-date parking availability will not only be innovative but really helpful for customers.”

The application’s launch page features quick links to Flights, Parking Availability, Parking Op-tions, Shops, Restaurants, Services, Airport Guide, Airline Guide and a Feedback button.

The DFW Airport mobile app is currently available for the Apple iOS platform, the Google Android platform and the BlackBerry plat-form.

n Public IntoxicationDecember 24, 12:42 a.m.

Officers were dispatched to Terminal E, Gate 27 Satellite Building in reference to two intoxi-cated passengers. Upon arrival officers found a male and a female lying on the floor next to each other. The female was vomiting and looked as if she was not breathing, so DFW EMS was called to the scene. The male was laying in vomit next to the woman.

The man said she had “two drinks” and he had “three or four.” The man continued to roll around in vomit hugging the woman who be-gan to vomit a second time. DFW EMS arrived on scene, and the pair were separated. The man said they got lost and had been looking for the correct gate since 8:30 last night. He was very unsteady on his feet and slurred his words. He

was arrested for Public Intoxication. The woman said she did not have any medi-

cal condition and refused to be transported to a hospital. She was unable to stand up on her own, so EMS paramedics helped her to stand. She appeared to be swaying from side to side, slurred her words, and appeared to be disorient-ed when asked questions. She was unable to say how many drinks she had. She was arrested for public intoxication. At the station, she refused to sign anything and had to be physically escorted into the celln Interference with Public Duties December 25, 7:35 a.m.

At Terminal E, Gate 26, officers assisted in dealing with irate passengers. An airline com-pany had cancelled a flight to Mexico and was in the process of rebooking passengers and mak-

ing lodging arrangements. The airline had told officers the passengers were upset due to no other flights being available and that the next flight to Mexico would be in five days. Numer-ous passengers said they felt the airline needed more than one Gate Agent to help them rebook their flight.

The airline manager arrived on scene and was in the process of rebooking passengers, and some of the passengers were beginning to crowd her around the counter. She asked them to step back, and they would not, so she asked one of the officers for help. He asked the pas-sengers to step back, and everybody except one person complied. That passenger said she was not going to move. She continued to argue with the officer and refused to move. She was placed under arrest for Interference with Public Duties.

2012FAVORITE!

ics Tournament provided a compet-itive platform where students ages 9-14 applied teamwork and their classroom knowledge of science and technology to complete a proj-ect challenge missions using robots individually programmed and built by each team out of LEGO®s.

Developed by For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST), a nonprofit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young peo-ple’s interest and participation in science and technology — FIRST LEGO® League teaches real-world problem solving through engineer-ing design and teamwork. In 2008, the Perot Museum became the af-filiate and operational partner for the North Texas Region, and coor-dinates and oversees all FLL events for the North Texas area, including the Championship Robotics Tour-nament.

“The Perot Museum’s mission is to inspire minds through nature and science,” said Steve Hinkley, vice president of programs, Perot Museum of Nature and Science. “As a former educator, I recog-nize that children learn best when they overcome challenges through hands-on learning, project design and experimentation. FLL and the Championship Robotics Tourna-ment is a truly educational and fun experience that gives these students the opportunity to view science as a

process, rather than merely an end result.”

The Perot Museum works year-round to prepare for the Champi-onship Robotics Tournament – in addition to coordinating, oversee-ing and executing the six qualify-ing events leading up to the North Texas tournament – by providing and training 130 volunteers for the tournament, some who serve as judges and referees, assisting with team registration and overseeing and executing event logistics.

Volunteer coaches are coordi-nated by each team and consist of teachers and staff from participat-ing schools, parents whose children are involved or those involved in community groups who decided to volunteer their time to help during the entire FLL season, including the Championship Robotics Tour-nament.

Fifty-four teams of students put their critical thinking skills to the test to conquer this year’s project challenge called Senior Solutions. Participants were tasked with solv-ing a problem faced by seniors, 60 years or older. Teams selected and invited a senior to partner with them on the project, identified and researched a problem to help their senior partner and created an inno-vative solution to help seniors stay independent, engaged and con-nected.

Teams competed in the robotics portion of the event with the Senior Challenge Game, which consisted of several missions for the robot

Teams scored points based on the number of missions they com-pleted within a two-and-a-half minute round, which required par-ticipants to apply strategic thinking and planning.

The high-energy competition combined camaraderie, respect for one another and fun. Teams flaunt-ed creative T-shirtsof their own design, hats and buttons to reflect their team spirit. Families and other spectators cheered to support their

General Dynamics and Alenia Aermacchi, a Finmeccanica com-pany, announced Jan. 17 the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) to join forces and compete for the U.S. Air Force’s T-X trainer program, which will replace aging T-38 trainer jets and related training systems.

The agreement leverages Gen-eral Dynamics’ legacy of success-fully integrating and delivering large, complex systems to the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and other government customers with Alenia Aermacchi’s proven jet training air-craft and demonstrated manufac-turing capability. General Dynam-ics C4 Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, will serve as the prime contractor.

Together, the team will offer a fully integrated advanced pilot training system built around the Alenia Aermacchi T-100, a market variant of the company’s established M-346 military aircraft trainer. As the prime contractor, General Dy-namics will bring its proven expe-rience in systems integration and sub-contract management to de-liver an Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Family of Systems (FoS) consisting of aircraft, flight simu-lation devices, multi-media class-

rooms and logistics support. The T-100 Integrated Training System will incorporate any unique U.S. Air Force requirements and will be built in the United States with an emphasis on United States-made components and equipment.

Alenia Aermacchi’s M-346 is an advanced jet trainer that is cur-rently training the world’s air forces to operate fourth and fifth genera-tion air-combat aircraft. Currently in production for international cus-tomers including the Israeli, Italian and Singaporean Air Forces, the M-346 has also been selected by the United Arab Emirates as their advanced aircraft trainer.

“The combined strengths of General Dynamics and Alenia Aermacchi’s T-100 will deliver a best-in-class training system ensur-ing that the U.S. Air Force’s next generation of fighter pilots are fully prepared to defend the nation and our allies, regardless of the mis-sion,” said Jerry DeMuro , execu-tive vice president of Information Systems and Technology for Gen-eral Dynamics. “Leveraging aircraft and systems that are already proven internationally saves significant de-velopment time and cost for the Air Force and includes an unprecedent-

ed level of safety for the trainees as they train and fly.”

Giuseppe Giordo, chief execu-tive officer for Alenia Aermacchi, said, “This LOI brings together the world’s best and most efficient pilot

training system in the T-100 and a leading U.S. prime defense contrac-

tor in General Dynamics.” Source: General Dynamics

By Jess PaniszczynThe Museum of the American

Railroad proudly debuted with pomp and circumstance during the 1963 Texas State Fair and for the past 50 years it has been a staple of Fair Park in Dallas. But the times are changing. For more than a year, the massive exhibits that make up the museum have been moving northward to Frisco.

“It was a very difficult decision for us to leave Fair Park,” said Bob LaPrelle, CEO of the museum. “Our board and staff agonized over the decision for nearly a year. However, the City of Frisco made us an offer that met all of our strategic planning guidelines, and we just couldn’t re-fuse. But to leave Dallas where the museum had its own history for so many years, and to also face the ne-cessity of moving such large, massive objects was a big decision.

“The museum has one of the fin-est collections of railroad history in the country, which includes 40 pieces of rolling stock: locomotives and railcars. We also had to move two historic buildings: a circa 1900 railroad depot, and a control tower building for the rail yards. In addi-tion, there is a very large collection of smaller, three dimensional arti-

facts like lanterns, and then all the ephemeral items like time sched-ules, plans and diagrams from the railroad operations. Everything will go to Frisco. In fact the last thing to go will be the rail and track ma-terials that will be pulled up from our old site. Those will be used for future expansion.

“The train museum needs a lot more space than the acre and a half we were accorded at Fair Park. The museum will be on 15 acres in Fris-co, so it is really a great opportunity for us to expand all of our program-ming and exhibits.

“Our mission is to teach a very important aspect of American his-tory to future generations,” LaPrelle said. “You cannot separate the histo-ry of the railroad from the history of our nation. They grew together over the past 250 years. There is a great story to be told about the expan-sion across the Mississippi and then westward to California. We do that with the artifacts in our collection.

“By moving to a larger venue, we will be able to display things in a more visitor-friendly manner. We will be able to develop more edu-cational programs for area schools. We dovetail to their curriculums to help teach cultural, social and tech-

nology related subjects not only from an historical standpoint but also in light of current and future technologies of rail and what that means for transportation.

“The final pieces of rolling stock, our two really large steam locomotives, should be in Frisco by May. We hope to do a soft mu-seum opening in early summer. This would allow select pieces to be open for tours including the Pull-man sleeping car, a dining car built in the 1930s and some of the other rail passenger cars.

“In the future, we will launch a major building campaign to fund the next phase of construction to create the more permanent mu-seum buildings that will house the smaller pieces in the collection. It may take several years to raise the funds to build something like that. We basically have the footprint es-tablished on the master plan for our site.

“This is an exciting time for the museum. Thanks to Frisco and the local railroad companies like BNSF, we are about to launch something that will be great for North Texas.”

The LPGA announced the re-turn Jan. 10 of the North Texas LPGA Shootout, to be held April 25 to 28 at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving. The tournament is the Tour’s first in the North Tex-as region in more than 20 years, though the LPGA last made head-lines in the area when LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame member Annika Sorenstam teed it up at the PGA TOUR’s Colonial Invitation-al in 2003.

The North Texas LPGA Shoot-out will also provide a unique op-portunity for amateur players in the area to earn spots in the field through qualifying. Tournament exemptions will be awarded to the winners of a high school and col-legiate “shootout” played in advance of the event. Tournament proceeds will benefit The Nexus Club which primarily supports and raises funds for the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf in North Texas.

Many of the LPGA’s current players were junior golf stars in Lone Star state including 2012 Ro-lex Player of the Year Stacy Lewis, five-time LPGA winner Angela Stanford, 2012 Rolex First-Time Winner Brittany Lang and Katie Futcher.

“I am extremely excited for the opportunity to play in my home state again,” said Stanford, a four-time member of the U.S. Solheim Cup Team and native of Saginaw, TX. “North Texas is a community with a passionate golf fan base, and I know they will love having the Tour in town.”

The $1.3 million North Texas LPGA Shootout will host a full-field of 144 players playing 72 holes of stroke play over four days of competition. The tournament will be the Tour’s first stop in the state

of Texas since the 2009 LPGA Tour Championship Presented by Rolex, played outside Houston. It will also mark the Tour’s first stop in North Texas since the 1991 U.S. Women’s Open, won by 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup Team Captain Meg Mallon at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth.

“Irving has a deep history of hosting premier golf events,” said Irving City Manager Tommy Gon-zalez. “We roll out the red-carpet and provide athletes the comforts and amenities they need while competing. On top of that, we also have top-notch facilities that are accustomed to servicing large and passionate groups of sports fans. The LPGA will find Irving conve-nient, friendly and fun.”

“We are truly thrilled to return to the great state of Texas and to bring the LPGA Tour back to a re-gion where we have a great history and passionate fans,” said LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan. “It makes sense for the LPGA to be in North Texas and we look forward to showing golf fans in the region why it’s different on the LPGA.”

“Las Colinas Country Club’s Board of Governors and the mem-bers are thrilled the club has been

selected as the site of the North Texas LPGA Shootout,” said Ron Woolard, Las Colinas general man-ager. “We are proud to welcome the LPGA players to North Texas and to showcase our great club, now celebrating 50 years of service to our members and the Irving com-munity.”

“We are so excited to host this tournament, and the fact the LPGA is including North Texas high school and college female ath-letes further underscores the value of this event to Irving,” said Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne. “Irving is highly focused on providing oppor-tunities for youth, and we are proud to host an event of this stature that will offer young women such a unique experience.”

“The LPGA has not had a tour event in North Texas in more than two decades, and we are very excit-ed about not only the tournament, but the unique format that it intro-duces,” said Kathy Wilkins, Presi-dent of The Nexus Club. “For the first time, there will be a ‘shootout’ for North Texas high school and re-gional collegiate female golfers that will give the up-and-coming talent in our area an opportunity to tee it up with the world’s best golfers.

“The tournament is a culmina-tion of the community efforts of the City of Irving, the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber, the members of Las Colinas Country Club, and the dedicated members of the Nexus Club. Proceeds will benefit the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of Dal-las, an organization that supports young ladies who may not other-wise have the opportunity to be ex-posed to the game of golf and the life lessons that can empower their future.”

Airlines for America rejects pilot rules proposal Airlines for America (A4A) recently reaffirmed its support for the

new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot duty and rest times rule, which was rigorously analyzed over a two-year period, and urged Congress to reject recently introduced legislation by Congressmen Mi-chael Grimm (R-NY) and Tim Bishop (D-NY) to extend those rules beyond passenger airlines to all-cargo carriers.

“We are in the safest period of aviation history, an achievement reached through a shared commitment the FAA, the airlines and their employees, and the new FAA rule continues to put the safe operation of passenger and cargo airlines first for customers and crew members,” said A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio. “All stakeholders actively participated in the rulemaking, which was composed of a scientific re-view of existing safety measures, fatigue mitigations and diverse airline operating environments, and the rule as put forward by the FAA builds on our safety record.”

The proposed legislation is ill-advised with no basis in science or relevant data, according to A4A.

While New Orleans hosts the biggest U.S. Mardi Gras., it is not the only city that celebrates the boisterous festival, according to the travel experts at The GO Group. This year the holiday (which marks the end of carnival season and ush-ers in Lent) falls on Feb. 12. Fes-tivities, however, started as early as Jan. 19.

One of the largest celebra-tions occurs in St Louis at Soulard Mardi Gras, offering more than 15 events. The fun kicked off Satur-day, Jan. 19, with a winter carnival in Soulard Market Park offering family-friendly activities such as games, mask decorating and a chil-dren’s parade. Four-legged friends can participate in The Beggin’ Pet Parade and “Tail” Gating Party on Feb. 3. Festivities culminate in the illuminated Fat Tuesday Parade that winds through downtown St. Louis.

Universal Orlando hosts Bands & Beads, an authentic celebration that transforms the venue into a

family-friendly version of the New Orleans street party. On Saturdays and select nights from Feb. 9 -- April 20, the celebration combines theme park entertainment with an elaborate parade, costumed per-formers, authentic New Orleans bands, Cajun cuisine and live con-certs.

Puerto Rico’s version of Mardi Gras is its annual Ponce Carnival, held the week leading up to Ash Wednesday. The carnival takes place in the downtown area of Ponce and features marauding, costumed ve-jigantes, who “rid” revelers of evil spirits. The festival ends with the Entierro de la Sardina, or “Burial of the Sardine,” a mock funeral in honor of the coming season of Lent.

Established in 1718, New Or-leans’ Mardi Gras, is a lively mix of music, parades, floats, music, cos-tumes, street performers, artists and families gathering for picnics before the more raucous night revelry be-gins. During Mardi Gras, virtually

all the businesses and roads are shut down and everyone wears purple, green, gold and, of course, beads.

Nobody I know likes going through pain. We do we can to avoid pain of any and all kinds. In this article, I will try to show you that pain is not always a bad thing.

Pain – physical suffering or distress, as due to injury; illness, etc. Distressing sensa-tion, mental or emo-tional suffering or tor-ment, affliction, agony, anxiety, and distress.

I like to share with you some insight on managing your pain:

First we have physi-cal pain, and that is any upheaval or dis-tress or discomfort to the physical frame of a person.

Secondly, Brokenness is a source of pain. Sometimes the thing that we think will kill us, often makes us stronger. There is always suffering before Glory! For In-stance, when you exercise and work out, it causes pain, but it also brings results. The phrase used frequently in gyms around the world: “No Pain, No Gain!” God gets the glory out of us by allowing us to go through some things. Another analogy deals with a tea bag. A tea bag is no good unless it is boiled or put in hot water. Painful situations will most times change our outlook on life.

Thirdly, Pain makes us sharper and better than before. Conflict produces heat and discomfort. The Bible talks about how iron sharpens iron. Pain and trouble comes in our lives to sharpen our wit, and change our perspective. Pain causes us to be sharper and more focus. Every problem you have in life introduces you to yourself. In other words, you began to find out that some of the things that you went through, you had the strength to endure. Then there are other times, you failed miserably you were weaker than you thought.

I will bring more insight to this piece on pain in the next week’s edition!

Take care and, “I will see you in the terminals!”
