Paul Turk Quotations

When you board, tell a flight attendant that you're sick.

You're going from Dallas to Sioux City (Iowa) or Dallas to Casper (Wyoming) or Dallas to Albuquerque (New Mexico), where capacity is not an issue. There are more airplanes in the system, but they are not going hub to hub, where the real congestion exists.

Accidents on or right next to airport property are not all that common.

Immediately after being handed off from Stuart tower to Palm Beach approach, the pilot or someone else on the aircraft - using the radio - said they needed to return to Stuart. The accident happened when they were returning to Stuart.
