Crew Start -- Helping Airline Crew (and Frequent Fliers) Kill Time...
Ran across this article in the Atlanta Journal, and thought fellow FT'ers may find it interesting.

Though it's aimed at pilots, flight attendants and other airline employees rather than passengers, Netherlands-based Crew Start offers temporarily grounded frequent fliers some intriguing diversions --- from crew-recommended restaurants close to the runways to an opportunity to listen in on live air traffic control reports at New York's JFK and several other airports.
You may not be interested in eavesdropping on the "latest galley gossip" via the site's bulletin boards. But the "Crew Fun" section delivers just that --- including links to great aviation quotes, airline nicknames (who knew TWA stood for "Try Walking Again"?) and an astounding collection of Web sites devoted to the fine art of collecting airline airsickness bags.
