NPR series on Flying this week
 

This morning on "Morning Edition" was installment in a four-part series on traveling. Here are summarys of the first two stories and links to where the audio files can be listened to in RealPlayer.

Pretty good stories, but nothing most of us do not already know.

-- From New York, Anthea Raymond (f) reports the first of our four-part series on traveling. There are many dilemmas facing today's airline crews and passengers. Some travelers have displayed their frustrations by verbally and physically abusing pilots, flight attendants, ticket agents and other passengers. Many unions and airlines say the biggest worry is the rising number of incidents against crew members and agents. (4:28)

Thanks for the information Blade. N-P-R (along with MSNBC and a few other places) tends to take a serious look at travel.

I must remember to listen to this programs. Even though it is stuff most of us know, I'm sometimes curious to see another take on things.
