TV program on flying
 

A & E's investigative report program is focusing on air travel this week.

Today, it was about 737's rudder problem. I think they are replaying this one on Wed 2AM EST which is in about 20 mins (not sure).

On Wed 10PM EST & Thu 2AM EST...
Rage in the Air
Looks at travelers' increasing unhappiness with the airline industry, and why some outraged passengers have even attacked airline personnel during flights. Host Bill Kurtis shows how airline business practices, such as overbooking and bumping of passengers, have added to travelers' stress level.

On Sat 4PM EST...
Air Traffic Jam: Bumped, Delayed and Grounded
A look at the skyrocketing number of flight cancellations and delays plaguing the nation's air traffic system. Victims of plane delay tell their horror stories, including a man whose plane sat on the tarmac in Chicago for more than eight hours, and a woman and her two sons who were trapped for eight hours on a Detroit runway during a snowstorm.

I am a big fan of Bill Kurtis and Ivestigative Reports on A&E, but I wasn't very impressed with this evenings program regarding 737's.

Maybe the ones commimng up on aviation and air travel will be better.

I think most of the info and film footage has been covered before, but still interesting programs.
Thanks for the schedules, Empress. Will have to catch the later showing because of my late work hours.

Started watching the A&E show but got bored with it...old news covered many times before. Switched to the Travel Channel and watched a good piece on the history & growth of the 747.

It's going to be about LAX on Friday night.
