American Airlines seems to be in “love” with alliances; one on the West Coast with Alaska Airlines (becoming Oneworld Alliance member on March 31), and another one for the East Coast with JetBlue.
American Airlines previously had a partnership with JetBlue that ended on April 1, 2014 (read more here), and the new one was announced on July 2020 (read more here), although the start date was left in the dark.

The paradox of the insurance policy.you pay for something you hope you never need. The concept is a part of life, especially where safety and protecting life are concerned. If you manage an airport where an accident or disaster can cost dozens of lives, you want the best insurance money can buy.
Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field (YKM) has a new policy if you will and it s a monster- both in size and price tag. The news release from the City of Yakima doesn t mention a name but since the new rig is called an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting apparatus, I guess we could call it ARF. You know, like the sound a dog makes.
