American cancels more flights

Travel

The skies are just not that friendly anymore. American Airlines has canceled at least 900 more flights today. The carrier has scrapped one in three of its flights over the past three days.

It's been inspecting its jets for faulty wiring. And if that's not bad enough, another budget carrier has fallen out of the sky. This one's based in Hong Kong. Oasis airline has been flying only for about a year and a half. It offered flights from the U.K. to Hong Kong for $130 each way.

Apparently those deals really were just too good to last. Hundreds of passengers were stranded when the airline stopped flying late yesterday.

Marketplace Confessional

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
