News and notes from around the interweb:\n<\/p>\n

SFO and Oakland airports have settled<\/a> their trademark dispute. Oakland airport can use the \u2018San Francisco Bay\u2019 name but only as long as Oakland goes first. So they get Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport. (Also, no hyphen or slash Oakland \/ San Francisco Bay Airport. And they cannot seek an IATA code containing SF, and no keyword advertising with the SFO\/San Francisco name.) <\/p>\n

If Oakland or San Francisco sees non-compliant third-party use, Oakland must use reasonable efforts to correct it excluding trivial personal social media posts. I might just start taunting them referring to San Francico\u2019s Oakland Airport.<\/p>\n

Richmond airport is talking up a potential Capital One lounge<\/a><\/p>\n

RIC Chief Growth Officer Martin Rubinstein told the commission that the airport has had discussions with a third-party company that builds lounges for Capital One, which operates its own branded lounges at seven domestic airports: New York City\u2019s LaGuardia and JFK airports, D.C.\u2019s Dulles International and Reagan National airports, and in Las Vegas, Denver and Dallas. An eighth is planned for Charlotte. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re exploring options that could allow for Capital One branding at (RIC), because even though we are very small compared to the other airports that have Capital One branding, we have the Capital One offices here,\u201d Rubinstein said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we have international flights and Capital One employees flying out of this airport, they will probably want to see that here, so we think we have a good rationale for that conversation to happen,\u201d he added, referencing the airport\u2019s ongoing effort to bring a direct European flight to RIC. <\/p>\n

20% transfer bonus from Capital One to Qantas through May 31. This is potentially useful to me wiht all my Venture X<\/a> points, and because Qantas makes a lot more premium cabin award space available to its own members than it does to its partner programs (and that helps me visit my family in Australia).
\n20% transfer bonus from Chase to Air France KLM Flying Blue through May 27. This is the best program in SkyTeam, though fuel surcharges were recently raised, still one of the better opportunities for business class awards over the Atlantic. \t<\/p>\n

65% transfer bonus from Chase to Marriott through May 15 and then 55% May 16 \u2013 June 30. You\u2019re still only getting about a penny a point in value with the bonus. It\u2019s possible that there can be a use case for the offer, but it\u2019ll be rare to be worthwhile since Marriott points themselves aren\u2019t worth a ton (perhaps 2\/3rds of a cent apiece to start with) and base transfers are only 1:1.This is\u2026 not worth it.
\nNo, that is not at all what \u201986\u2019 means in this context. It means \u2018James Comey is being unjustly prosecuted\u2019. And 86 means get rid of, get him out of office, at least it has many meanings and context matters. The Comey indictment will almost certainly be dismissed<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meet Matt Doogen, he\u2019s a pilot for @united<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He just changed his cover photo on Facebook to \u201c8647\u201d which is known to symbolize kiIIing Trump.<\/p>\n

Would you feel safe with him flying your plane?<\/p>\n

I shared last week that American won back 3 gates at Chicago O\u2019Hare<\/a> in the preliminary determination by the airport. I managed to FOIA the notice<\/a> and the exhibits<\/a> showing the current and new allocations. I figured this would be of interest to some of you.<\/p>\n

Current allocation:

Tentative redetermination:
