      As much as I hate checking bags I tend to agree with this.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/932326478590676992 …

      Airlines should reverse the charging policies for checked v carry on bags. Charge for carry on, check for free, boarding gets much much faster.

      That's the brilliance of puddle jumpers, among other things.

      Yep. Boarding too: Flew in a 777 last week—it was wonderfully spacious, but took 45-50 minutes to board (for a short-haul domestic!).

      Yup. I'm obviously small, so I don't mind being in the smaller seats. So for the boarding & gate check, I'll always take the puddle jumper. Did you see Dick DeVos was on one of my recent ones?

      Ha! No, I missed that. Nice of DDV to go slumming with us, the unwashed masses. Pete Hoekstra, too:https://twitter.com/cshbell/status/930027123082964993 …

      Spotted at the GRR airport bright and early this morning: Newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to The Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra.

      Hoekstra I'm less surprised by. He doesn't have his own plane, right? Suspect DDV flew commercial bc he was interviewing on the FAA job. I didn't realize it was him but he was raving abt direct flights to GRR.

      DDV is generally the one given credit for getting Southwest to GRR. He founded the Air Alliance that sought to improve air service here. But yeah, I recall your siting. Think that was around when Price, Zinke, et al. were in trouble.

      Also worth crediting DDV for helping push the GRR renovation, which has made it into a *really nice* airport to fly in and out of.

      Except for the unified TSA screening (which Nick had never been through last I checked). It's gonna drive me to get Pre.

          Think I fly about 10:30 a.m., so could almost go either way at that point. Maybe both!
