Nothing more to say about that game last night, except, “What a game.”

That one play has to be one of the greatest I’ve ever seen in any game, much less a Super Bowl. If you watched the game, you know the one I’m talking about. If you’re a Patriots fan, I’m sure you don’t want to ever see it again.

And how appropriate. We have a native New Orleans son as MVP of the Super Bowl for the second year in a row — just in time for Mardi Gras tomorrow.

I swear — if someone in the Mystic Krewe of Rex could figure out a way to make a float in 24 hours, I’m sure they would be working on it right now — so Eli Manning could ride on it Tuesday morning.

Yes, it’s a bit bonkers here in Louisiana today. The natives are so excited for so many reasons it’s hard to describe.

Meanwhile, I walked outside today and almost walked right back inside. It must be 78 degrees out there. You know what that means. Yep. Looks like it is going to be perfect weather tomorrow for some rather, er, skimpy costumes.

No, not for me. My days of wearing skimpy Mardi Gras costumes is long gone. If I were to do that tomorrow, I’d scare people. Nah, I’ll be the one in the jeans with the camera (s) in tow. Nothing beats people watching on Mardi Gras day. Unless it’s taking their picture.

I need a vacation.

Hey guys! After four straight days of writing, this week’s mega-earnings issue of PlaneBusiness Banter is now posted.

All I have to say is “Thank God All The Major Airlines Have Now Reported Earnings.”

Woo hoo.

PlaneBusiness Banter subscribers can access this week’s issue here.

Lovely day here, located as we are outside of the Big Easy. It’s Mardi Gras and those in town to party hardy are in for a beautiful couple of days to do so.

Alas, yours truly is not. Sob. Oh no. I’m still mired in our mega-page issue of PlaneBusiness Banter for this week. It will be posted here in a bit. As usual, I’ll post a note when we are up and ready to be read.

So why is this week such a mega week? This is the largest earnings review issue this quarter.

We had three full reviews in last week’s issue. This week we have six.

Have a good one everybody. I’ll be back in a bit.

I forgot to mention — as our observant reader also noted in a follow-up email. Captain Dan is Dan Eikleberry and is a retired United Airlines’ Captain.  In the video, he’s still wearing his United hat and bars but chose a tie that doesn’t match.

Meanwhile, Tim Ford, the Director of Training, came from Skybus where he held the same position.

I’m telling you folks, this really looks way too much like Saturday Night Live.

I mean, on the other hand, I guess you could argue that it’s inspiring. Makes me want to go out and file a DOT application to start PlaneBusiness Express.

Just a couple of things before I slam the door, turn the phone off and absorb myself in finishing up this week’s mega-earnings issue of PlaneBusiness Banter.

One, our new contributor Godzilla is having some difficulty with our new upgraded version of Movable Type. Rather, MT is having problems of its own. Godzilla is, as far as we can tell, blameless.

We will start working on resolving these issues after this week’s issue is done.

So yes, he tried to respond to the comment left on his Family Airlines piece from yesterday, but alas, MT refused to take it. (Maybe MT just knows something we don’t?)

Speaking of Family Airlines, a reader wrote me a note today, in which he suggested we check out the video clips at the end of “Captain Dan of Family Airlines” video.

“Holly, check out the video clips at the end of “Captain Dan of Family Airlines” video.  I hope these aren’t samples of the “In-Flight Entertainment”.

Clip # 4:  “TACA TERROR ON TAPE” Flight 510

Clip # 9:  BA Plane Crash-Lands at Heathrow

Clip # 8:  Baby Born Onboard Flight KU411

Clip # 11:  Airline Incident Southwest Kicks Family Right Off Flight

Clip # 12:  Southwest Airlines INCIDENT Again! Kicks Family Off

Maybe they should rename it “Terror Airlines”.  Or “Scare The Shit Out Of My FAMILY AIRLINES!”

Or maybe his last suggestion, “Family Scare.”

Well, you know, until I got this note, I thought the most scary thing about this website was the fact that it had ads on it for such things as setting up your own Nevada corporation for cheap, and some political hack running for Congress. Oh, wait. That’s Barry Michaels. That’s the airline’s CEO.

Frankly, I’d never watched Family Dan’s clip all the way through, it was so bad.

But our reader is right. There is a really strange assortment of other YouTube links at the end of it. Not necessarily clips that should be on there.

Who are these people? I mean, is this whole thing really a creation of the Saturday Night Live writers who have nothing better to do now that they are on strike?
