If you’re flying over the holidays, Clark has an early Christmas present for you. The Dallas Morning News has done exhaustive research into airline safety. They have collected all of the information since 1982, when data started being collected. The research shows that airline travel has gotten safer every year by huge amounts. The chances of you being in an airplane crash are almost nil. In one year, more people die in one state on highways than die on airplanes throughout the world. Pilots are also much better trained than ever. In other airline news, Delta is treating its customers much better these days. A few years ago, Delta was treating its most frequent fliers – known as “medallion members” – like dirt. Today, they have changed most of those policies and are offering more rewards for flying. In addition, Delta has also cut the change fee from $100 to $50 for all fliers. And flying a pet or child now costs $50 instead of $100 as well. Company representatives even mentioned “Costco” as its model for the changes, which Clark loves. Hopefully, Delta’s changes will put a lot of pressure on competitors to create more customer friendly policies.
