Daily Roundup--February 15, 2012

McDonalds France is redoing the menu to include cheeseburgers on baguette with a choice of gourmet cheeses. If they did that here, I might try it. Okay, I would definitely try it. 

Anyone traveling through Frankfurt, Germany tomorrow can expect some delays due to a strike by airport workers.

TSA is expanding the program that allows pilots to get  to get expedited screening. This will not only get pilots through quicker but out of the passenger line as well so we can get though quicker. I guess TSA was concerned the pilots might bring something on board that was detrimental to the safety of the aircraft. No mention of the fact that there is an ax in every cockpit and these same people WERE ACTUALLY FLYING THE PLANE. (Not to mention the mandatory background checks.)

Delta Airlines is upgrading its entire Boeing 747 fleet to lie flat seats in business class.
