On January 21, 2018 3 members of a site I own (Airlinebuzz.com), that already had a discussion group and an official facebook presence and page created a duplicate discussion group on facebook. The group is called the “The Airline BUZZ” and uses the copyrighted and trademarked name and slogans including “the buzz” on a daily basis throughout the group and the posts.

I have approached one of the group creators and moderators to be added as a moderator since the group was using my copyrighted material and intellectual property, he refused. It is his position and apparently the position of the other moderator/creators that they have the right to use my copyrighted material and intellectual property as their own because they disapprove d of the way the original and official site was being run. The member who I approached actually had a moderator role on the original site yet he never approached me with his concerns and is still in fact a moderator on the original site.

The only way to remove any trace of all of the copyrighted property from the unofficial facebook discussion group would be to completely shut it down since the copyrighted property has been used daily since the beginning.

I believe this unofficial group not only confuses members (and potential members), but it also distracts and degrades the value of the brand and the copyrights that I have owned since the original site’s inception in 2002.

As the rightful owner of the brand and copyrights since 2002 I felt it only fair that I have a hand in moderating a group using my brand without obtaining my permission first. I was willing to allow the group to continue under a shared control arrangement to as to now discount their work and efforts yet they have refused.

I don’t have the desire or patience for a legal fight over the use of my copyrighted name and intellectual property thus I am now selling the brand and domains. I have had a few offers over the years from travel sites and I am now going to openly sell with a condition of the sale that the new owner legally pursue the moderators and creators of the unofficial group in civil court for copyright violations.

The Boeing 707 jetliner, introduced by Pan American World Airways in 1958, changed commercial aviation dramatically. A decade later in 1970, Pan American revolutionized commercial aviation with the introduction of the Boeing 747. Here, the two iconic planes are lined up together on a runway to demonstrate the differences in their sizes.

N947DL, one of Delta’s MD-88s, at Gate E14 at DFW. This is one of the early MD-88s in Delta’s fleet- this aircraft was delivered in December 1989 and Delta flew its first MD-88 services in January 1988. The first eight MD-80s delivered to Delta in 1987 were actually MD-82s that were later upgraded to the 88 standard later on. Delta is set to have its MD-88 fleet retired by 2020-21 with 13 of them being retired by the end of this year. While there are cost efficiencies in retiring the MD-88, the primary driver for the Delta’s retirement of its MD-88 fleet is that Pratt & Whitney is no longer supporting the JT8D-219 engine. The MD-90s with their IAE V2500 engines and the Boeing 717s, oops, I mean MD-95, oops I mean DC-9 Series 95s and their Rolls Royce BR715 engines will have manufacturer support for a decades to come, so those two aircraft types will be part of Delta’s fleet for the foreseeable future.

When Virgin America moved to Dallas Love Field from DFW International Airport back in 2015, New York La Guardia was one of the first routes opened from Love Field by the airline and with the acquisition of the airline by Alaska Airlines last year, the DAL-LGA route is one of the first in North Texas to be converted over to Alaska Airlines and flown by Skywest’s E175s. I photographed N171SY (delivered to Skywest in June 2015) on the second day of Alaska/Skywest’s services at Dallas Love Field. According to press releases from Alaska, Skywest’s E175s in Alaska colors will also be flying to Portland, San Jose, San Diego, Washington National but the Seattle route from DAL will be flown by a Virgin America A319/320. Skywest flies 20 E175s for Alaska Airlines.

Update: I am still working the issues with the forum software, they are a bit deeper than I thought. I will have them fixed as quickly as i can. Thanks as always for your patience!

Okay Y'all, the forum software is acting kinda stupid. I've been working at it off and on for about a week while trying to keep the Forum up but it looks like I'm going to have to knock it off line to correct the problem. I plan on working on it this evening I will endeavor to fix the issues as quickly as I can.

Sorry for problems and thank you in advance for your patience!
