Does the back of the plane really smell like ass? I haven't been on a commercial flight in many years, so...

^^^Winner. This is the real question people should be asking. She shouldn't have been traveling anywhere oversea, so the entire airfare and travel costs are the issue, not her BS upgrade from coach.

Unfortunately, when examining airline flight safety data they didn't factor in the murder, rape, assault and robbery rate differences between first class and coach and then separate that further by age, sex and race.

If it is that unsafe, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to be sitting right next to your security detail. I'm surprised the airlines would let anyone sit in the dangerous coach compartment. Maybe they should put armed officers on planes and call them something fancy like air marshall. They would probably have reports of all these crimes going on in coach.

We delivered meds around in southern Louisiana. About 3 years ago we told the company we weren't going to NOLA again. The few dollars we made wasn't worth getting carjacked or killed. And gotten worse since we stopped. And Baton Rouge is trying to keep up with N.O. in the crime business

The people that put her in office don't care how she flies or where she flies to . She is not accountable for anything .

Likelihood of survival in a crash, not where the survivors were seated.

A week after return from the EU she was supposed to go to a climate summit in the Philippines. She got called out on it and cancelled

NOPD has lost close 150 Officers this year. It’s estimated 1 every 48hrs

You need to calculate the percentage increase, not simply subtract the values. This is useful IME.

49 to 69 is a 40.8163% increase.

A trip to France, then another trip to Switzerland, along with a handful of other trips where she's plopped herself in first-class. Sounds like she's been pampering herself this entire year to attain jet-set status, amazed the press is finally reporting on this.
She's remarkably out of touch, even the president of our company doesn't fly first-class. The majority of Southwest Airlines business comes from business customers...why? because they get there no fuss, no extra surcharges, no change fees...
quote:
In January, the mayor spent more than $2,300 to fly first-class to a Conference of Mayors' meeting in Washington, DC. The rest of her entourage paid $250.

Then in March, the mayor spent more than $2,800 to fly first-class to Miami for a U.S. Conference of Mayors gathering. The cost is nine times more than the $342 fare NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson pair.

Other city staffers paid $677 to take the trip according to 4WWL.

That's about nine times the $342 NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson paid to fly economy to the same meeting. Other staffers paid $677.

Come the summer, two pricey jaunts to Europe saw Mayor Cantrell and three of her top aides spend more than $40,000 on travel to France, which she defended by drawing on the city's heritage.

Probably sitting first class cause Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the aircraft. That is how bright she is.
