Not all American stations have names aside from their call sign. In the Seattle Area, KUOW is just KUOW. The dance station at 89.5 calls itself C89.5, and almost nobody uses their call sign of KNHC.

On the other hand, the dance station in the Miami area calls itself "Revolution 93.5". It really depends upon the station and the market.

I don't mind paying for e-mail personally. There's a lot of odds and ends stuff you have to deal with operationally if you self-host, and most of the places that charge you don't display ads.

I’ve personally found that it depends on the aircraft. It’s especially true in a widebody where economy doesn’t walk through the same cabin, and not so true on a narrowbody with few seats.

Aside from it being difficult to implement, I like this idea, especially if it’s less to check. I have noticed that some airlines, Alaska for example, will give free gate checks to folks.

Many airports have half decent lounges. My personal preference is to hang out in the lounge until the boarding is nearly over, stroll onto the plane and sit down to go, but this tends to be impractical due to luggage.

Pretty much this. When I’m flying business I actually would rather board at the end, but I also don’t want to check my bag because it’s a hassle to retrieve and the contents are thrown several meters. If I could guarantee there was space in the overhead for my bag or if it was loaded for me, I’d board last.

Personally, I’d like to be able to exit from multiple sides of the plane. Getting people to be orderly is hard, but at least you can half it.

For a while they were using Yodlee for the backend (which did all sorts of weird stuff), but I think they rewrote it after Intuit bought them.

That's why there's the Met police vs the City of London police, no? (I blame a wikipedia dive into policing in the UK for knowing that piece of trivia)

It's not quite a vending machine, but Nespresso has replaced going to the coffee shop for my morning espresso. I think it does a better job than Starbuck, personally.
