COMMENTS: Stuffed as Turkeys
Both ABC and NBC looked forward to the next holiday. NBC chose to lead with Tom Costello's coverage of the airline industry's heads up that smooth Thanksgiving flying "is going to depend largely on the weather." He ran through the precautions being taken to avoid delays and cancelations: the FAA will open more departure routes from northeastern hubs; the airlines are increasing staffing levels of reservation agents, baggage handlers and pilots; and, ominously, terminals are "stocking up on food, water and cots just in case." ABC's David Kerley (subscription required) was skeptical, pointing to planes flying at 90% capacity--"meaning if you are bumped or delayed there is virtually no place to put you."
