Carnival plan to police deck chairs receives a round of applause online
The next time you cruise on Carnival Cruise Lines, don’t bother trying to save deck chairs for a companion or for yourself if you’re not going to use it.
The plan, [senior cruise director John Heald] said, is for crew to place a small sticker with the current time on any claimed-but-unused deck chair. Forty minutes later, if the chair is still unused, the crew will remove the articles and take them to the towel station by the pool.
FAA suspends operation that led to near-collision

No commercial airports will be able to use the procedure, in which controllers direct some planes to take off and land from the opposite of the usual direction, until a standardized procedure can be put in place, aviation officials said. There is no national standard for the procedure, although airports follow their own procedures.
