>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LETTER FROM THE EDITOR<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Greetings from chilly Connecticut!  As you might have suspected Johnny Jet had a great week (thanks to Laura Bly for sharing Johnny Jet with the world). Our list of emails have doubled!  I am so thankful for everyone's support. This whole thing started for fun and now look FRONT PAGE OF THE LIFE SECTION IN USA TODAY!  Another Media Alert: Johnny Jet makes front page of the business section in Today's Hour!
OK Down to Business:  The big travel news this week is Last week's fare hike which was a bust, is now a reality. Expect tickets to be $20-$40 higher. If you have a USAir ticket for travel after March 24th (which is this Friday), you might want to get some back up.  The flight attendants are expecting to be striking on March 25th, which would shut the airline down, bummer for USAir.
 

TIP OF THE WEEK   By Chris McGinnis:
Avoid "the bloat" by steering clear of high sodium snacks like pretzels and peanuts, as well as that salty bloody Mary.
