So this company, one of the leaders worldwide in terms of the number of titles it publishes, made less than $50 million in revenue and $4 million in profit? Hmm, that's about the size of a smallish newspaper or a midsize single title consumer magazine. Sounds hopeful, for sure.
Airplanes in America still have in flight magazines? Fuck, in Europe some of the airlines now charge you to use the toilet. Seriously, my girlfriend was on a plane a little while ago and to get in the toilet you had to insert either a two euro or two pound coin. If they gave you a magazine they'd probably charge you five bucks for it.
@drunkexpatwriter: No offense, but sounds apocryphal. A quick google search reveals nothing about airlines actually charging, and only Ryanair seems to have considered it (and even then, Ryanair has a long history of making noise for noise's sake). What airline / when was this?
It's also amazing how all the useless, overpriced crap in Sky Mall seems incredibly innovative, reasonably priced and essential whenever I forget to bring a book to read on a flight.
Do magazines think people want to wait for their regurgitated content on a monthly basis again? No. They do not. Silly magazines. You're going to have to offer people subscriptions to a bunch of your sites. And not .pdfs.
When the Big One hits L.A. or the next terrorist strike slams Manhattan, The Post will publish riveting "reaction stories" quoting the old dudes at the Holocaust Museum and Harry Reid.
Oh, how quaint. My local paper will finally live up to the title. It's a shame i can't look at the editorial page (hell, the entire paper) without wanting to rip it to shreds.

I think they were testing it out (as they seem to do with all their "brilliant" ideas on the Montpellier route. )
I think they use us to see how pissed off people will get because we don't get a lot of traffic.
They are also talking about testing out their smoke free cigs on flight on our route.

With that stick, it is no wonder she doesn't need a man.

Didn't you hear that all the sheet music for that Russian (?) chorus he's in went missing?
