How does someone send an e-mail from my e-mail?

The short answer is they did not, but made it look that way.  Take a look at this post, go to the bottom and you will see  this button to the right.  Click on it.

You can then put any name or any e-mail that you want then load up e-mail addresses.     

Credit Card Refunds

I was at my bank today talking to the mgr and the assistant manager about credit card refunds for Direct Air Tickets.  Commerce is accepting requests but are not processing refunds right away , but will respond within the 60 days.   Bottom line if they don't get money back on their end , they are not going to give a refund.

As far as the other banks that have processed refunds, I was told many banks do that but they are "provisional credit"..  In other words, they assume that they will get monies on their end.   If they do not get money back, they will then reverse the prior credit given.

Steve, I know you are going to site some Federal Law as to why this is not the way this is suppose to happe, but this is what is happening.  At the same tiime I agree.  Why should Commerce Bank or any other bank be on the hook for an airline (Direct Air) that misappropirated money or a credit card processor (JetPay)  that goes out of business

E-mail from Bill Randell???

I just went to my Outlook and there are 15 messages that say    "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)", but I had not sent out any e-mails???  It looks someone (wonder"land" who?) sent out an e-mail pretending to be me??

Bottom line if you get any e-mails from anyone recommending a link to Worcester Wonderland, we all know who it is from????   In fact I got one.     This is akin to someone setting a fire then calling the fire department.  A desperate cry for help/attention???

I would greatly appreciate if anyone reading this blog post spread the word on this...  THANK YOU!!!   Bullies are never ever able to stand up and put their name behind anything they say.  For that, in a way, I feel bad for these bullies.      Here is the message:

Platter River Claim

When Direct Air started to implode I called Platte River and e-mailed them for a claim and I got it in the mail the other day.  Since I have no tickets, I will not be filing a claim.

If anyone out there does want to file a claim let me know.  I can give them this paperwork and I think you would get in on the ground floor--maybe not?   My claim number is 159108-2, so I think I may be the 2nd person?

JFK Tax cut

103 & 104 Armory Street and 3 Burns Court

Site plan meeting Wednesday April 11th to review South Worcester Neighborhood Improvement Corp plan to build 3 buildings with 10 units and 20 parking spots.  

We have foreclosed empty multi-families all around Main South and SWNIC is building new construction.    It is not about what the neighborhood needs, but it is all about the monies-development fees etc.    It never ends.   

It does not say in the public notice but I am guessing all ten units will be affordable.

GREAT COMMENTS TODAY

JetBlue Flight 191

Check out their blog entry on this flight.     How good are these guys???  They have their CEO on Twitter, a great blog and bad situation that they attack head on.     A consumer like myself can not help but be attracted to airline like this?

Instead in Worcester,  when MassPort has to deal with Direct Air fall-out.   What do they do??    They take out a full page ad in the Telegram?        50 years ago that may have been a great idea and it may ensure favorable treatment in the Editorial section, but today does that make alot of sense.  

Imagine if they had the Airport Director open a Twitter account to answer questions or tell him to answer questions on local blogs???    Hey, but what the hell does JetBlue know anyhow???

Bully

In theatres March 30th,        Take a stand against bullying  by taking a stand with us



Airport Directory Andy Davis answer

Question: 
Barger, JetBlue CEO, said that the Providence airport appears well prepared to handle JetBlue flights. “I think we’re real impressed with what we saw with the infrastructure in Providence,” Barger said. By contrast, he said that Worcester Regional Airport needs significant upgrades to improve passenger access and navigational aids. “I mean, it gets a little foggy up there,” Barger said.
  1. What are the navigational aids he is referring to?
  2. How much will they cost?
  3. Are there any plans in the works to have this done?
Answer
You’ll have to ask the CEO what he meant. I can tell you that in over 3 years, 268,650 passengers got to and from the airport and Direct Air had 1,460 commercial operations, in addition to another 150,000 aircraft operations that used the airport. Please be assured we are talking with airlines regarding ORH but these things take time. As for your blog, I am circumspect in using it as an appropriate venue to comment on any airline discussions we may be having regarding possible service.

Direct Air Owners

Does anyone really doubt these people are going to leave the country and with $30 million dollars of money never to be seen again?

JetPay & Direct Air

Another story -- bankruptcy for the processor (JetPay) of credit card purchasers of Direct Air ticket sales will be in their future.  They are saying they have insurance to cover ctatrophic events like this but when they sure dont have $20,000,000 dollars worth of insurance

DirectAir will convert to Chapter 7 (liquidation) from Chapter 11 any day.

From the Boston Globe, what did the CEO of JetBlue mean when he said

MassPort Letter

Check in out in newspaper.--Page 10.  Can anyone cut paste and send to me?

Short Term ORH goals

As mentioned here I believe if Allegiant went back to Hagerstown, that they have to be looking at ORH.    I love the idea of an ORH-PIE flight.       If it is going to happen, it will happen fast?  I hope..

Dave Zimage pointed this letter to the editor in the Boston Herald to me.    Boys and girls, Linear Air basedout of Hanscom.  Great company lets get them to put some of their jets at ORH!
