American Airlines just got cooler. On a recent flight landing in Boston, Lawrence Wright encountered a flight attendant who used a memorable phonetic alphabet. He announced to the plane they would be arriving at gate B 11, as in Batman 11. Their luggage would be at carousel C, as in Captain America. I like this better than Bravo and Charlie.
The attendant, Mr. Owens, shared his entire code with Wright and I can only hope that more people adopt it. Check it out after the break.
