Dear U.S. Airways.

Dear U.S. Airways,
Thank you for the e-card. I would have preferred that you revert your baggage policy back to not charging for checked bags, now that fuel prices have gone down, but that's life.
However, I'm puzzled by certain aspects of this image, and have a few questions about it for you.

1) The plane appears to have materialized through the glass of the snowglobe without breaking it. Have you invented technology that allows your planes to dematerialize at will? If so, what are the implications for passengers? Does the plane take us with it when it disappears, or do we flail about in mid-air for a few seconds before plunging to our deaths?

2) I'm looking at the scale, and that's a really, really big plane as compared with the city in the snow globe. How much does it cost to maintain the airport & runways for such a ginormous plane? How much fuel does it use to get skyborne? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a more normal-sized plane?

3) The giant snowglobe covering the city. Now, I do come from Waterville, Maine, which once wanted to cover its entire downtown with a giant dome (alas, I cannot find any references to this bit of folly online). Still, I am unaware of any cities in domes. Are you? If so, what implications does this have for global warming? How would such a dome be constructed? Can people even breathe in there?

4) Along those lines, the giant snowglobe seems to sit serenely on the sea, untroubled by things like waves… or gravity. Your R&D department seems to have done a bang-up job if this is the case, but wouldn't it be better to spend that money on planes?

5) Those palm trees are GIANT. Are you going to fly me to the land of the giants, where palm trees of this size are treated like so much broccoli and eaten for lunch?

I appreciate your prompt responses to my questions. Best of luck with the astounding giant-plane producing, gravity-defying R&D team. Seems like you've got some really great people working there.

And for God's sakes hire a better graphic designer next time.

Sincerely,

Greg Machlin
