Beyond that, I think this is a non-issue and even 'filler' type reporting.

This shows ingenuity and business sense and is really a no brainer for the airlines and advertisers...they should both be lining up to implement. Kudos to the folks at The Head Guard and JDA for bringing this to America. I understand it will be a Made In America product too...wow! let's help the economy and protect passengers. Thanks JDA and HeadGuard...Keep on moving forward.Brad Whirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759772681633815009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-53825908639898160232012-02-29T13:45:22.757-05:002012-02-29T13:45:22.757-05:00There is absolutely nothing wrong with turning an ...There is absolutely nothing wrong with turning an expense into a profit-generator.<br /><br />Safety costs money, so why not have it pay for itself? A bump strip produces no revenue, and it's apparently net even as safe. A blinking light bar might be as well-noticed, but wouldn't produce revenue.<br /><br />What's wrong with America? If somebody makes a buck, we go for his throat! Some folks are hostile to profits, even if their delivery system increases safety! <br /><br />Maybe we all need to have the government supply infitite bubble wrap for our heads. But why? We don't use them for anything, anyway.Tim Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311378469790949468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-88075255260506851562012-02-29T08:57:54.350-05:002012-02-29T08:57:54.350-05:00As someone who creates and licenses images for a l...As someone who creates and licenses images for a living, I can understand the concept of "revenue producing ad space". However, I'm constantly amazed at the MBA "group think" that espouses profit over common sense. <br /><br />Whatever happened to doing the right thing to take care of your customers? I mean, if it will make the trip just a little safer, and, heaven forbid, possibly prevent a lawsuit, wouldn't that seem like a prudent thing to do?<br /><br />Am I missing something...again?John Slemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840247171223966211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-63875577895096703342012-02-28T12:20:38.563-05:002012-02-28T12:20:38.563-05:00As a previous regional airline pilot I have seen m...As a previous regional airline pilot I have seen many passengers hit their head including myself. Luckily, I had my hat on most of the time. Amazing that the airlines are concerned about passenger safety but ONLY if they can profit from it.Kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-33687805609473000022012-02-28T08:08:00.457-05:002012-02-28T08:08:00.457-05:00I like the idea of a head bumper, but I seriously ...I like the idea of a head bumper, but I seriously question the logic of making it an attractive nuisance. Just making eye contact with the flight attandant is enough to cause passengers to trip on the airplane door threshold, which is almost never exactly aligned with the jet bridge. If the advertising head bumper is widely used, I am sure the company will soon offer a soft mat that could be placed just inside the aircraft to soften the impact when people trip over the door sill. Possibly advertising could be sold on the mat as well. Something catchy like, "This trip brought to you…." The one liners just write themselves.Jim Blaszczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096277595889819199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133703253863123050.post-6201370103584846352012-02-27T22:29:12.284-05:002012-02-27T22:29:12.284-05:00Well, let's see: Bieber and Obama... hmmm...
