American Airlines has announced in the aftermath of their new "restructuring" plan that they will be flying 'off the grid' at an average altitude of about 50 feet from now on. This will not only save them the trouble of filing IFR flight plans but passengers will benefit by having a better view of such popular sights as the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore and numerous cell phone towers flashing past the windows. There will be no requirement for supplemental oxygen and the time from putting your seat back and tray tables in the upright position for landing to actual touchdown will now be about 2 seconds.
