Delta flight disrupted by rogue onboard Wi‑Fi network prompts safety review

A Delta Air Lines flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta was disrupted after an unauthorized onboard Wi‑Fi network appeared, prompting the crew to briefly disable the plane’s internet service. Delta said none of its systems or aircraft were hacked and that Wi‑Fi was restored after about 30 minutes as federal authorities investigate. The incident, which social media linked to a rogue network amid cybersecurity concerns, underscores passengers’ need to connect only to the airline’s official network; regulators are involved and no emergency occurred.

Starlink Wi‑Fi feud turns into a tirade between Musk and O’Leary

A dispute over Starlink in-flight connectivity between Elon Musk and Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary escalated into a public exchange of insults after O’Leary dismissed Musk and the service; Musk fired back on X, calling O’Leary an utter idiot, while Ryanair argues Starlink would add drag and fuel burn on its 737s and isn’t worth the cost on short-haul routes. Musk contends the technology is viable and will shape passenger choice as airlines increasingly adopt it.

While players had mixed opinions on the policy, coaches and other staffers are allowed to expense in-flight Wi-Fi. Despite the occasional $10 charge, it's embarrassing that the Yankees refuse to pay for in-flight Wi-Fi, considering how much money the team spends elsewhere.
