With a Deutschland Pass in hand, and a ready package of Energizer lithium batteries, I ventured on my first reporting trip in Germany. I had been in talks with the Frankfurt airport folks about talking about the future of money-making in the airline industry. I had also met the VP of the Star Alliance during a press event at U.S. Airways’ headquarters, based in Tempe. I didn’t know when my trip to Frankfurt would come through until the press officer with the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl got back to me–she found some Arizonans willing to talk…and I needed to come right away.
