It's almost October, which begins on Thursday of this week.

October in presidential election years is known as the "Month of Surprises."

We've already had one nice surprise as a bonus, ahead of the 1st of October. I suspect that we're going to get some others during that eventful month.

So, fasten your seat belts, secure your trays, make sure all carry-ons are safely stowed, and put your seat back in the upright position. This flight is almost ready for takeoff!

Thanks for flying American Airlines!

With one juicy candy behind each door. Donald better hold onto his trump. It's going to be dev-a-stating.
