How Are the Airlines Faring and What Does it Mean for Passengers
May 13
Hour 1
There’s been a lot of news about the airline industry lately: the announcement of the United-Continental merger; the new tarmac rules that went into effect, the release of a new airline quality report; the calls for tightening the no-fly list, and the continued flight disruptions from Iceland’s volcanic ash cloud. This hour, we'll get an update on the airlines and what it all means for passengers from our guests Scott McCartney, travel editor for the Wall Street Journal, and Dean Headley, co-author of the Airline Quality Rating.

Update on Homelessness in South Jersey
May 13
Hour 2
About fifty former homeless people are living in a Cherry Hill hotel now thanks to a nonprofit group and the organizing of the self-governing residents of the former Camden neighborhood, "Tent City." Also known as "Transition Park," this slice of New Jersey state land has been existence for five years, and after many attempts by various New Jersey homelessness non-profits to clean up and close the area, the Nehemiah Group came up with a quarter of a million dollars and a year commitment to help the former tent-dwellers back into homes of their own. Our guest, MICAH KHAN of the Nehemiah Group, is helping to facilitate the complicated temporary shelter negotiations, assessments of those who are coping with substance addition and mental illness, and future job training and entrepreneurship programs. We'll also talk to former resident and Tent City board member, JAMES BOGGS. Then we'll get an overview of homelessness in South Jersey with ALISON RECCA-RYAN, Director of the New Jersey CSH (Corporation for Supportive Housing).
