"This is your captain speaking. Any loose change found while fumbling for your seat belt is considered to be the property of Frontier Airlines."

Frontier Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this morning but sought to assure customers it would continue to operate normally, book tickets and honor frequent flyer miles.

Got your taxes done? Refund already in the bank? Will you save it or spend it? If you spend it, will it go to paying bills?

Thirty-five percent said they plan to use the money to pay utility, credit card, housing or other bills, an Associated Press-AOL Money & Finance poll showed Thursday. That is up from 27 percent who said so a year ago, in a fresh example of how the ailing economy is affecting many families.

A city employee asked two Hispanic co-workers how much it costs to get their "people across the border." Or maybe he just wondered it out loud to himself.

Whichever version you believe, the worker, a 32-year-old Polish immigrant who's been in the U.S. for 13 years, drew a four-day suspension, which was then overruled on appeal.
