Re: Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine

I actually am still amazed that people don't see the "Let them eat cake" attitude. There's no need for tests, but the White House is stocked with them, everyone is tested daily, and if you're positive, you're quarantined. No need for medicine that's been proven to be ineffective (or provi...

Re: 777 - 25 years in commercial service

My first 777 flight was in 2007 or 2008; first flight on Emirates as well. I was flying BLR-DXB-LAX. I think I flew on a A330 to DXB then I got on the 777-200LR. What a magnificent airplane . I loved the engine start-up roar as well; it sounded like a muscle car revving up!
