Re: CoVid Vaccine Experience

Had my first AstraZeneca in the evening, woke up early feeling terrible, then developed fever, sore body, headache, nausea, chills, pain in the joints and didn't leave the bed until the evening of the second day. Was fine though a little tired on the third; everything fine since.

Re: Novel Coronavirus outbreak

Aren't hospitals in Wuhan still full with Covid19 patients? Why are they opening up Wuhan, releasing the virus to the rest of China? There is only one explanation. The virus was not contained and spread to the rest of the country Well, yes. The virus wasn't contained. It spread to every province an...

Re: The Smell of Airline Cabins

Saying that it's a variety of human smells, coffee, food etc. is certainly true, but it can't be the whole story. There IS something like an aircraft cabin smell which is quite unmistable and (to my knowledge) found all over the world. I set foot into a crowded subway carriage every morning and THAT...

Re: Reports of Ukrainian 737 Crash in Tehran,Iran

Re: Airbus To Offer Dimmable Windows

I fly Hainan from China from time to time on their 787s. In December coming into LAX from China was the first time that the windows were locked in the dimmed position for the entire flight. It didn't bother me much as I wanted to sleep, but we landed with the windows dimmed at about 5pm. Is this no...

Re: Reports of Ukrainian 737 Crash in Tehran,Iran

The probability of a missile is still way overrated in this thread. Yes, it's a distinct possibility that the plane was shot down, but the likelyhood is far smaller than many here make it out to be. In the history of aviation, only a small number of civil airliners were actually downed by missiles. ...

Re: Noise of new generation aircraft.

Never heard about these catogories, Strange that the A330 is doing so much worse than a B777-200. Also remarkeble that the A380 is doing beter than the much smaller A220. I think these classes need some tuning. What do you think ? Perhaps they are banding using noise profile divided by average seat...

Re: Lion Air 737MAX8 Crashed Jakarta to Pangal Pinang

Re: Lion Air 737MAX8 Crashed Jakarta to Pangal Pinang

I've been studying the (admittedly sparse) data on the graph over yesterday and today intermittently on here. I'm confused by your post though - you reference the "sudden drop at 23:33:30". The timelog doesn't even go out that far before end of flight. Did you mean to reference the sudden...

Re: Airbus to announce decision on selling planes to Iran over the coming days

The EU could force European companies to disregard the sanctions and compensate them for penalties. This is called a "blocking statute". Compensations could be paid for imposing special levies on US products and financial services. Yes, it's ugly, and could trigger further escalation down ...

Seeing that many people who try a larger phone find it cumbersome at first, but after a few days don't notice the size anymore and can't imagine going back to a small-screen phone which they then find "tiny", I'd definitely suggest trying the 6S first if you have any chance of doing so.
