Re: NFL playoffs!

Just to clarify, the -120 means you would need to bet $120 to win $100

Rough day for San Fran, playing without a qb that could throw the ball meant the Eagles had an advantage that even I could have played for them and won.

Re: Boeing & Lockheed models for BWB tanker/cargo

The USAF doesn’t need transport aircraft at all really. It’s much cheaper for Transcom to contract out cargo to civilian airliners. That might work in peacetime, but commercial providers might not want to fly into conflict zones with unhardened and unprotected aircraft. You couldn't force them and ...

Re: ETOPS In Flight Shutdown Statistics

ETOPS was a success due to demands of Airbus and the pilot unions? That is some real revisionist history there, it takes quite a lens to see the situation that way. Sadly, Tony Broderick has passed so we can't interview him. Airbus had the A300 flying trans Atlantic beyond 60 minutes before ETOPS r...

Doesn't Germany have something similar, like an award for good sporting conduct?

I'm wondering if DPS is served from North America. DPS is one of the most visited destinations from overseas. If there were flights to HKT from North America, probably AM, HA, WS would serve those routes.

Yet another mass shooting in the US not in Cali

This time in Baton Rouge. 12 people injured, 1 in critical condition. I hope they all make it. I mean at this point, I guess we can only shake our heads, move on, solute those who refuse to understand that yes, guns do kill people. https://www.yahoo.com/news/12-people-injured-shooting-baton-18205829...

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination Mandate in US Armed Forces Removed as Part of Spending Bill

Members of the military have to take various vaccines when they join. What makes Covid vaccines so special? Because unlike the other ones, the Covid vaccine has the Bill Gates mind-control microchips that turn you into a gay vegan liberal communist heathen... ...duh. There is an issue with this, ho...

AFAIK, "4 Engines 4 Long Haul" was more or a Virgin Atlantic marketing gimmick than something Airbus pushed really strongly.

Re: Pivot Airlines of Canada announces its launch dates

So the crew is seen being nowhere near the aircraft when the drugs were loaded, when the drugs were found they immediately reported it and they get to spend 8 months under house arrest. I know the DR can be a little, hmm old school Caribbean, but, what I don't understand is why the Canadian governme...

Re: LGW - Air India launches 12 new weekly flights

Have to say, I did not see this coming. Nice shot in the arm for Gatwick! About time EK got some competition out of LGW, at least for now AI will be putting pressure on the Y yields, when TATA gets AI acting like a real airline it could get interesting. Does Emirates even fly to all of those cities...

Re: Confusion over retro liveries

I think frequent travelers will notice and know what it is when they spot a classic / retro livery. The average person who flies once every 2nd year will have no idea what's going on. But those people will rarely notice any changes anyway. But I do believe the airlines would benefit from making a b...

Re: Biden admin Ban gas stoves?

There are induction commercial ranges meant for restaurants, and they are increasingly popular with top chefs because they are faster, more responsive, efficient, and provide for a more comfortable and safer working environment. I have an induction burner and love it but it's not the same as gas. R...

Re: I now have home Internet service - security measures?

As Win 7 is no longer supported I personally wouldn't be using it for anything on the net. As Alex says, as long as you are up to date on your Win 10 machine you are covered, the only thing I will say is whichever browser you are using make sure you have a good pop-up blocked installed.

Re: Why were US-China flights far more sustainable than US-India flights?

Probably didn't hurt that the CH3 were dumping capacity into the China - US routes. There were times when it was cheaper for me to fly into Shanghai from the US than to fly a transcon in the US. Sub $2 rt in J and sub $500 rt in Y were common.
