Which airlines did you fly and do you have FF accounts with them ?
Jump to postTo the first part, there are plenty of non Indian mothers who try to pressure their kids into giving them grandchildren.
To the second part, I totally agree, but again not just in India.

Jump to postFrom what I vaguely remember, 1 days fliw of the Columbia breaks the draught. Feeding the water into Powell and Mead allows it to be stored for future use, but before that, California and to a degree Arizona need to take a hard look at their use age. That sounds like a logical solution, assuming he...
Jump to postThe problem with that is, once the water flows unused out of the LA area its gone. Better to pipe it across land (mostly federal once you hit Nevada) and let it flow into Powell or Mead.

Jump to postInterpreting the results is simple. It's based on expectations. B6 has the highest ranked F/J class because their customers generally expect less from an LCC. Meanwhile, DL premium customers, for example, expect more from a legacy carrier and will score them more strictly. Maybe JD power should inc...

Let's face facts folks.
This is a subject that no matter how much you try, you will not be able to change a person's mind, give up now.
The November elections are going to hang on this.
Whoever leaked this is in a world of trouble.
If I had a Bugatti, I would do the same ;-). Certainly in Germany, only a 20minutes drive at those speeds :lol: Never have driven faster than 227km/h on the autobahn. Although driving a 15y/o Fiat Tipo at 155km/h downhill was by far more dangerous. I wonder how long the fuel tank would last? 20 min...
Jump to postWow.... imagine 800+ deliveries a year of just one family of aircraft (by 2025, effectively A320/A321). (11months * 75 = 825). Here's something for a trivia buff to work out. What was the first year that saw the delivery of 800 commercial passenger aircraft total. Could also identify prop vs jet 80...

Well this will make for an interesting midterm. With close to 70% of the population in favor of Roe v Wade it seems on the surface that this will cause a backlash, saving the Democrats from a substantial loss of seats. But as US politics has shown time and again, if people don't vote, they get to li...

I’m not surprised. Any new startup in this field will have a hard time especially if it is supposed to attract only a specific group of people. Trump being Trump doesn’t help much either here.
