Surprised no one mentioned Montreal Mirabel. Too far, lack of highway connections and transit, they didn't even have jet bridges. You beat me to the punch!

I was curious - it seems that EWR is generally in a southern flow (landing/takeoffs on the 22's) the majority of time in my experience (not sure of exact usage - 75% of time? That i dont know). Why isn't runway 11 used more frequently (if the winds are light enough)? If airspace is constrained I'm ...
Jump to postWhy not allow parallel landing on 22 R and L? And do not say spacing. If SFO can have staggered parallel landings why can't EWR? EWR's southern traffic flying over Philadelphia can sequenced to one runway and the arrivals from the NE and Midwest can use the other. How would they accommodate the dep...

Jump to postOk, kids, it's now a moot issue. BBC reports: China has distanced itself from the remarks of one of its envoys who questioned the sovereignty of Ukraine and other former Soviet countries. Paris ambassador Lu Shaye's comments last week caused widespread outrage, leading on calls to Beijing to clarif...
Jump to postcpd wrote:Maybe the statement was calculated to stir up the pot while Beijing can then decide how to proceed based on the reaction. It was a bit stupid.
Lu Shaye, the PRC's ambassador to France, has sparked a diplomatic row by stating in an interview that ex-Soviet states are not sovereign entities. As predicted, they condemned the remarks. And the PRC's foreign ministry is trying to do some damage control. If there was any shred of doubt over China...

The EU wasn’t “friends” with Russia, so stop those nonsense. Hungary is the proverbial exemption of the rule.
