Re: Verge: WOW! Returning as US IAD-based US Airline

The only reason this airline have 1% of survival if they got very good cargo contract. Drove past Icelandair 757 at IAD couple weeks ago, and it was all fish being unloaded in white plastic boxes

indeed, why it not used on planes (in case fire in midair, not in this one)

As I see you are also on aviaforum.ru masks would get stolen, and Aeroflot won't pay it

My understanding is that the FAA has not mandated grounding the MAX, in fact, they could be seen to be recommending continued operations. With close to half the fleet grounded due to decisions of other regulators and individual airlines, is there a risk to the FAA's reputation and authority as the ...
