If Air Asia has an obligation to buy 66 A330-900 from Airbus, does Airbus in turn have similar obligations to suppliers?

How can a crew work on as a team in a situation like that? It's unsafe and unprofessional. The captain's judgement is needed at any moment. That position, which is also Aaron's, I understand. I only argued about the harassment part. Maybe the airline needs to fix "no wanking!" boards in t...

How can that be? CO2 emissions are a direct link to the quantity of fuel burned; so, if the fuel consumption goes down by 70%, the CO2 rejected goes down by 70%,
