Of course, there are multiple reasons besides greenhouse emissions like lead poisoning from 100LL fuel, reduced noise emissions (which is the number one complaint of airport neighbors), less chance of burning to a crisp on an otherwise-survivable crash, reduced flight training costs, etc.

In this day and age there shouldn't be a reason why we can't upload up to the minute NOTAM information to an airliner "on the fly"! (no pun intended). Providing the ability to present up to the minute info to the crew that is relevant to the arrival airport and/or alternates while en-route so that it can briefed before the approach phase commences should be a priority for any OEM and for the airlines!

Cheers! The travesty that Ryanair has created by outsourcing its workforce to third parties is coming home to roost . . . Norwegian better take notice!

SWA employees get treated well and their job satisfaction in turns leads to superb customer service . . . along with the no BS fees for baggage, cancelations, etc. The SWWA winning formula is not hard to figure it out, yet somehow most companies miss on it completely by putting shareholders first, then customers second, then employees dead last . . . I guess the emphasis on MBA curriculum these days is all about cost-cutting and making greedy shareholders happy? If so then that's certainly not a winning formula for a healthy economy and society in general.

So in Canada there are no displaced thresholds due to the runway not able to sustain the continuous impact from landing aircraft?
