Where do they get the hydrogen? If they get it by reforming natural gas, it's not that "green" after all.

This evil and stupid idea gains traction because the twits in the Front office decided to fire all the crew who refused the clot shots. It'd pure evil.

It is more than retirements, that airlines can plan for. It has been Commiecrat COVID19 clot shots required that forced so many pilots out. That was partially Buttkicks oun fault.

Denver's airport is very far out on the Prarie to the Northeast of Denver. It's a long commute with $5/gal gas, among other things. They want people to work menial jobs out there, then they better pay them well. Do that, and they'll come.

I found, with American at least, the only seats you can reserve are either cheap, terribly cramped or 1st class & extremely expensive. To get a decent seat, you need to upgrade for about $40. The only airline that offers reasonable seats for a reasonable price is Southwest, but they don't go to Miami, only Ft. Lauderdale, about 75 miles from where I live.

The 757 is a narrow-body plane, I believe. The 737-200 is almost the same capacity and range, so if they go with the 737, they get a maintainable aircraft with little or no downside.

What a mess. I call commercial flying these days as a refined form of torture. I won't do it unless there's no viable alternative, such as a cross-country trip.

I think the builders would know how to fix it if it failed.

The airlines always claim they need to overbook, but the airline I use most frequently (AA) when I have been traveling always asked for the volunteers BEFORE boarding the plane. This avoids most of the problems.

That fellow was lucky that thing wasn't more poisonous than it was, or that he was no apparently allergic to it.I wonder, didn't he realize what it was in the first place? You just don't pick up a scorpion.
