I thought British Airways had become a low cost airline, I mean they are almost there… Apart from the cost part, they have!

It is important to understand that this is not a vaccine in the way the general public accepts the term. This is a brand new and experimental technology which is being “field tested” on billions of people. I’m not entirely comfortable with that concept and neither am I comfortable that if, in 1 year, 5, 10, 15 years time a percentage of those who’ve had the “jab” develop strange illnesses or auto-immune responses. It’s not like the pharmaceutical industry has a glowing record on producing perfect drugs, is it?

I figured that we’d live to regret off-loading the heavies. Also thought it might be 2023 before airlines started moaning about not having enough landing slots for the passenger load and then more delays in getting 777x orders filled. Those complaints might start next year.

What is even worse is that Boeing is charging way more that SpaceX for a ride to the ISS AND Boeing got about twice as much as SpaceX to develop their heap of junk and STILL messed it up.

Never used them but heard all the horror stories. American’s version of Ryan Air. I hope that they are the bottom dregs of the travel industry and that the buying public start understanding how they are effectively being insulted by the company, not the cabin staff, every time they get on one of their planes and stop using them. The realist in me knows that there’s a mug born every second that will fall for the “cheapest” option. Just look at how “successful” Ryan is in Europe.

Tell me, are you this terrified of TB or any of the other equally dangerous illnesses that can be spread by sneezing, coughing etc. I’m going to say no you’re not. In 2019 alone, TB killed 1.4 million world wide. Extrapolation is that it kills over 1 million a year and TB is the only thing the US is interested in should you be seeking a visa.

This is just a sub-orbital hop. Really, why are Blue Origin so far behind SpaceX? They are now threatening the survival of SpaceX rival, ULA’, and the Vulcan rocket as Blue Origin can’t deliver engines. Pitiful performance by Blue Origin.

I’ve seen this a few times recently, this aircraft is, apparently, for sale. If your pockets are deep enough to buy it and run it.

I heard comment that the aircraft was actually closer to Vilnius when intercepted and so if this was in the name of “safety” then the aircraft should have continued to its destination. Therefore what happened was clearly an act of state sponsored (and organized) terrorism and harsh sanctions definitely need to be applied to Belarus.

Do they really think they will get business travel back to pre-pandemic levels any time soon?
