this weed of an airline has factors against sucess, survival and relevance. Route system, choice of used aircraft over newer ones, initial size , employee experience, and public acceptance. Not too many people want to fly where the company is offering flights. Competent competitors chose not match route offerings, and Eastern has chosen to operate where passengers would have to take a leap of faith at a time when folks are not in a rush to jump. I will say the livery is shiny. I will not say it is attractive.

EL AL is a necessary to Israel as is the water company, the power company: secure travel and conduit for tourism. So what if it is nationalized? What could replace it, the security structures for passenger safety that are required for this airline to exist safely?

factually, American has only put into hiatus a few city-pairs that are not smart to operate for a while, using the 787's long range utility. FLights come and go depending, so medical and political winds may change a bit and we get resumption or something like it to South America and Asia.

very tight compartment, very cold, low O2 content, and a gynmastic event upon final approach , gear down. What is the fascination with this event?

this whole mess of national airlines and their range of problems are on display here. An israeli nation airline is a national security matter, so negotiate out the problems. El Al could use a lifeline here until better financial times, and that is what any government is around for, Labor or Liqud.

what is the thinking behind BA acquiring both the 787-10 and the Airbus 350-1000?

it ain't a democracy up there in the skies: pilots submit to controllers with or without radar to keep seperation and sanity while flying. No entitled butt-heads get their way in that scenario. Play by the rules or get on your bike and pedal. period. Does this guy not believe in 4 way stop sign rules or red lights or traffic lanes, or even stay on the right side of the road? If he goes to england, does he demand everyone else drive as if they were in america?
