we are in the "in your face" phases. the chinese care little for what any of us think or do. now be like good little sheep and cattle and complain about high prices, eliminate all tariffs and continue to off-shore every last manufacturing job to china. and when unempolyment in the US rises to about 65%, it will be the US gov'ts fault and they can drop helicopter money to all. this used to be an aviation blog. i never knew scale of economics and greed were characteristics of a super critical wing. butt they are.

i don't think the airlines know what they want. today. yesterday was different. tomorrow will be different. routes change. destinations come/go. BTW lets not forget to CHANGE THE AIRCRAFT TO MATCH THE OUTDATED INFRASTRUCTURE. lets put some flaps on those wings so we can park these planes at the gates we built in 1968. maybe one day we can land one on the Ford. airplanes are meant to fly. if the airlines don't like it, build their own. rant\

when i hear stories like this, it reminds me of my own stupidity or lack of situational awareness. mid 1980s. a co-worker and myself were flying from tulsa to houston for the offshore technology conference held annually. i met my co-worker at the then version of security. as it was an early morning flight, i greeted my co-worker by saying, "hi jack".

in the 2010 motion picture "the big short" there is a scene about the mortgage industry convention in las vegas. while that is a financial based motion picture, if you take "SEC" out and replace it with "FAA" the scene is just as accurate. let's cover another subject, when will the NTSB investigate flaming teslas? answer, never. you're an idiot.
