I disliked the L1011 because of the middle 5, and I'm actually amazed in hindsight that airlines carried that configuration over to more modern aircraft.
Jump to postDoes anybody know the latest schedule for when National Hall will no longer be accessible, pre-security? I am one of the few people who go to DCA just to hang out, pre-security, in that space. It's good for plane-watching with kids, especially if the weather makes Gravelly point unpleasant.
Jump to postfrom the article, it wouldn't actually be named 'wab'. that's just the name for the project until they come up with an actual name.

To me, losing the individual water bottles is the bigger story here. I get that it is more environmentally responsible to do away with small, individual sized bottles, but I am less a fan of having water given to me in a plastic cup (which can't be any better for the environment than a recyclable p...
Jump to postI base this conclusion partly on a map in book by REG Davies. While the map is not incredibly detailed it seems like all CX routes to HK from Europe passed at least north of Hainan, meaning that CX always briefly flew over Chinese airspace. I would be very careful when judging the actual routing of...
Jump to postI would hardly called this "insignificant", if (**IF**) the facts in the article are accurate. If an altercation led to a two hour delay, that is definitely a notable event and a major lapse of professionalism.
Jump to postI wonder if there is a silent market on Allentown-BOS. Likely most in the Lehigh Valley either trek to EWR or drive up straight up to Boston without a nonstop, but ABE could potentially pull from Lehigh Valley and the Reading metropolitan areas, and micropolitan areas in PA adjacent, and the northe...

I'm not sure the new government will have any impact on the education sector in NE.

Jump to postYep. How are airlines going to meet these standards though? Well, the ICAO target mentioned in the article you linked is more aimed at aircraft and engine manufacturers. But they've been continually making progress on that front over the past decades anyhow. As somebody else pointed out above, the ...

Jump to postI think people are being unfair to the OP - the person has a point. At some point, the diversion rate becomes too high for an airline to make a good-faith claim that it's a non-stop flight.
