Re: Trump's losses in business

So now we have welfare for farmers, the American consumers will face infaltionary prices, and the economy will slow down , with tax revenues plummeting and the debt rising. Seems like the worst US president ever has officially started the decline of the economy with these tariffs. Well, luckily he ...

Re: Trump's losses in business

OK, I am now a 100% sure he is insane, he just tweeted: Talks with China continue in a very congenial manner - there is absolutely no need to rush - as Tariffs are NOW being paid to the United States by China of 25% on 250 Billion Dollars worth of goods & products. These massive payments go dire...

It is also slightly odd to make the pattern with an aircraft from Mirabel instead of Toulouse, but I suspect that was simply a practical consideration; the airspace over Europe is invariably more congested than most of Canada.

Re: Icelandair considers A321neo and possible all-Airbus fleet

From where I'm sitting though, my view is that the longer Boeing delays launching, the more the case weakens as some of these airlines will go for the A321neo, LR or even a widebody. Airlines need to make decisions at the appropriate time for their future fleet requirements to ensure they get them ...

Re: Solution for drones over airports?

This was, despite the fact my team was out rather early, so far a very exciting CL, here is hoping for a great final.

Any big Europe Day celebrations today in the UK?

Re: Solution for drones over airports?

Shouldn't be too difficult. Retrofit a CIWS on to each of the existing LLWAS detector poles already strategically placed around the perimeter of most larger airports. Problem solved. Please see above. You can not shoot bullets, projectiles, missiles etc. on or near any airport. You'ld kill too many...

Re: Solution for drones over airports?

The solution is basically jamming equipment and counter measures. Law shold be simple - flew on Airport Restriction Zone = Drone shot down. This is the only way to stop this. I do not see really idiots/kids/morons flying them - I see at present covert environment activists behind all these drone ac...

Solution for drones over airports?

FRA was closed this morning, roughly between 7:30 am and 8:15 am because of a drone. https://www.spiegel.de/reise/deutschland/frankfurt-flughafen-nach-drohnensichtung-gesperrt-a-1266523.html So far drones over airports seem to be just some kids/idiots/village morons but should we not be prepared aga...

Re: Something wrong with Boeing's safety culture?

While we are mostly discussing the MAX, maybe we should have a look at what came out of Boeing over the last years and decades wrt 'safety culture': - 787, grounded - 748, nearly grounded and big flutter problems - 767 (Tanker) client refused over 2 periods to take up any of them because of quality...

Re: Mueller Speaks: Barr Mislead the American People

So, this report is showing so much the innocence of this caricature of a president he now wants to use a EO to NOT publish it? Dear USA, I really, really worry for you. 'bout time to get your house back in order, everywhere else this guy would be in jail by now. His lawyer just went in prison for 2 ...

Re: Icelandair considers A321neo and possible all-Airbus fleet

So, the CEO says several times in public that they could go for a all Airbus fleet. But somehow Airliners is able to tell us that the best they can do is wait for a imaginary plane in 2025 and holding on to its grounded MAXs. All the while there is not even a authority to offer this plane and the la...

Re: trumps losses in business.

Don't worry, he'll bring the US economy on its knees too. He's well on track.

Re: 44% say wont take MAX for a year?

Once the media moves on and stops shoving everything happening anywhere in the world related to Boeing down everyone's throats the general public will forget and move on. Even websites that say "Equipment: XXXX" don't say "Max" they'll say "73M" or "3M8" or s...
