Re: Trump Bars Cruise Ships From Visiting Cuba

Old Cuban exiles that have lost "everything" (despite now probably being richer than most people in Cuba) because of Castro want the island to suffer until it changes back to a US puppet government. Correct its a vendetta really and for the rest of the American population a case of hurt p...

Re: Trump Bars Cruise Ships From Visiting Cuba

This had made me, an American, into a proud COMMUNIST. Democracy is dead. At least Communism cares about people. The way we treat Cuban exiles is the same tyranny that we fought a war over if not worse. "All men are created equal" my a**, 1M in a swing state should not hold the rest of the...

YYZ being YYZ. Not sure what you're saying here....AC flies through T1 at YYZ and its quite a good experience, of course with a somewhat long walk/belt ride from the gate to the baggage claim.....what do you find problematic about YYZ?

Re: Boston-Toronto: AC, WS, or PD?

AC and PD's Q400 have the extra padded seats . WS's do not . One can book using debit card on a 3rd party site if WS's own website wont accept(which just seems hard to believe). I should have been a bit more clear: It isn't booking that's my concern. It's on-board purchases. A friend who lives near...

Re: Boston Aviation Thread - 2019

Re: Is Cuba a big fail for airlines?

Huge numbers of Canadians visit Cuba every year for vacation. Nice all inclusive resorts for really cheap. Even a tiny little airport like YQM has 3 flights a week to Varadero Feb-April/May.

Re: Where would we be right now if Hillary won?

It doesn't seem to feel that way. Deep in my heart I think that a narrow Hillary win would energize Democrats to turn out and "give her the Congress she needs". Just my weird feeling about things. What you feel is one thing but the reality is different. If voters didn't give Obama the Hou...

Re: Where would we be right now if Hillary won?

How delusional am I? Very...and this is coming from a Democrat. Had Clinton won, we wouldn't be talking about a House takeover, but instead talking about how many more seats the GOP added (possibly close to 60). The party in charge of the White House almost always loses seats in both chambers of Co...

Where would we be right now if Hillary won?

I don't the Democrats would've blown the Senate if she won and the rest of the results would be equal to this. The GOP would be forced to actually moderate if she won, ushering in a new age of greatness for the US. Now we are irreparably broken.

How delusional am I?

Re: Discontinued airline routes you like to see its return

DL ATL-SWF. When I lived near SWF, it was much easier than dealing with going up to ALB, HPN, or BDL for a nonstop. There are a lot of people who prefer the ease of SWF and would fly out there if they had more service that wasn't geared towards vacationers. BOS-ISP, while short as the crow flies, wo...
