Jump to postWell with high oil and flight reductions, perhaps that will off set pilot shortage here soon.... For guys with less than atp hours maybe. Guys with atp+ are still a rarity for the majors and especially regionals. A lot of pilots retired early due to Covid plus the training and time it takes pilots ...

I would rather pay more at the pump than pay a lot as is and use Russian oil. The United States has plenty of oil reserves and untapped oil to be sustainable on our own oil or our own and the Middle Eastern oil. I don't know what percentage of oil used in the US is Russian though.
Jump to postJapan is still very strict on foreigner entry so I would be surprised in ANA or JAL were the first to announce.

Jump to postI'm just glad my old G37 has decent gas milage, I get in the upper 20s and put 10 gallons in every other week. For me all my driving is to work and back, I am lucky enough to be able to walk everywhere else. Even with 10 gallons of 91 it still sucks, gas is right at $3.80 a gallon where I live.
Jump to postFrom a source at AUS an Asian flight is very close and once the first one is announced there will be two or three more. 1 is reasonable, but upto 4? Far-fetched, IMO. I see QR and JL as reasonable possibilities for the next 5 years. The only realistic possibilities in East Asia are either JL/NH and...

Ukraine should never release names of captured POWs until their is a peace treaty. That means families won't know if their son was killed, captured, or deserted. Creating such uncertainty will accelerate the motivation for a coup. Ukraine is doing the opposite. Captured soldiers are given a phone c...

My concern is that immediately prior to and after the meet, Putin will know exactly where Zelenskyy is. Nothing that sorry excuse for a human does will surprise me any more.
