Looks like the pilot noticed trees in front of his path too late, pulled up too hard, overstressed the plane, and the plane broke. The fact that it happened to a gender reveal party is immaterial. On another note, I'm ambivalent about gender reveal parties, but honestly what's wrong with people want...
Jump to postMax was closing in on Perez 3-4 seconds a lap as well. Max generally had a higher pace. Perez in the end couldn’t even secure 2nd place… He was pretty harshly done by race control for doing 60.6 kph in a 60.0 zone in very wet conditions. That's OK with me, it was nice to see Gasly get some time on ...
Jump to postI gotta say can Max win the next 10 races. I think with the margin he got pole he will win this one handily. As much as I am not a fan of him or RB. Can they win all the races. They can if they continue playing team orders. Calling Max in first for slicks when Perez was leading after having gotten ...

Jump to postHonestly, what the SWISS crew did was tame by comparison to the picture of the KLM crew standing on top of their 747. At worst they should be reprimanded or suspended but nothing more serious than that, similar to what the KLM crew received.
Jump to postBut that's a flawed pricing model, it might work in theory but it doesn't work in practice. What AA is doing wrong is not accepting the fact that it's flawed and try to make things as they want them to be instead of how they really are. Considering how much profit American makes from using that pri...
Jump to postIf the airline wants to profit on the DFW-RDU portion then they should have priced the LAX-DFW portion reasonably. There is no logical sense that LAX-DFW-RDU (across the whole country) would be cheaper than LAX-DFW other than price gouging and greediness. You could argue "well this is capitali...
Jump to postHonestly, apart from the one in Dunsfold, why should the other 747s be preserved simply because they wear retro colours? The 747-400 was introduced too late to wear the BOAC & Negus livery, so all you're doing is preserving a 747 hulk that has little significance to British aviation history. At ...

It seems she had to deal with another plane needing an amendment to their plans while Southwest was waiting on the runway & the Citation was fast approaching. Things caught up with her rather quickly.
I wonder what really triggered him. Doesn't he realize that he was flying on an airline that has a Muslim majority staff?
Jump to postI wouldn't call Josh Cahill unbiased, really. It seems that airlines who did not meet his demands get poor reviews - this was based on experience of one of my acquaintances who worked in marketing at one of the airlines he had reviewed.

This thread is quite timely, given that Malaysia closed down the Good Vibes festival after Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, protested against the country's anti-gay laws and then kissed the band's bassist. Homosexuality is illegal in the country, and punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Th...

Jump to postHere in Malaysia you can choose between online renewal or face to face processing. For face to face, it will take at most 2 hours to get your passport, but you’ll need to come as early as 6 am to get a spot.
Online, it will take you 3 working days before you can collect it.
Well. The race was exciting enough, although all the penalties being thrown out does leave a sour mark - especially the ones given after the race which vaults Fernando Alonso up to fifth at the expense of Sainz and Hamilton.

Jump to postNot updating the main terminal at KUL, instead focusing more on the low cost terminal next door. Now the main terminal feels like a dump with the infrastructure looking worse for wear.
