Jump to postAlso, this is from a thread on Reddit: "I flew the ILS 6 circle to land Runway 1 in a Hawker at TEB about an hour before this plane went down. We experienced about a 20kt loss at about 100ft over the ground. If I remember correctly winds were about 340@20G31." Which reddit sub? /r/flying ?

I am appalled to so many posters laughing at $20 oil. lol. remember when oil prices were over $100, saying $30 oil would land you in an institution.

Jump to postI guess thank god it happened on the ground. Would of been really bad if it failed on the next landing attempt.
Wowser.
not that surprising with the way the US government is trying to stick their fingers into all foreign business in the air industry. They could not ban them outright so md it more difficult. That and the fact that far less people want to visit the US for the foreseeable future. It is not about the US...
Jump to postFrom a cut in service you extrapolate to it must mean they are bringing the A380? I believe there is a difference between wanting something and thinking something might actually happen.

Jump to postI would not care one bit about sponsored logos.
In fact, I would rather see sponsor logos on jet bridges than have to pay higher fees.
All for it, especially on common use gates.
If the airline owns the gates... then by all means let them do as they please.
Why are they striking again? Aren't they already some of the most well paid employees in the world?
