The end is near!!

Read it carefully. No where does Boeing suggest they are building it for single pilot ops or desire to do so. It’s strickly what airlines executives stated they want. What they really want is no pilots!

They want a aircraft that burns no fuel also. Not going to happen anytime soon. Ron Allen wanted the same engines on the 757 as the 767 but Boeing never made it happen.

As long as the ticket price if $3 less they won't care. Most passengers don't even know what kind of airplane they get on unless they pull out the seat back emergency card.

This is true but only to a point. There was a rapidly growing number of people refusing to travel on max aircraft leading up to the grounding. If it’s in the news enough people start to pay attention.

Lax connection to Australia

So friends of mine have a business trip from Atlanta to Australia and they're taking their kids.

Their company booked them with 130 layover in lax. Is that enough time?

Are we now automatically released at noon prior to a regular X day? I know it's that way for a golden day. I think I remember reading it's true for a regular X day now. Just wanted to confirm I'm thinking correctly.
