Boom is a bad name/bad marketing for the aircraft. It's like calling a car a Nova and then trying to sell it in spanish speaking countries. We all know what the "boom" is referring to, but I see people taking the boom as - crash, boom!

You obviously confuse injections of realism with “hate”. Clearly, Einstein must have been a hater, what with that speed of light limit thing and all.

Skywest and Mesa will battle each other to the death on this one. Bragging rights alone will be enough, no pay needed.

Above… supersonic and long range don’t work well together except at seriously high altitude

Between that and the debt incurred during the pandemic that has to be paid back, I’m expecting the contract of our dreams any day now. My guess is that the LOA raise is going to be in place for a while before we actually vote on our next contract. Hope I’m wrong though.
