Flying home from Boston today. First plane broke. Delayed us about an hour. Of course that hour was just enough that we ran into thunderstorm s in Raleigh. Been circling for about 30 minutes. Don't love it.
It's not me, it's someone else.

The tires are rubber. Should be fine.

every plane has a faraday cage for strikes.
We've been diverted to another airport for gas.

The thing I chuckled about is the article discussing how great this is for the people who want those spaces now because they get to take their bags for free. There is NO FUCKING WAY that's still free by the time this is standard in airplanes.
The airlines are already clearly sick of dealing with this shit every single flight, the budget airlines are already charging, and the ones that are on the market will do it for the added revenue.

They have to keep it free, because tracking a lot bag takes them forever + costs them lots of $$.

They won't have to track your carry on.
The budget airlines watch you walk on and, literally, charge you right there if your ticket doesn't contain a charge for the carry on in your hands.
I just saw a video last night of a guy breaking his skateboard in half and then throwing it out because Spirit wanted to charge him $80 to bring it aboard.

that was my point. The alternative is too expensive.
I mean, flying Spirit... you know what you signed up for

I get that, but I disagree.
They'll up the charge for bags stored below, and then start charging a lower rate for carry ons.
It's a way to make profit RIGHT THERE and other airlines already do it. There is no way in hell that will stay free for much longer.

You couldn't pay me to get on a Boeing 737 right now.
The FAA is abandoning safety for insanity.
Uh, maybe we should have Congress give them a jingle?

That's... a dumb statement. There's like thousands of people in the FAA, the people still have to be able to do their duties. So maybe the person pushes paper somewhere or something not so critical.

Flying, and the TSA
That's...an assumption, which makes your stated-as-fact-statement a dumb statement.
Even the paper pushers can affect safety.
BTW, I'm totes for hiring people with handicaps. I don't understand prioritizing it.
There is no logic to any of that, only PC nonsense.“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”
The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which claims “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.”

You often hear about the fatality rate per 100 million or 1 billion passenger miles in transportation statistics, but over the last 15 years, U.S. airlines have averaged less than 1 fatality per passenger *light-year* traveled
In 2019, US airlines carried 762.84 billion passenger-miles.A light-year is the distance a beam of light travels in a single Earth year, which equates to approximately 6 trillion miles
Crazy.

I have noticed there haven't been any big airplane wrecks in like a decade.
I didn't want to say it out loud and jinx it.
