Paris to London is not the market aimed by A380s. Loading and unloading times and taxiing in these high density terminal areas for a 40 minutes flight when half of it would be climbing to most economical flight levels and descending for initial approach fixes with holding patterns when necessary would kill any benefit. This is what happened to the Concorde who had special departure and arrival routes in order to avoid lengthy time in lower flight levels where fuel consumption is the higher. Also number of engine start cycles have consequences on the engine lifetime and between mandatory overhauls.

Maybe more than you think after Arden’s decision to segregate the Māori natives from the European immigrants. Two different societies with their proper administration for health, education, finances, etc. She may be in favour of the Canadian solution adopted for the Inuits with the creation of the Nunavut territory. The major difference is Canada is 35 times the size of New Zealand.

One of the major problems is the storage of these aircrafts. Most of them have been parked at Suvarnabhumi et U-tapao airports in Thailand in high humidity environment. I was amazed while taxiing close to these aircrafts how much mildew was on their body, especially around the plastic wrapping taped to the windows, windshields and other parts of the aircraft. It would be interesting to see the inside condition as well as the cockpit and the electronics bays.

What the difference between a gun and a syringe. The final result is the same. You have the freedom to spread the infection because the vaccinated have become the super-spreaders.

At this moment who are the people who break the law. All the people who uses their “authority” to trample the Constitution, the Charter of Rights, The Human Rights, etc…NOBODY has the authority to break these constitutional laws, whatever the reasons. Anyway al these dispositions start to show some cracks, either due to economic failure and demonstrations against vaccine passports. The US congress and senate disclosed that their members and staff were exempt of the vaccination. Also in certain s countries, police forces are also exempt of vaccination as well as professional athletes and members of the US Postal Services. This virus is so smart he knows how to stay away from “essentials” people.

Last stats about Israel, Iceland, Gibraltar show the hospitals are filled at 80% by fully vaccinated people. Last stat from Public Health Scotland shows the majority of deaths in hospitals are fully vaccinated patients. These vaccines are just like papering over cracks. It hides the symptoms which is worse than having real symptoms and be able to quarantine at home. The viral load of vaccinated people is 250 times more than the unvaccinated. Most people who have recovered from Covid will have strong antibodies until the end of their life. During the SARS epidemic in 2003, blood work showed some old people who got infected by the Spanish flue in 1919-20 still had strong antibodies. Let’s move on with our lives, watch people smile instead of hiding behind total useless pieces of fabric and get lungs infection.
