They're still contracted by the FAA and I believe have to follow the same standards. I don't think that they're a private company is the big issue here.

Woah, a trombone does look like a paperclip, that's crazy
Oh. Nothing related to cancer risk, got it
Why in ground pool?
Idk I figured the cider was a plum apricot mix, not just from pluots, or that pluots acted like plums do... I only had beer that night, but the bride almost lost bowel control during the reception and the bathrooms were destroyed and backed up
A friend got a keg of pluot (spelling? Plum+apricot) cider for a wedding, that did not go well. I guess it tasted good, but there were not enough toilets...
That sucks. It was a nicer ride than any a320 variant I've been in recently. Though they've all been very old planes now that I think about it..
The a220 is really nice to ride in (though weird size with air Canada running them in a 2-3 layout). The engines are apparently a nightmare, but last I heard we're now seeing similar issues with pw's non-geared engines too, so everything is fucked.
The 777 had the fuel intake from the tanks freeze over on approach to Heathrow. I don't think that was an obvious problem: the intake was a flat hexagonal structure of smaller inlets that allowed the ice to form over. The fix was to stagger the smaller inlets so ice couldn't form.
Ya it was military equipment that was not secured appropriately.
What about tejava (spelling?)
Does anyone else feel like we're seeing more military activity and that that activity is taking less precautions with regards to safely operating around civilian traffic?
