Same. That’s out of my company’s limits.

At least 17 people were killed and more than 100 injured when an Air India Express passenger plane repatriating Indians stranded by the COVID-19 pandemic overshot the runway in heavy rain near the southern city of Kozhikode on Friday, officials said.

Nice! Buddy of mine is flying those over at PSA.
I was going to chase the airline dream but COVID and a medical condition conveniently hitting in March ended that for good. I’m sticking to lawnmowers with wings for the time being.

Nice, good for you. I wouldn’t mind being there right now but Bluestreak is good right now. All things considered.

The Mormon airforce is getting kind of uppity and becoming pariahs during all of this.

That’s hilarious.

Sometimes I wonder how a non-unionized pilot group will fare against the unionized groups after Covid is done with. Personally I felt like Skywest was my #1 because of that and the large choice of bases.
