AA leaving SF is hardly shocking. Cali is unfriendly to business with high taxes, micro control of business operations. The crime in SF is staggering which alone is reason to relocate. Try speaking with some of the 400 relocating FA's for their opinions. It will be interesting.

Edwards has a great tour of the facility which includes a tour of the NASA facility. Best to check for up-to-date schedules and availability. Off the 14 FWY about 1~1.5hrs from LA. What history!They have it all. FYI, Palmdale airport is on the way there where the 'Skunk Works' is located. Possibly tours available there also.

Enjoyed your comments, esp about the RR Darts and your MG! As they say...reason the English drink warm beer...because they keep it in Lucas refrigerators.

What is Russia thinking? Consequences of the harebrained Ukraine 'adventure' are immediate...and denial won't help. Any A/C loss will be placed at the feet of the 'West' and/or sanctions. Time for a change in the cockpit at the Kremlin...while a soft landing is still possible.

Yes! Lifetime ban with mandatory jail time should be law. There is enough 'baseline' anxiety as is during travel without a self-important fool assaulting someone on your flight, creating a dangerous situation.

Perfect the system on cargo A/C for a number of years...Once confidence is secured by the flying public, there may be a chance someone's getting on board...hopefully a few of my ex's).

There is so much liability and uncertainty in this industry. It seems in order to persevere you need be dedicated to 'flight.' Great respect for Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun. His is a job I would not want.

346 deaths attributed to the 737 Max. Lessons need to be learned so these lost lives have purpose. I lost a family member to a commercial airlines crash killing 137. Much was learned from it but I don't wish this on any family.

The greatest generation...surviving the depression only to be rewarded with fighting(and winning)WWII. Came home to sacrifice and build an America for their families that is unparalleled...every day I respect them more.
