this ceo has to go. out of touch and infected with trump-mouth: tendency to mouth off foolishly and not-factually. Translation: you led them that way, and that was the best you could do.

Hmmm. the giants don't have many away games in asia, and EVA does not fly domestically in the US.

i got fired in the PATCO strike years ago, and i still recall how strained the working conditions, how backward and outdated the equipment was and how venal and rotten the management of FAA was then and from my friends still doing controlling these days, is still thataway now. No suprise the lack of eager controller trainees then and now. I lost my three-dimensial mental job when i got fired, i miss it, and still i recommend that work to anyone qualified to do it. Such satisfaction working approach or departures, making the pilots safe (not unlike herding cats)but feeling oppressed from the working conditions. Amazing so few crashes, but plenty of runway incursions.

there are flight dispatchers intimately involved in communication with each airborne airliner from delta, and for them not to mention to delta management this occurrence for the oversight it turned out to be is delerection of duty both to passengers and the carrier. A further delerection would be either not having a policy in place for this exact occurrence, or having one, not acting on it to serve the paying passengers stuck on that island while the flight crews were properly taken care of. The hotel the crews went to certainly has catering and food service and trucks to carry the food and water required for the stranded folks,

airbus 310's are at best relics, no matter the total time, cycles and number of landings. This is a bad image for a progressive country having a malfunction that strands the PM far from home. I think boeing and the canadian government should put their heads together and find a spare 787 for Justin to go galavanting about the planet.

can this be a lagging economic indicator pointing specific economic slowdown as effected by FEd calculating interest settings.? i think so..... This number of pilots perhaps leaving is about 80 crews, quite fewer flights and/or more groundings . UPS is a damn good job with good money, good equipment and strong financial future..... , except lately.

theme and variation of this disgrace is the corporate history of Air Canada.

what a joke such a small number by comparison to the distress caused and lack of care about passengers. Pretty darn clear how much american airlines cares...... none or not much......
