The comet strike in Greenland that interrupted the Ice Age probably had much of the world’s population on the brink for the better part of a thousand years.
It’s enough that WN is made whole while sharing $125M in lost income with their employees. Southwest is down what? 12-15% of their projected fleet size between the MAX’s and 700’s sold to United?
All of this. Reboots don’t work. It’s fun to fantasize that we’ll hire all the right dudes and pull off the Dabo of the century to get this thing on track. But it will fail. Maybe even spectacularly.
We’re probably due for a dead cat bounce 2020 season with 9 total wins which will prolong the inevitable by one more year unless the BMDs have truly had enough. Otherwise it’s time to just straddle the nuclear weapon and watch the coming Tompocolypse from our front row seats. Bitching all the way of course.
Yes, well he meant something creative by design before the snap, and not VY scramble to victory after the designed play blew up.
I would still love to know what percentage of the 04-05 offense was purely VY improvisation.
There was twin Cessna freight hauler that had a leak in his turbocharger burn through the wing spar out around Vernon. The wing came off at altitude and he transmitted tot the ground pleading for his mother to help him.
I envision a scenario where Herman drove up to work everyday and sat in his car playing Pour Some Sugar On Me on repeat at extreme volume outside of CDC’s office until Del Conte relented in exchange for his preferred morning music of Kenny G or perhaps Yanni.
I guess I’d start with the basic background check of a candidate, and veto him for an inability to quit boffing student trainers while his wife was pregnant. And then look into his actual abilities if he turned out to be an ok human.
Yeah, I think that’s likely. But then there’s the actual time frame to get the thing on the line and production restarted. It wouldn’t surprise me to see it not actually flying in customer service until Q3 or Q4.
There’s no doubt in my mind that they’re still going to build and sell 5000+ Max’s. But this is going o drag the return to airline service out quite a bit farther. Restarting the logistics train for their subs will probably prove to be troublesome.
Boeing should have gone ahead and built a 757 replacement. Airbus has a scaleable airframe in the 321 that they can stretch, re-wing, up motor and design new landing gear for. And they’ll have it market ready pretty darn soon though it’ll never be the field performer that the 757 is.
His results at Auburn were often tepid with Malzahn reclaiming playcalling duties more than once, and Dykes has a long history of good offense. They’re meshing the two very well, but I’d like to see Lashlee do it without a superior offensive mind providing him with training wheels.
I watched a fair number of those UH games and it reminded me of watching Louisville with Teddy B under the guidance of Shawn Watson. Mainly a crap offense with one exceptional player making it go. Usually off schedule.
Obviously everyone has to do that a bit, but the eyeball test told me that UH was overly reliant on it. It’s not like OU where Riley dials up good stuff all the time, Hurts can’t read a defense and has to ad lib his way to success. It was ad lib or punt quite a bit of the time.
Well, the other issue is the logistics train behind them. A marked reduction or even temporary halt will probably have some effects for subcontractors that drags things out even further.
