Yup, he did.

First he tried a kiss, got rejected, so he went for a hug that sent him flying.

You got your answer for the 20 minutes.

But we do have a show named 52 minutes, and it is usually a little bit shorter than 52 minutes…

140m high and 200km/h or 500 liters/second. Close look on YT for the non GVA people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt9GQSCcCU

I really don’t get it, you can feel its power when you get to the barrier. This thing reeks of “do not get closer” feeling.

Yet, that dude decided to kiss it. He could have won the 2023 Darwin award but he was very lucky.

95% of the time it was every time.

But you’re right, a mate is an A320 captain and unruly pax are 98% of the time somewhat intoxicated. The 2 remaining % are just stupid people thinking they are above anyone else (like rushing to stand up right after landing to be first out and have a smoke on the tarmac while waiting for his family, yeah true story).

Locals sometimes call it “the German island of Mallorca”

And regulations for less pavement, concrete etc and more green and trees to provide shade and cooler temperatures.

You can live in extreme temperatures, provided the infrastructures are built for that (ie. Ouarzazate in Morocco).

But with the US urban planning and all for cars policy it won’t happen before it’s too late.

I think the problem is about slot management and the way they work.

In ATC, at least in Europe but FAA is probably more or less the same, your flight can get delayed for whatever reason (meteo, atc capacity, airport etc…).

In case of a delay you get a SAM, slot allocation message with a new EOBT (estimated off block time). You can shorten this waiting time by various means, you will get an SRM (slot revision) and in order to be certain that you won’t miss this slot (or get a new worst one) you have to send a ready message.

Ready means door closed, ready for pushback. And that’s the problem here, that’s how you get stuck in an airplane on the ground, cause you’re « ready ».

That sucks, but a crew will generally not board a plane if they have a huge non negociable slot. But if they think the slot could improve so they can stick to their schedule, you’ll probably end up waiting in a shitty overcrowded cabin.

And sometimes it’s the airport doing shit like pre boarding a plane so they can pack passengers for another flight at the gate.

Wow, the more I write about how the industry work, the more I hate it. Time to change career.

Nothing for now. He asked for liberation until his court case, justice said no.

So he is still sleeping in prison. Apparently he and his colleague gave contradictory statements the IGPN (the police of police).

I believe he will get time, but probably not that much and all the prison time made before the court count as well.

So, protests incoming for the verdict in what, one year ?
