I agree except for the part about politicians getting rich on a government wage. Most, if not all, are already rich and making money in other ways, not just receiving their salary. Bribes help too. It's like this for both parties.

That's actually pretty cool. Thanks for posting the article. It seems fitting to have a chief engineering officer aboard..

I'm surprised they are getting anything. It's not like they're currency amounts to much outside of Iran. I'm just thinking this off the top of my head. I don't know what they're exchange rate is. I know they aren't the richest country in the world.

It lost on the military airlift side to the Lockheed C5. We Air Force "Port Dawgs" use a lot of civilian aircraft to airlift cargo. Plenty of 747's, DC10's, 737's, DC8's and L100's back in my day.

Airbus did consider a cargo version of the A380 too late. It was just never designed to be an airlifter after all said and done.

I guess you're not a pilot. Most pilots I know, including those I've served with in the USAF start out learning to fly at these small airports. It's not until they need to get higher certifications then they go to the academies. Also, unlike some countries, just because one has flown in the military does not automatically land them a job with an airline, but it does help.

Destroy the airport and take away jobs from the few people who work there. Wow, great idea. It's probably some idiot who bought a house near there recently and doesn't like the noise and light and wants to stargaze easier from their back yard. I hope that deal falls through.

Where would you like to sit, masking or non-masking?

Wow, they're just now figuring this out? When I was in the Air Force this was why a lot of people either got out or changed career fields after reenlistment.

Flying for a living isn't a job, it's a lifestyle. At least that's what I was told in F/A initial training. It really didn't feel like a job at all.
