Old Soviet joke: "Why was the flight delayed for an hour?" "The pilot saw a problem with one of the engines, but it's okay now." "Wow, you've replaced an engine in an hour?" "No, we've replaced the pilot."
Good news for Air Canada and WestJet! Sounds like they've figured out sixth-freedom flying can offset the decrease in cross-border traffic.

If you care about science at NASA, this is royally sucks. arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/…

"Each bit of information transmitted by Starlink produces enough profit to fund the transport of a picogram—about a trillion atoms—of cargo to Mars. A million tonnes of cargo on Mars will cost ... [the] equivalent to total Internet traffic in 2024" -@CJHandmer in @palladiummag
Drones should blink an ID number on their running lights at 15 baud so two seconds of blurry cell phone footage can identify it. Doesn’t do anything for nefarious uses, but most owners don’t want to be UFOs! Maybe all vehicles should do that, perhaps in IR, as license plates.
DOD IG report finds Boeing over charging the Air Force for some of the parts on a C-17 sustainment contract, including a "7,943‑percent markup, more than 80 times the commercially available cost" for soap dispensers. dodig.mil/reports.html/A…

Sometimes people talk about how aircraft cockpits look the same now as they did 50 years ago. Part of the reason is the FAA prescribes a lot of UI specifics, including which colors and patterns are ok! This seems weird to people in B2B SaaS but it's normal in aviation software.
Here's what I think Boeing's next CEO should do... hangar.com/how-to-fix-boe…
As of later this year (October 5, specifically), the commencement of the design of the Boeing 737 will lie closer to the Wright brothers' Kitty Hawk flight than it will to the present day.
The future of flight will be radically safer and more accessible than today.
It's 5am in New Hampshire, and we're preparing for autonomous flight.
Planet Fitness really taking aggressive payment recovery to another level...31 retries on a failed CC payment.
The FAA 5G rollout plan: 1. Grimace and ignore 2. Growl at the FCC 3. Go through the motions of compliance 4. Grovel for delay 5. Get to grips with it
There are so many interesting parties on the ballot this election in Portugal. Pro-euro, technoliberal -> Volt Pro-euro green -> RIR Eurosceptic green -> CDU Animal-rights-focused green -> PAN There's a party for that™️
