Flying in/out of U.S., Singapore or Eva.

Alaska Airlines flying from West Coast to East Coast.
Alaska Airlines is a breath of fresh air. Good for a mid flight dip in the Pacific too.
If you mean their airplanes with the removable door plug then yes, but more like a blast of fresh air, no?

Re: Essentially Monthly Income Credit Issue + rant

I have been on marriage visa, monthly deposit, for 5-years. Any issues with immigration has been of my own making or lack of communication skills, or misunderstanding what they are asking. On several occasions, they have allowed me to slide by on some documents. I have nothing but respect for offic...

Re: Future energy sources?

Whistle Canada produces 548 million tonnes of CO2 every year. It requires 31-46 trees to compensate for 1 tonne of CO2. Canada requires 25,208,000,000 (taking the higher number of 46) trees to offset our CO2. The Canadian Boreal Forest has an estimated 500-600 BILLION trees! That means we have enou...

Re: Future energy sources?

Interesting read here. Energy guru Daniel Yergin: «I'm sick of the energy transition discussion» Daniel Yergin is often called the most influential energy analyst in the world. The American author has a clear answer to the question of whether the age of oil is over. https://www.nzz.ch/english/energy...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

Nobody here is investigating. We can only speculate. Further information indicates that the emergency power generator didn't restore power to the vessel's disabled propulsion systems. Disabled propulsion means a dead rudder, and a dead rudder means no steering. Dropping the anchors was the next best...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

The safety guidelines when the bridge was built almost 50 years ago probably didn't factor in the quadrupling in the average size of vessels or the expansion of port facilities at Baltimore. Unfortunately, the development of any safety edicts was probably given to the USCG who, in my opinion, is an ...

Re: Baltimore Bridge collapse

It would appear following an Engineering report that they knew how unsafe that bridge was IF the supports were damaged. Sadly ZERO preventative measures were in place to ensure the pier bases were protected.seems it was an accident waiting to happen and it has, now the sloping shoulders and the fin...

Re: Big increase in air fares

If you've done the Amari stopover before, then that should work ok. That hotel is super convenient with only a 10-15 minute walk to your early morning flight check-in for UTH. Getting a metered taxi from Suvarnabhumi should be a breeze. You probably qualify for the free shuttle bus service to DMK, ...
