Very interesting piece.

Well reasoned.

Sanctions are the effect, not the cause of the industry's problems. It's sort of like claiming you're an orphan after you kill your parents.

You are a very good analagist, flyingiron.

Man, you went dark with that one.

Problems with the Russian airline industry caused sanctions? What?

Thanks @rwellner98, that was really interesting. Hope the mods don't quash it.

"Sanctions are red herring" might be more appropriate IMHO.

Although admire the "all in, go big go home" attitude with the Menéndez brothers reference.

Okay I have no idea what movie that's from, but it's the only thing I want to watch now based on that short clip. Whatzit from?

All of this is worrisome, to me, at a larger level.

Bollywood movies are known for their 'zealous' use of action scenery. Check out their take on the war

It's not a war...it's a "special military operation" to cleanse Ukraine of drug addict and nazi leadership. I think that's the PC way to say genocide

Ugh, all I hear are tech QA leads, recruiters offering me jobs in west virginia, and of course, warnings from the microsofts that my PC is infected. I'll just have to live a life devoid of sliding horse action scenes if that's the price I have to pay. Sigh.

 

[Tantalum]

Yeah why are they always in West Virginia?

 

[Therookguy]

Where are ya'll flying too when the nukes start going off?

IT jobs? Maybe a coincidence, but FBI has one of their larger facilities near Morgantown, or used to. Good food down there, pretty scenery, no hurricanes. You could do worse.

They may have room for a few at 6Y9. If needed, I’ll be at the remote, family compound.
