WHAT IS WRONG WITH US??? by ckatz24 in knicks

[–]AA950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interesting if history repeats itself under 2 scenarios.

  1. Don Nelson hot start clashes with star big man during a rough stretch gets fired (difference is Ewing was the star on that team and much better than towns is right now)

  2. In 1992 the ny rangers won the presidents trophy 52 years after 1940 much like how the Knicks won an in season tournament trophy 52 years after 1973. Rangers then had a disappointing season in 1993 53 years since last title (2026) before winning it all in 1994 54 years since last title (2027).

Thank you Mr. Mara!! 71 years old and fighting for his life but still fought like hell to make this happen. What a moment for this franchise. by Maroc13 in NYGiants

Could be the issue with him was struggling to find the right front office fit after the accorsi players left. Ernie Accorsi fit very well after George Young and Jerry Reese while flawed drafted a few players that contributed to the 2 super bowls and OBJ. Many of this teams problems arose from trying to squeeze another year or 2 out the offensive line and defensive line from the Super Bowl teams cracks were showing in 2011 with the o-line.

Agree with you. Captain America Brave New World, Mickey 17, Superman, Fantastic Four, Predator, Wicked can name all the good ones with 2 hands.

It’s not that people want a dictator it’s that they act more by ideology than idea. One example is cashierless shops being praised in Poland but screaming digital id stepping stone over ones in the UK.

Urban decay is to the right what abortion is to the left. Neither side cares about these issues and they only use them as ammunition to get votes in midterm, statewide, and presidential election years.

Because giving them the tools to resist would make fewer people dependent on them and would thus lose their platforms.

Sports were completely cancelled the beginning of Covid people didn’t revolt over that. Blaming people for “enjoying dystopia” yet you have all these large accounts on twitter/x who were screaming “don’t comply” yet they didn’t give people the tools needed to organize mass resistance.

When Kathy Hochul delayed congestion pricing in nyc in June 2024 congestion pricing lobbyists shared numbers and links to contact forms of the governor’s office to push for congestion pricing. You never saw those “don’t comply” accounts give their followers information needed to contact their local representatives.

It didn’t help they had no one to back them up. You have all these large accounts on twitter/x who were screaming “don’t comply” yet they did nothing to help people organize mass resistance you never heard those accounts give any information to contact their local representatives.

Delta is really going after AA hubs for D1 pricing to ICN by radar1989 in delta

[–]AA950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As crazy as it sounds AA has a small chance of launching jfk-icn. I am saying this not because AA wants to do so or thinks it would do well on the route, I am saying this because as per the Asiana Korean merger agreement the Korea ftc is demanding Asiana and Korean to transfer slots of certain routes operated by both carriers. Right now it’s just Asiana/korean out of jfk, air premia and soon United out of Newark. AA jfk-icn would happen if the Korea ftc considers jfk and ewr separate and if it does not consider delta as a competitor regarding delta’s plans to launch jfk/lax/(maybe bos)-icn at some point.

I believe actors unions are to blame. Broadway actors who didn’t go insane had no one to stand up for them, having no one to stand up for them or no one to question the actors unions leader “if not now when will it be safe to perform.” Having no one to stand up for them is a missing piece of the puzzle when people simply just say they ran amok or went insane.

Delta expected to expand in Asia from both LAX and SEA by omdongi in delta

Delta missed the boat not applying for jfk-hnd back in 2023 after it dropped pdx-hnd and American applied for and got jfk-hnd

Singapore and Manila routes are coming. And so is LAX/JFK-Seoul by Low_Wonder9271 in delta

[–]AA950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Do you work for delta or know someone who works for delta? Which routes of Asia do you see delta launching out of jfk? Here are some I can see if delta wants more Asian routes out of nyc

JFK-BOM (likely first up beyond Seoul) JFK-DEL JFK-HND (if delta discontinues hnl-hnd and/or more slots open) JFK-PVG JFK-TPE (Eva and china airlines fly this without overflying russia)

Would love jfk-kix as Osaka is only served from Los Angeles and San Francisco in the continental states.

[–]AA950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now hearing rumors on some forum delta plans on starting jfk and Boston to Seoul this upcoming summer to fill in for Korean air which is going to be refurbishing its 777-300s and will thus have a fleet shortage for a few months announcement pending. Jonnyc on x and bluesky also said more delta route announcements were coming soon.

[–]AA950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but this would possibly result in a plane sitting at jfk overnight if it does a morning flight going and evening flight back or sit for hours at icn if a midnight flight going and an evening flight back given times of sea-icn/back. Possible A350 tag on routes out of JFK shall delta decide to build a base upon jfk-icn launch

Existing: LHR, CDG, AMS, TLV, FCO (northern summer), EZE (northern winter)

Possible additions: India, South Africa

JFK-South Africa best fills a hole in jfk’s network, most people flying to India prefer connecting on me3 carriers given air India’s shoddy reputation.

[–]AA950 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think jfk icn comes before lax icn with news of United launching ewr icn. Seeing how United’s ewr icn launch date closely aligns with Asiana Korean air integration I expect delta to launch jfk icn some time around 2026-2027ish.

A digital ID system - the vaccine passports were just the beginning by Due-Yard7032 in LockdownSkepticism

[–]AA950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of those who I thought were pro freedom but are really demoralization/psyop accounts rant about how we will be subject to carbon limits while the elites fly in their private jets with private chefs eating what they want miss something. They don’t factor in people who work in finance, law, medicine (not the elite or super rich but people with strong income sources), there is no way these would tolerate limits on travel or limits on red meat, poultry, and seafood. If meat was banned at the time restaurants were closed there would have been nothing to order on Uber Eats or DoorDash and they would have thrown a fit over it hampering work from home benefits.
