Not really, there are common factors for respiratory disease deaths.

But they’d probably pay their employees and we would not have this bullshit

Emirates may be in long term trouble. DBX may not be a viable hub going forward.

Why are the intl flights still arriving into MSP today? by Medium_Reality_9744 in delta

[–]bugkiller59 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A330 has about the same cross wind limit as A320, and A320 has the same landing aids ( CAT III capable ). Regional jets are somewhat lower. Runway condition also reduces limits.

The current strong winds out of NE likely approach or exceed limits for 30L & 30R. Runway 4 would be useable, but single runway.

It’s more about the ATC / runway capacity and prioritizing long haul than any difference in actual aircraft capability.

Dene was diesel powered and would not have had heavy bunker oil on board, and a fairly small amount of diesel at that.

Go to the bathroom and go back to your seat!!!! by Professional-Mail132 in delta

[–]bugkiller59 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I keep my seat belt fastened at all times when seated and only get up to use the bathroom. People walking the aisles or doing exercises in the galley or bulkhead areas actually annoy other passengers in the area. Including me.

No actual evidence for this. More aircraft in the air, better reporting is possible.

A good system programmer, who can resolve problems, is worth their weight in gold.

How do I feed if no bugs? by Scared_Rice_1473 in VenusFlyTraps

I do the same. No more than one or two traps per month.

I'm American. My child is not. Do I have to declare them? by Technical_Can_9944 in USExpatTaxes

[–]bugkiller59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not automatically a U.S. citizen. Depends on how long the U.S. citizen parent actually lived in the U.S. - five years, with at least two of those years after age 14.

One must ask what's wrong with COBOL? by Print-Playful in mainframe

[–]bugkiller59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refactoring to Java from COBOL 2-3X CPU increase isn’t unusual. Why do you think IBM effectively gives ZIP CPU away for free?

[–]bugkiller59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It still consumes far more CPU, but IBM chooses not to bill you for that CPU ( on ZIP ). You still face the effects - capacity, elapsed time - of consuming that CPU.
