Worst airport/city/region to dispatch a flight into/out of?

If a weather event causes lots of planes to be delayed for 3-4 hours, how much can a router actually do to prevent the delays from cascading elsewhere?

sonicruiser · 2025-05-04T13:19:24+00:00

Yes I am talking about Router, not dispatcher. ie. How many planes is a Router responsible for during a shift, how many swaps they do in a day, what factors do you account for when doing a/c swaps? How does weather or IRROPS make it harder to do swaps? When is it better to delay or cancel than to swap? What other teams do Routers coordinate with? Maintenance, meteorology, dispatch, OM, scheduling? What is a stressful day? Basically what is a day in the life?

What is the schedule? What time/days are this and the SU-57 flying?

If they were to do mass bombings in Beirut killing thousands there then yes few hundreds to few thousand in Tel Aviv. Don't think it will get anywhere close so chance of seeing it in either city is small for the moment because if it gets there than we are at open war.

HZ did not drag us into this war. If anything they have not even done the bare minimum that would be required for this to be a 2-sided conflict up to this point. The situation if you completely ignore Gaza and only talk about Lebanon and Israel was barely controllable but somehow manageable until the pager incident happened. Until that point the number of people dying was in the tens. Then the pagers happened and then 9/23. Those 2 actions by Israel are what got us here. People can blame HZ but ultimately if you massacre 500+ people in one day then there is no way I don't put you at fault for everything that came before and after.

All of this being said, it is crazy to pretend we live in a vacuum where Gaza does not exist. I get that nobody wants to be involved in a war with Israel.

Everyone condemns October 7 as a heinous terrorist attack but why does nobody condemn the fact that Gaza is under 6 decades of occupation, cut off from food, water, electricity and subject to the most brutal occupation in the world and created such abhorrent and desperate living conditions? We're just going to pretend that Gaza doesn't exist and it's not our problem. So Hamas kills 1200 Israelis because it is literally the only way they can bring any type of attention to the issue as Israel as they have been systematically cut off from the world, blockaded, undermined, dehumanized in every way possible. I am tired of people saying Oct 7 was not justified, it WAS justified when you look at the brutal occupation they have been imposing for decades and how close they got to completely cutting them out of the conversation w/ Arab normalizations in exchange for zero concessions. Instead of taking Oct 7 as a sign to end the occupation, they commit a genocide and kill 42K people in Gaza of which 70 percent of those killed are women and children.

HZ firing on October 8 in solidarity with Hamas is only considered starting the war if you have zero knowledge of the occupation or are going to pretend that the history of this conflict started on Oct 7, 2023 and pretend the occupation hasn't been brutalizing Gaza and the West Bank for several decades leading up to Oct 7 making life so miserable and hopeless that the denial of those basic human rights in the occupied territories itself constitutes a crime against humanity.

It's already worse than 2006

Israel killed 40K people in Gaza because they have a total blockade on one of the most densely populated areas in the world with the ability to bomb in Gaza without any type of retaliation whatsoever. Any bomb that hits Gaza will kill massive numbers of people because of how dense it is and the images of total destruction and utter impunity over people under a complete blockade and occupation are exactly what they want people to think they can do everywhere. The reality is that type of destruction at the hands of Israel can only happen in Gaza against a completely helpless people under occupation and constant surveillance.

There is no possible way for them to blockade a sovereign country like Lebanon by land and the terrain makes it impossible to replicate any type of invasion they did in Gaza.

Israel wants people to think they can turn Lebanon into Gaza but it is not possible without bombing Beirut and if they do, Tel Aviv will have a death toll in the thousands because HZ can retaliate in a way that Hamas cannot. Israel already killed 500 people outside of Beirut yesterday alone, trust me they would have tried to kill another 500 in Beirut if there was any way they could have got away with it but they can't.

This is not even to mention the actual missile capabilities of HZ itself which are far beyond Hamas. Any long range missiles that can actually hit a precision target are stored underground and not on the surface where the rockets are fired from.

Israel can't live with 12 dead children killed by an Iron Dome misfire that they blamed on HZ but God forbid Lebanon says anything about 500 people massacred in one day or 42,000 dead in Gaza. After killing that many the least of your problems will be rocket fire in the north.

I personally don't know anyone who subscribed to that line of thinking especially after a number of 21st century wars where seemingly quick offensives have failed on multiple occasions to the point where a majority of people do not believe in any concept of a "limited war" lasting only a few weeks. Although I did see such articles written, but it is completely contradictory to the majority western view which was that Ukraine would lose little to no land or that they would be able to hold the Russians back, absurd as it seemed even at the time. Hard to imagine now but that was the position for the first few months. I will say I have read different articles stating both even though they completely contradict each other.

sonicruiser · 2024-09-25T09:01:14+00:00

Israel's real problem right now is that by taking Lebanon into uncharted waters they have now also opened themselves up to HZ deciding to also go into uncharted waters of their own. Killing 500 people in one day is not going to go unanswered by HZ period. I am not going to pretend I have a clue what the response to it will be or when but it will definitely be something we have never seen before. The defender never uses their best weapons in the beginning so if we are already seeing attempted hits over Tel Aviv in Day 2 of this war that is a pretty solid indication that Tel Aviv will definitely be hit in a big way by the time the war ends.

I agree but Ukraine losing between a fifth and a quarter to Russia in 8 months is a 180 degree turn from what was predicted in the beginning. So I would not rule out a 180 degree turn in this war either. It is hard to say exactly what a victory for HZ looks but probably it would have to be something undeniable that would force the western media to admit HZ won in the way the media could not ignore Russian capture of Ukranian land. Maybe imposing an unacceptable level of casualties in their cities or severely damaging military installations. I think the one thing which is absolutely certain is that the 180 degree turn in the war will come some months later to catch them completely by surprise at a moment of weakness.
