The price is one of the few things that's always available when choosing between flights. Journey time is the other, and people will pay for a shorter journey or shorter layovers. Strangely, some of my colleagues have 'paid'

It's the fine (thin line) version of the normal one. I've never noticed any difference other than the line width. Either barrel can shatter if you bite hard enough. They both seem to survive long periods of little or no use bett

> most planes can't dump fuel anymore This is true but irrelevant to this crash. Most commercial jets are smaller (A320, 737 etc) and can't dump fuel. Long-haul jets like the 787 do have the capability. https://www.b
