Niagara splits into two columns for all of its lists. Otherwise the experience is the same, and it's really clean.

If this is true, then this is probably a great ruling for JetBlue; they can buy up the scraps at bankruptcy if Spirit liquidates.

by eganist 3y ago
Possibly, but it's not as abrupt and obvious as with JetBlue/Spirit, who both compete in the exact same market in modestly different ways. Alaska and Hawaiian have limited regional overlap with flights from certain west coast citi

by eganist 3y ago
I'm probably oversimplifying, but Alaska + Hawaiian creates a larger regional competitor to e.g American, United, and Southwest on a more local scale where most of their routes are complimentary (the two weren't substantially comp

A much more interesting link is between crime and atmospheric lead emissions, which looks similar to this but conforms much more tightly. I'm more inclined to buy that than interest rates considering we have more direct evidence betwee

Were they? I thought boeing was self certifying elements of the MAX like the door plugs, do you have something showing the FAA inspected the door plugs? Everything I'm reading says the FAA is moving to divorce the certification process

I'm not sure that this merits the same kind of discussion that the MAX situation is garnering yet. Cracks happen, there doesn't seem to be a systemic issue, it was in one of four layers of glass (the outermost), and the plane la

You're assuming power comes with an assumed guarantee of use. OpenAI has vast amounts of power with the data they're collecting, but the likelihood of OpenAI using it against any individual is small enough that an individual could
