Some other thoughts: 1) Preventative maintenance on large units is planned 5-6 years out and in Texas typically takes place in the fall/winter as that is the lowest demand. 2) These units cannot be brought up (quickly at least). 3) Sev

I really appreciate the reply! Definitely going to pick up Cagan's book. At my employer the Product Manager is the CEO of the product. They detail the roadmap, get input from clients, drive the vision of the product, etc. I don't

I have been struggling to keep notes effectively. A lot of my notes "expire" a few days after taking them, but others I will need years later. For most of my job I take physical notes. I don't love it but it's easy for m

Frequent flyer programs make a lot of money for airlines but so does flying. Credit cards are also a huge money maker for airlines. The article is looking at valuation, not actual revenue. It's kind of like the idea that certain routes

Exactly. Until it's part of the suite it doesn't have Google's full backing and no guarantee that they won't kill it. I use Keep to share lists with my spouse but even that I don't put anything important into becaus

Spotify makes me miss Rdio. The Rdio algorithm for finding new music based on an artist, song, or album was really fantastic while Spotify just gives me a playlist of similar songs in the same genre as my “radio”. I know Pandora incorporate

The core problem is that the airlines fixated on returns and their stock price with little focus on disaster planning. They cut costs by slashing their frequent flyer programs, buying more fuel efficient planes, and for American, they cut s

It's not impossible for SAM sites to incorrectly set a target. During the Gulf War an RAF Tornado was shot down by a Patriot missile that had incorrectly targeted the aircraft. Not long after, a US F-16 pilot reported he was targeted b

The outage in Midtown was somewhat of a freak thing. And if you look at the math around it, in a city of 8 million ~70k customers without power for ~5 hours. That's incredible. Is ConEd's network the best? No, there are always imp

If Boeing had wanted to play ball on an NMA aircraft, United definitely would have purchased them. Instead they abandoned their smaller 787 variant and didn't pursue NMA at all, leaving the door wide open for Airbus.

I'll just add my $.02 United is definitely targeting very high spend customers for their highest public status (Global Services is invite only). You can fly every other week on a coast to coast route and not qualify, even with $600 far

It's actually more of a pragmatic decision than it is one of safety for Flyadeal. They were slated to take the 737MAX deliveries starting in 2021 and with deliveries currently halted, there is no way that will happen (especially if the

Kickbacks, plain and simple. For example: My firm requires we use a corp booking engine. That engine charges a fee to book a ticket online or over the phone. We get a slight discount on fares and they in turn give a kickback each year to my
