A noble quest indeed

I’ll swap you. You can have the Australian summer and we’ll take your winter.

The FAA administrator was pushed out, the TSA administator was fired, the Aviation Security Advisory Committee was eliminated, and the NOTAM system needs an overhaul.

We've had 4 accidents in two weeks, and this is their priority? A name change for the broken system?

Intuitively you’d think that at a certain point the cost per passenger mile would get low enough to make it viable for airlines, but the market for it is so much narrower than for lower capacity aircraft (eg A321XLR) regardless of cost that it might not be enough

Lovely country you have here @simonswiss.com

TUI spotted in the wild

The problem is that airlines deal with more technical debt than many devs could ever imagine, but if someone could sell a way to interface the legacy systems that everyone depends on with modern practises I think it could be a situation where everyone wins.

There needs to be a startup that makes the digital (web, mobile, etc) experience of airlines not absolutely awful.

The barrier to entry with OOP is doing its job then /s

So what you’re saying is Virgin Australia is becoming Virgin Blue again? 🙃
