1/2
Yesterday a Delta Airlines flight from Seattle to Salt Lake was delayed until a passenger got a notification on the Delta app saying that there was no possibility of making the connection to the second leg of the trip from Salt Lake to Albuquerque and advising the flier to cancel that flight.
The flier did, then was refused boarding the flight from Seattle to Salt Lake and told that in canceling the second leg of the trip, the entire booking had been canceled.

It is humbling and healthy to be occasionally reminded of our insignificance in the vastness of the universe and its utter indifference to our wellbeing and happiness.

“The system detected that two markers along the planned route had the same name - even though they were in different places. As a result, it could not understand the UK portion of the flight plan.

“This triggered the system to automatically stop working for safety reasons, so that no incorrect information was passed to Nats’ air traffic controllers. The backup system then did the same thing.

“This unfolded in just 20 seconds.”

Today's "headline of the day" goes to. . . .

"No word yet on the condition of the passenger."
Really? I thought the others would have killed him.

Okay I think I've narrowed my choices down to:
Vaya (if I can find one)
Nano 20
Raven 20

If anyone has experience with any of these, I'd love to hear your feedback

Hey travellers, tell me about what you like to use for your personal item when
I've been looking at the Allpa 28L but they're not easy to get in Canada. I'd love to see your suggestions

‘The Times’ on air chaos

‘Government sources and aviation officials ruled out a cyberattack. Sources suggested the issue could be the result of an incorrectly filed plan by a French airline, although Nats would not comment.’

It is amusing that ‘blaming the French’ is still a first port of call. I am surprised that it was not reported as ‘an EU airline’ 😳

Of course any incorrect plan should have been rejected rather than crash the system, but…

Is Korean Air starting a new industry trend, by asking passengers to get on the weighing scales, before they board for flights, claiming it's for the sake of "aviation security"?

Are we seeing a future for , where passengers' fare (partially) are considered based on their weight?

@anne_twain That just wouldn't happen. You can't Zoom into Parliament - all of the laws reqiure a physical presence. If the MPs have to be there, then some of their staff have to be there (the ones who don't, stay in the electorate for the most part). I don't think it's useful to focus entirely on eliminating travel, although that is part of the picture. Australia needs electrified high speed rail, and for the small amount of air travel that can't be eliminated, we should encourage the use of recycled biofuels and possibly hydrogen in the future, although I am for the most part a hydrogen sceptic.
