does anyone have access to some data on what the reserves required/available have been over the last year for all the diff categories?
When trying to decide what to bid, it would be very useful to know, for instance, that my category is right at mins every weekend starting 15 May and on, and I won't be able to drop a weekend trip if I get it after that. Just an example.

I see the problem. Needs more top rudder, on the bottom side.
Is this the new MD88 avionics, that are supposed to replace the current version, which replaced the previous version on American's jets which replaced the DC-9's? If so, how did you ever find enough control authority to invert the thing ... oh nevermind, the rudder. Another couple of complete cockpit upgrades and we'll probably have the bugs ironed out so you have navigational accuracy better than 3 miles and 2,500 feet. Autoland will probably still take you off in the weeds if a beer truck drives within half a zip code of the localizer antenna.

Idiot in Germany is packing rooms telling folks that jetliners can be hijacked from an Android phone.

... and for you Apple fans ... he's right. My wife can use her phone release me from my last round trip and put unlimited green slips on my schedule. You need to get one....

Define area: Set detailed filters related to the airplane, for example activate something when a plane is in the area of X kilometers or when it starts flying on a predefined altitude.
Visit ground: Crash the airplane.
Kiss off: Remove itself from the system.
Be punckish: A theatric way of alerting the pilots that something is seriously wrong - lights start flashing and alarms start buzzing.
By showing a sample scenario of a drunk pilot flying over Berlin, Teso mentioned that the Android application also uses the benefits of the accelerometer and therefore a remote attacker can transform the motion of its smartphone into physical changes in the plane's movement.
It's amazing to discover that aviation - an industry where safety is of vital importance and every physical element has one or even two fail-safe mechanisms - is failing to secure the onboard computer, the heart and brain of the plane.
Teso has not shared too many details about the tools he used to effect the attack, as the vulnerabilities have yet to be fixed. He says that he was pleasantly surprised by the reaction of the industry to his research and discoveries, as the companies didn't try to deny the existence of the problems and have vowed to aid him in his research.
He says that older, legacy systems harking back to the 1970s will be difficult, if not impossible, to fix, but that modern ones will easily be updated with patched and modified firmware and software.

I had a question about the just announced Milan-JFK route being given to Emirates. I thought I saw somewhere that it is a Alitalia route authorization being given to Emirates. How does it look that a SkyTeam member and JV partner is giving routes to our competitor and competitor of the JV airlines. Not only that with Alitalia giving up this route, will it still count against the JV ratios. Now that Alitalia isn't flying it, will that be a decrease in their portion of the ratio?

Our government could collapse their entire region anytime we wanted to, as hard as we wanted to. Their "power" survives by our charity as long as our ignorance on this can hold out. When we really have to start cutting, and we will, and I mean really start cutting, not this fake sequester reductions in growth rate "cuts" but really cutting, their days are numbered.

Emirates is using fifth-freedom routes that are part of the US-EU Open Skies agreement. The only approval EK received was a temporary approval from the Italian authorities...
Basically Emirates is flying NYC - Milan - Dubai and can sell each leg individually...

Emirates is not using Delta or Alitalia route authority, their Milan-JFK flight also isn't part of Skyteam or the Transatlantic JV.
