Yeah, I love how the APs upgrades say minor bug fixes and then your stuck with ads that cover part of the screen.

But if you want to see what the weather is doing in more than 3 spots for your upcoming trips, you'll be on that new p. o. s. for 10 minutes now!
Timbo, check out Aeroweather. Not sure if I paid for the app or not. You can check current and forecast wx for multiple airports. Fast and accurate.

Best weather app is flightplan mobile. Free in google app store. It has a radar feature in route weather where it actually draws a line between departure and arrival airports.

If you have flown a rotation that paid via the 4:30 min calender day, check your time card. For some reason, when they close out they are short 1 minute per day. The company knows about it but they don't seem to be correcting it automatically.

A dinosaur, I know.
But I'm a caveman, so it all works out!

As is sometimes the case, the losses amount to workman's compensation claims which are completely inadequate for the need. I do appreciate our life insurance and ALPA's inclusion in our contract.

Does something like this get a full FAA/NTSB/ALPA-Safety/Manufacturer investigation?

Edit... not sure who has Operational Control when a US civilian carrier is involved in an incident on a US Military airfield on foreign soil.

A US Military base is typically US jurisdiction. Unless there is a political ax to grind, foreign governments are pretty happy to sit back and let others perform the work and undertake the expense of accident investigation for them.
That's not to say foreign governments wont try to make some money off someone else's misfortune. We had a biz jet stuck in Mexico last month that a few of our pilots might have seen sitting off the taxiway partially covered by a tent. The Mexicans refused to allow any of the US manufacturer's employees / safety / engineering / mechanics to help without obtaining various work permits and authorizations. Then there can be environmental impact claims (which gets amusing when the locals cart off all the wreckage before your salvage team can get on site) the fuel, particularly avgas, mostly burns or evaporates.
