Can only be negative, just a matter of how bad.

If it is just Ukraine, sadly the rest of the world will move on rather quickly in my opinion.

If Putin really is determined to rebuild the old Soviet Union as Biden said: "He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to, in fact, reestablish the former Soviet Union"
Then this is just act 1 and the real pain to Europe and the world is yet to come.

And keep an eye on China....never let a good crisis go to waste.

Schedule change on the first leg ? Leg to DFW was cancelled on the first only leg on day 1. DH to Lax to catch up with day 2 … any reroute pay due?

China would like to quickly shift the world focus from Wuhan to Kiev.

Wrong. China would like to shift the world focus from Kiev to Taiwan. Hookshot is spot on.

Why would China want focus on Taiwan? They seem to be slowly preparing to blockade it and just declare it a part of China someday soon. Seems they would love to have the world keep focus on Ukraine, Putin and anything else then what is going on in Taiwan. JMHO....

Short answer - probably not. We generally get reroute pay once we get extended past the original end time of the rotation. What happened to you looks like 23K and I think DFW was affected by a travel waiver so they could do it again under double 23K. No matter what, submit to the ACE app to have the scheduling committee see if it is indeed PWA compliant. Who knows, they might find something.

Its not a matter of “if” but “when” China makes it move on Taiwan.

Do they take advantage of the worlds attention focused on the Ukraine or do they wait and see how the West responds? Either way China will eventually make a play for Taiwan.

When is anybody's guess - China plays the long game.

Scoop - 15 years of China v Taiwan “exercises” complements of USN. 😱

And now for something completely different
 
Anyone else have trouble “selecting” items with the IPad/IPhone on various company Apps? I have two recurring issues:

My I-Phone often will not allow me to enter a city code in the JS section of MiCrew.

Wtith myIdlisting on travelenet my IPad will not let me check the “I accept”. boxes.

Very frustrating and I have tried closing and reopening apps etc - Nada. Not sue if this an Apple touchscreen glitch or a App issue. Any thoughts? Anyone else experience this or am I just a hopeless Luddite?

Scoop :confused:

I can't change any of the settings on widget weather. Everything outside of the settings tab seems to work fine.

China is playing the slow game, watching the US political/economic mess, just biding their time. They are slowly westernizing, but trying not to make the same mistakes we are making…
