you’re right there is a big difference.

unless Iran are idiots (which who knows) the drones and cruise missiles are going to go toward military installations, government buildings and probably Iron dome, Arrow, David’s Sling installations. This is “shock and awe” not level Tel Aviv. The Gaza Missiles were all ballistic so you never knew where they were going or what they were going to hit. So yeah I would much rather be in TOV tonight then when Gaza was launching missiles.

IF and it’s a big IF Iran decides they are going to hit high rises and residential areas in TLV then the bottom 1/3 of every airlines seniority list will be on the street.

the US and will be involved with the entire Middle East and Ukraine will fall immediately and Europe will have to decide what to do. Protect against Russia or be in the Middle East. Then no one will be able to prevent China from going into Taiwan. There will be no where for us to fly our WB fleets.

I believe the next few hours will be pivotal to the entire world.

Everyone laughed at me when I brought up furloughs are likely soon. I guess I was right.

yeah well if you get furloughed most likely the world economy will go into the dumps aswell. Chances are your backup job won’t be available either. I suggest you go to your backup job now to secure your position.

Thank you brother. The job is a phone call away and I’m grateful for it. It won’t be as much fun as flying jets but it’ll do. Good luck to us all.

Hopefully any action will be resolved quickly before the Middle East becomes another quagmire. Israel isn’t going to hold back and is guaranteed to hit hard if they are attacked in a bigger scale. It’s too early to tell as of today.

I think they sent a daily safety affirmation to their ipads.

He's a troll who doesn't work at United. Probably not even a professional pilot.
