      Airplanes

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      Ok, it's a lot clearer.  The issue is now why that wing dipped.  Some articles mentioned wind gusts. CRJs are quiet and nimble, for the most part.  I don't like their wing swept back and I don't like the engines at the rear hugging the fuselage.  It's noisy in the back.  When it comes to this more commuter-like size, I now much prefer the Embraer 190/185 product. This tells me to keep that safety belt fastened tight.  We've seen people get out quickly when the plane was right side up ... AF's Paris-Toronto A340 and the JAL A350 in Tokyo that collided with a commuter plane on the runway.  Getting out when you're upside down must have been much worse.  I'm thinking some of these folks will have PTSD from this.  I feel for them.

      What is this 10.5% sales tax and what are the extra add-ons funding?  Unbelievable. You can find an $8 to $10 omelette at a dive in a nondescript part of Houston.  Food there isn't ridiculously expensive.

      $29.99 + $29.99 + $22.99 + $32.99 + $3.99 (soda) = $119.95 +10.5% sales tax = $132.54 The rep added a 20% tip ($26.50).  Total bill was $159.04 for 4 people. Lucky only 1 person had a soda, the rest of us drank water. Where was this, I have not seen in years an $8 omelet.
