The Return Of #Supersonic Flights Might Actually Be Real
#BoomSupersonic's test #plane could pave the way for a new supersonic #airline
The private test plane is a one-third-scale presentation of the startup’s planned Overture airliner. #AmericanAirlines and #UnitedAirlines have already placed orders for the Overture, so a successful test flight next week would be a monumental step toward the return of supersonic commercial flights.

Your #history books won’t tell you about the largest wildcat strike in U.S. history.

In the U.S., unionized federal employees - including postal workers - are prohibited from going on strike, advocating a strike, or even talking about a #strike. Seems like a glaring #1A issue, but… whatever. I’m sure it’s fine.

Despite this, postal workers in 1970 went on strike… and won massive gains. There’s a lesson here for workers in the #railroad #airline #USPS workforce.

Well, did you know the real trick for a real sleep?

The body needs to be perfectly flat. I think I read some science article a few years that "proved" this

When I'm on those 15 hr flights, I take the ouch in #economyclass because I believe spending the big bucks for #businessclass is not 100% flat. Well, that's my reasoning

In #Japan they will have flat seat overnight busses‼️

But while full-flat sleep in and of itself is a plus, it might require a few compromises in other areas. For starters, it’s unclear whether or not top-tier passengers will be allowed/able to get in and out of their bunks while the bus is in motion, which could mean an onboard bathroom would be inaccessible except for when the bus is parked. It also doesn’t look like it’s possible to sit upright once the seats have been set in full-flat mode, so you’ll be stuck in a horizontal posture until the morning, or at least until a highway rest stop break
However, overnight bus seats don’t recline all the way, so while it’s more comfortable than trying to sleep on a plane, it’s still not as restful as full-flat slumber. That’s going to change for at least one bus operator, though, as Kochi Prefecture’s Kochi Ekimae Kanko is getting set to start Japan’s first-ever full-flat overnight bus service this spring

I know a lot of right-wing political hay and conspiracy slinging is being made of the DC mid-air. If you have a serious interest in the crash, I suggest you start here:
