Delta Boeing 737 MAX•
Delta is the biggest US airline that doesn’t have the Boeing 737 MAX in its fleet (which I’d consider to be a positive, personally, since I prefer the A321neo to the 737 MAX). For a couple of years now, there have been reports of Delta being in negotiations with Boeing for the purchase of 737 MAXs. It looks like this is now as close to becoming a reality as ever, and we could see an order as earl

American Airlines July•
It's a mess, but a mess that can be fixed with money. As a result if American somehow doesn't fix it, it's a huge failure of management. So it's also a test of the new management team whose orders are normally to not spend a dollar more than they need to . Continue reading ...

Wrong Way Tesla's rollout of its controversial "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) beta has challenged, to say the least. Countless videos have shown Tesla vehicles breaking traffic laws , veering into the wrong lane, getting dangerously close to pedestrians, and making the wrong turns.
