  2. #avgeeks of the #fediverse, #Mastodon, have any of you been able to bridge any of the #aviation #avtwitter accounts that migrated to #Bluesky? I'm trying to add bridged accounts like Flightradar24.com & Jon Ostrower's #bsky accounts but not having any success. If any of you have successfully added (followed) their bridged bsky accounts here, can you show me how/share the correct account. #AvgeeksofMastodon #avgeeksocial

  4. "Concorde guzzled four times more fuel than a jumbo jet like the Boeing 747, which could also carry nearly 500 passengers (Concorde's cramped seating arrangement could carry just 100). And a round-trip ticket in the 1990s could cost as much as $10,000 — about $20,000 in today's money."

  5. [Harvard Law Today] - Why flying is miserable
    By Jeff Neal

    Ahead of the holiday travel season, Harvard Law graduate Ganesh Sitaraman argues in a new book that deregulating the airline industry has led to higher costs, less choice, and more misery for the flying public

    "we’ve now lived in the deregulated system for 40 years. And what we ended up with was a system that failed to achieve the things that the deregulators said it would. We now have a system that is less competitive than it was even during regulation. "

  11. [Executive Traveller] Qantas reveals its most Instagrammable plane ever
    By David Flynn

    "Around 100 painters were involved in completing the livery, working with 130 stencils to replicate a detailed design by Pitjantjatjara artist Maringka Baker which tells the Dreaming story of two sisters who traverse remote Australia together, covering vast distances to find their way home."
    ...
    "In the tradition of the Qantas Flying Art series, the aircraft itself is named for the artwork Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa (literally ‘the two sisters creation story’), although all subsequent A220s will be named after native Australian wildlife."

    I like and appreciate this way more than Condor's fugly jail stripes. Sorrynotsorry. UnpopularOpinion.
