He's a lovely guy, although I have only chatted with him over a beer, not hired him. If you search the forum you will find more info.

It appears Lion Air had a similar incident the previous day in which the crew were able to shut down the MCAS.

Last week there was a dog attack on a man walking two therapy alpacas on a Canberra bike path, resulting in one of the animals being euthanised. This week there has been a happy sequel to the incident. The dog and its owner have not yet been identified.

There are genuinely split views on Pell but Anning's support is limited to extremists. I'm not sure how many of them there are, but I haven't seen any sympathy for him over his being egged yesterday (there were principled objections to the use of any violence against him but no sympathy for his views that were the trigger for the egging).
Cheeky, Victor. I guess 'experience a Caucasian/Hispanic musk' is something you could add to your profile. Perhaps not the first thing that would prompt me to hire you. {MC walks through -10C evening to hire Victor, 'I wonder if he smells weird?']

The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has stopped B737 Max 8 flights into Australia. So far it only affects Fiji Airways as Singapore based Silk Airways (that flies into Darwin and Cairns) had already grounded its fleet. No Australian carriers operate the type.
There's certainly a perception problem with the B737 MAX8. Whether it's a real problem remains to be seen, but for the moment perception is everything. Good news for Airbus and Embraer for the moment.
The United States, Canada and Australia already have similar schemes so as a citizen of one of those countries I'm really in no position to complain, even if the process is tiresome.
Thanks for posting the link. I don't think I had tried to look at your profile here before. I've certainly enjoyed reading your posts here. I don't know if it's just me, but when I tried to check your profile here there was an error message to the effect that you restricted access to it. Your choice of course.
