    Cornell ILR is trying to build out a job board [0] like this -- but I feel like it's failing because it's simply an aggregator of other job boards, with limited value add. [0] http…

    I get it that this is satire, and that they're giving DB a hard time about their constant delays -- but on the other hand there's EU Regulation 261/2004 for compensation for delaye…

    I agree with you that FAR covers all airspace. There's an interesting case on airspace (over an Indian reservation) & an emergency landing that's winding its way through the courts…

    Interesting - will this open a back door to having Chinese EVs on US roads? I would assume some sort of kei truck loopholes would have to be found to solve state-level registration…
