      It does, I know, I live in the USA. And with all the deregulation the Republicans push for we’re right behind them

        Mid terms are coming, do you know what needs to be done? The power and responsibility relies on you to save your country from the orange menace.

    This was predicted pretty early on. Planes need maintenance and specific spare parts constantly and these are highly regulated. At some point, there’s just nothing more to cannibalize and that’s the end of it.

      If a plane crashes in Russia and all the media is controlled by the state would anyone actually know it happened?

        One maybe not. However there are not a lot of airplanes (or pilots) and so it doesn’t take too many crashes before people start noticing they can’t get airplanes to someplace at all, or if they can they have to book early because they are all full (and soon after they notice seats they have booked get canceled - they won’t know it is because the plane crashed, but they know they can’t get there)

        The people who knew they were going on that flight.

        But with the epidemic of people falling out of windows that’s an easy problem to solve.
