little notice the va law that passed and trump took credit for it was passed when obama was president. trust me I know it very well. that's how I get benefits.
Seems CNN begs to differ
Trump signs VA reform bill, making good on a campaign promise
From the article:
The VA scandal during the Obama administration engulfed the department, leading to the resignation of Secretary Eric Shinseki after CNN uncovered the existence of a secret scheduling listat the VA in Phoenix.
The new law gives Shulkin and future VA secretaries the power to get rid of employees who break department rules and increases whistleblower protections.
Shulkin pushed for this kind of reform bill during his confirmation process and in the first months of his tenure, arguing that the department was “still in critical condition” and more accountability was needed to improve the treatment veterans receive.
Glad to hear it has improved no matter who was responsible for it.

Anybody remember seeing this as a kid?
I remember the red dots and white triangles on am radios. Never knew what they were there for. Ignorance is bliss

Hmmm. Seem to remember some history about the Red Army conveniently having to stop on the east bank of the Vistula to refit and rearm, just in time to watch the krauts raze the city during the Jewish uprising.

The current administration has made no bones about driving fossil fuels out of business by any means possible. Never let a crisis go to waste.

I didn't state otherwise.
But I think from your condescending analogy it's quite easy to grasp the origins of your ire.
Leave me out of it . I just posted the story. I'm not convinced it's a dumb move.
i don't know what it means...other than it's an interesting development.
My apologies. Didn’t mean to upset your morning. Just tried to offer a different view.

i don't know the truth about what exists in Russia as far as maintenance...but I'm fairly certain they have a few huge airports where maintenance crews exist. I'm sure they can take care of aircraft, man and fly them. I would question how they would acquire spare parts that go beyond basic maintenance....stuff that the current sanctions would quash. But given their growing connections with China, India and Iran, the world economic map could look quite different in 8 months
It cost them nothing to do this....it is not yet clear what the gains are.
Pretty big assumption. It’s not like taking your 1970 car down to the local mechanic or Boris’s World of Wheels. As the aircraft got more complex so did the maintenance. You can’t just run down to your local Jets Are Us store or order from the Jet C Whitney catalog for parts. I’m sure they have a very good maintenance teams but without the parts they’re fucked.

Because he gains nothing in reality. He has no access to maintenance for the aircraft, crew training etc. They will make great gate guards or practice airframes for CFR crews. Great looking paperweights.

Not real sure, but my best guess would be from the back of a C-130 somewhere in the SEA Wargames 64 - 75.

I wouldn't know about leased or owned....definitely insured.
But it's not money, IMO. Those corporations, whoever they actually are...whoever has controlling interest of major airlines, can't just replace 500 aircraft with a check from an insurance company. I doubt they could replace 10 very quickly.
That's a shit ton of flights affecting who know's what in the bigger picture?
If the airlines themselves had no problems dumping state of the art aircraft fleets (Delta grounding it’s entire B777 inventory ) what Russia did was simply a show of force. SoCal and other areas are full of a/c that are in flyable storage amd could be put back into service relatively quickly.

I would imagine that the a/c seized were covered by insurance and more than likely leased as opposed to outright ownership.

Putin is taking a page out of Castro's playbook and nationalizing foreign corporations assets.
There is said to be at least 500 jets in this scenario.
Really fucking dumb move. It’s not like nationalizing a factory, oilfield, etc. The aircraft he’s seizing all require maintenance training and parts from the various manufacturers of the aircraft. How long are they going to be usable, much less reliable. Just ask Toad how long before the aircraft are hangar queens. Great propaganda, piss poor planning and execution IMHO.
