Don't these pilots look for other traffic before blindly wandering around on the runways??

Also: nice job, @Pesqueeb.

Prop the tail back on, park it in the corner and hope no one noticed it happening.

United to offer free Starlink-based internet access. rolling upgrades to fleet starting in 2025.

 

[rideit]

, hopefully this will ‘devalue’ the premium of internet connectivity. Remember long after major hotel chains made it free, podunk hotels and motels still tried to charge for it?
And then advertised “free internet!”?
Im sure United will just modify pricing to cover the spread.

Yeah, but IME the cost for connectivity on my flights has been reasonable, like $6 or something.

No airline is giving shit away. You're paying for it, one way or another.

AA is stoopid expensive, like $16-$25 per leg, and has never worked internationally for me.

Even if it’s “free”, I’m sure you will need some kind of account, requiring an email or whatever, making you the product for starlink or other bullshit.
