Day Three: That Free Finger Drink Could be Cancelled in Asia

Airlines in Asia are considering cancelling free alcohol on its flights over the ocean. The Grinch has found a solution for this problem. Three Free drinks are selected from a fish bowl drawing, selecting 12 Seat numbers at the start of each flight from economy. The Grinch could not be reached for comment as the story was still breaking. 

Three Free Grinch Drinks 

The Grinch has slammed charging passengers for alcohol on the other side of the date line which runs through the Pacific Ocean just off Asia. He was last seen in Singapore slinging his way across the flight line before he was lifting off.

Free alcohol on flights may end as Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines costs rise

"Budget airlines including AirAsia and Jetstar, which is owned by Qantas Airways, have long tried to squeeze extra cash from customers during flights. Michael O'Leary, chief executive officer of European low-cost airline Ryanair, in 2009 suggested charging customers to use the toilet."

Day 4: Donald Trumps Attacks 150,000 Taxpayers aka Boeing Employees

Personnel attacks are never pleasant and going after big ticket costs are so popular, it’s like you are doing something without doing something. Boeing is such a victim of Donald Trump’s wrath. His “make it cheaper” mantra appeals to Billionaires wealthy enough to buy a 787 BBJ and is so "Donald". So just go do your thing before the inauguration day festivities and then shut-up until summer. I'll be on vacation by then and if I didn't hear it, it didn't happen. Vacations are special that way. The campfire eliminates those who revel in profoundness without a clue.

Okay Boeing make it cheaper and my guys will come and buy one.

Day 5 Weight Reduction Extends The Terminal lines

The 787, long known for its CFRP body is making the 787 per sq foot of passenger space the lightest of aircraft in its class. Over fifty percent of the aircraft is reinforced carbon fiber constructions. Going further in key areas, all portions of the 787 have under gone a goal that every component weight matters. From the flight crews flying work space to the lack of fasteners typically found on one of its cousin's aluminum constructs. The goal was to build everything lighter and more efficient. The 787 from passenger seat materials to the soap dish amenity signals a very light behemoth considering its girth.

Airlines bid to beat their weight problem

The Grinch has just proposed a brilliant ideal that Boeing is looking into from the Jet way level. The Grinch looked at CFRP early on, and he has suggested to Boeing that all passengers in the Northern Hemisphere are lacking in a high fiber diet and could reduce weight further on the 787 by insisting all airport terminal restaurants serve extremely high Carbon Fiber Reinforced Foods (CFRF) two hours prior to boarding an aircraft, thus making the 787 drop down to its lightest "load" per seat. The Carbon Fiber Reinforce Food could reduce the weight of each passenger by 5% before boarding a 787 aircraft.

The Board of Directors of Boeing were enthusiastic supporting the Grinch's proposal. Even though there is no developed or known CFRF's, Boeing will add another Billion to its "sunk" costs for the 787 program, bringing its total going into the "hole" at 30 billion dollars US.

Day 6: Boeing Had a Parts of The Engine Failure Down Under

The 787 suffers a "two fer" on separate 787 airplanes. The parts problem is reported by the parts guy as the culprit on one GE and one Rolls engines both of which affected a Jet Star and Scoot aircraft. Another day and another lone engine problem on the duo engine aircraft. Maintainers were dispatched and fixed it.

Day Seven Boeing is Ready For 137 787's

The Boeing delivery schedule documents 137 Dreamliners will be delivered making it to 500 787's delivered since keeping program statistics per AllThings787 data. The CEO of Boeing was quoted to say,

"I love it when a plane comes together"

Boeing has positioned itself for completing the year's production plan through December 20, 2016 when it delivers 787 #500 to Avianca. The Christmas break reloads the upcoming production year for delivering close to 144 787's in 2017.

Day 8: The Truth About The F-35

The F-35's truth is that nobody really knows what the F-35 really has for the US Military. Stealth, fusion, avionics and weapons. But what really is the difference maker in combat? Could it out perform a fully loaded and renovated F-18 or a souped up F-15? How about a very tricky F-16? Does the F-35 hold an edge over all of the US legacy aircraft? If one thing is known it generates more questions than answers, and that is probably its greatest strength at this time. Nobody knows what it can do in combat facing the world's best fighters. After-all that is the trillion dollar question, what can it do?

F-35 here we come 

All the pundits have since weighed in on this matter with glitchy, problematic, and costly proposals of why the F-35 fails without answering the real question of what can it do better in any category of a war fighter and perhaps we are looking at only a knight in shining armor riding on horseback facing a high tech hoard of fourth generation capability.

The answer does not come from money spent on a "Walter Mitty" program for fighting wars, it comes from a fear of losing this nation from an insane rabid adversary nipping at the doors of freedom and peace. That is what is hoped for when defending this nation and not stock holder profits for all the players in this epic tale of deceit, greed, and fraud to the American people by a few leaders of government and industry. 

The solders, employees, and supervisors really believe in the F-35 while the questions never seem to be answered about its real combat capability. The answer comes after a war is started and it’s too late to change direction when saving a nation. The secrets of the F-35 starts with trust and confidence that its people of this nation got it right instead of the greedy skimming trillions from the Taxpayers.

A non-stop Qantas flight from Perth to London might be cutting travel time, but an aviation expert has warned it could cost up to 40 per cent more to fly.

The airline announced on Monday it would be taking bookings for flights direct to London from Perth from April 2017, giving Australians the first opportunity to fly to Europe without a stopover.  

But Ellis Taylor from Flight Global told 6PR Radio that Qantas would have to charge customers more because of the cost of carrying more fuel.
