@oeingoboeing Be that as it may 🙄this is not a criticism of the pilot, it's a criticism of American Airlines coffee. You probably just misunderstood it. It's 100% true that crew have been buying coffee in the terminal for years to avoid it, and this is bad for the operation.

@MindYourPees @dayele @Ishy097 @phildstewart The China garbage didn’t do anything meaningful. Especially for Venezuela. If the US wanted to truly obliterate Iran, it could have. Damage is done. The radical irgc wants to fight, the level headed leaders want to talk.

(Reuters) - Iranian authorities see the truce with the United States and Israel as a strategic victory, but they emerge battered and isolated with an economy in tatters, little prospect of rapid recovery and an impoverished, embittered population. After weeks of U.S. and Israeli strikes, many Iranians have lost their jobs. Prices have surged. Factories, power plants, railways, airports and bridges have been destroyed. And the critical trading relationship with Gulf states has been severed - maybe for decades.

Delta isn't giving a ton of detail on where it'll cut back this spring due to elevated fuel prices, but: "We’re targeting capacity in off peak times: Edge of day, redeye flying. Those markets will be under the most amount of pressure," per Chief Commercial Officer Joe Esposito
Kyle Potter@kpottermn

NEW: Delta says higher fuel costs will cost the airline $2 billion over the next 3 months. Could be even worse for others. Delta alone owns its own refinery, which gives it a $300 million lift. Still, Delta says “meaningful capacity reductions” - aka flight cuts - continue.

@amuse @DanielJHannan It was so poorly defined it’s difficult to say. But it’s easy to see what defeat looks like. Iranian regime still intact and emboldened, in def facto control of world oil prices, sanctions eased.

Trump has just lost a war to Iran. I would liken it to the Suez débâcle except that, at Suez, Britain successfully swept Egyptian resistance aside. We were defeated by Eisenhower’s hostility, not Nasser’s tanks. This time, the US just flat out lost - and the world is vastly worse off for it.

@thomasjuneau But things everyone will remember : 1. Iran didn't back down vs the most powerful military in the world 2. World leaders, and US political system, disappeared in front of Trump's insane threats. 3. GCC, S. Korea and Japan now have a doubt on their trust alliance towards USA

US, Iran agree to 2-week ceasefire. Some thoughts: -Both had strong reasons to want the war to stop (very costly for each, even if in a very different way) -Their demands in coming talks for a durable ceasefire are VERY distant, and both will be intransigent -So the risk of renewed violence is real This war will leave long-lasting consequences: -the precedent of Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz (big leverage it will be able to threaten to use again) -the failure of the Axis of Resistance: Iran's deterrence - its ability to inflict a cost on adversaries - did not come from Hamas, Hezbollah, or other armed groups it supports, but from its own missiles and drones. -So expect Iran to double down on drones and missiles; it will sprint to rebuild production capacity and replenish stocks. -Expect them also to learn the lesson that closing maritime chokepoints works; a lesson Iran and the Houthis will certainly remember for the Bab al-Mandab in the future. It is permanently held hostage as well. -Arab states of the Gulf already mistrusted Iran - the war will leave a long-lasting legacy of even more bitterness -Arab states of the Gulf will also be angry at the US... but will have no choice but to stay close, and perhaps closer, given the continued threat of Iran -The Islamic Republic survived the war. Yes, it will claim victory merely because it resisted, but it comes out much, much weaker economically, militarily (with the exception of the Hormuz precedent), and diplomatically (it has annoyed a lot of countries). Domestically, I am skeptical there will be a sustained rally-around-the-regime effect. The regime remains as unpopular and it is a matter of when, not if, popular protests resume, and the regime will repress them as brutally as ever. -The domestic crackdown will be brutal, but so will the international one: transnational repression (targetting dissidents abroad) will intensify, as it did in the past when two variables (regime vulnerability and enhanced diaspora mobilization) converged. -And needless to say, the US is led by an absolute clueless incompetent madman who is damaging US power, reputation, alliances, etc.

Airlines have already raised fares and fees in response to skyrocketing fuel costs. The next frontier, I worry, is worse: Widespread flight changes, cancellations and disruptions as airports eventually run out of fuel - especially overseas.

NEWS: Iran and the United States received a Pakistan-brokered framework plan to end hostilities overnight, which could take effect as early as today and immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a source cited by Reuters. Reuters: “A framework to end hostilities has been put together by Pakistan and exchanged with Iran and the U.S. overnight, the source said, outlining a two-tier approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.” 
“Axios first reported on Sunday that the United States, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase deal that could lead to a permanent end to the war, citing U.S., Israeli and regional sources.”

My message here clearly struck a nerve. A few friends from when I was press secretary, domestically and abroad, don’t like what I said. Instead of seeing how Western European nations must change, they just want to attack Trump. The reason it struck a nerve is because they recognize that this time NATO nations are being held to account. They know they’ve come up short for decades and by denying us overflight rights, they’ve gone too far. Americans are fed up, especially with France and Spain. Trump won’t stand for it and they know it. They now fear the consequences of their inaction. The UK, unlike its days under Thatcher or Blair, is wishy-washy. They’ve often been a good allie, but this time they want to sit it out and have it both ways. We can use their bases, but only for limited operations. At least the UK spends real money on defense. France, Spain, and Italy are another story. So too is Canada. None of these four contribute seriously to NATO. They’re laggards, trying to get away with it. Spain and France force our pilots to fly thousands of miles out of the way (I thought they didn’t like carbon footprints) en route to Iran. Eastern Europe is a different story. They spend more on defense and they understand power. They lived under Soviet domination and recognize weakness when they see it. They won’t be weak. Western European governments, especially France, are good at issuing communiques and statements. They enjoy hosting conferences. They love to ponder deeply. Getting them to act is another matter, unless it’s to purchase Russian LNG, which they still do. The world is changing. Out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the importance of strength. The UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Eastern Europe will emerge stronger than ever. Western Europe will continue to fall behind. As for Trump, you don’t have to like him. He often says things none of his predecessors would say. But don’t underestimate the fact that US taxpayers are fed up with nations that don’t pull their weight, and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran. Today’s Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransoms (trade) than support the US. Things are different today. We all know it. The UK, France, Spain and Italy (despite its Prime Minister) have earned the consequences that will unfold. They could have and should have supported us. Not as a NATO alliance. But as individual free nations. All we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields. They’ve made their choices. Soon, they’ll see the results.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

So if you run somehow attacked one of our major Bridges you think that would be fair game? I remember we could have blown that bridge at night time when almost nobody travels there. But we purposely decided to do it in the middle of the day while people are commuting. This wasn't about taking out the bridge this was about doing it in broad daylight to terrorize the Iranian people.
