give a user an option to easily open such in the same tab/window.

I am not sure where the 'option' (ie 'optional') part got lost in the logic here.

Did the repost bot carry an actual ad? I know - don't blame the messenger - but I'm sure I saw one the other week.

tight-packed schedules

Extra hardware.

Not something sitting there hot and ready to go, but there to take the place of the flight. Maintain a one-unit queue of planes ready to board and launch so that each and every plane sits for 2 hours and is actually prepped.

Or, when that inevitable daily breakage happens and a plane needs to be taken off the line for the day, it allows time to bring in another spare to keep that queue full (of 1) when the rotation loses that active plane.

there was nothing they could do

I'm willing to bet 'showing basic humanity' was an available option the flight crew was just unable to consider.

Pierre will tell us we're still over-funded and his rich friends should pay even less taxes than the pittance they're paying now.

With no extra airplanes, they probably don't have time.

Again, the problem comes down to no extra equipment; even when it would give them the lag time to properly clean between departures at no added hw maintenance or aircrew costs.

Now do 'home and native land.'

Not being psychic, I'd be far more reluctant to over-leverage assumptions like that.

The name of the 10th premier of Alberta, who won his party control in the '70s on a platform (featuring diversity in spending and preparing for a post-oil economy) all but ignored soon after, after whom the region is named, is apparently pronounced "LAW-heed".

Yeah. I'm dumbfounded too. I'll continue to pronounce it "LOW-heed" so people don't look at me funny. Bone apple tea.

consider PCLinuxOS for a mageia (mandriva, conectiva and mandrake, both branches from RedHat pre-Enterprise Linux) descendant.

if they didn’t kick the cow and spoil that milk like they’ve kicked every cow before it

I miss Cringely's take on this.

. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing.

It's a tough one. We blame RedHat for a lot of its half-baked internal fridge art - systemd, network manager; and even, some days, yum in an apt-4-rpm world.

But this new one is QUITE the departure. It's not 'red hat' stupid but a little further on the spectrum.
