Do you like flying?

Great review of Delta by Dean Barnett. We have all had these stories. I am amazed that these dinosaurs stay in business. This year I have made over a dozen overseas flights. I can say with assertion that not one has gone as planned. Many did not even go! Further, there is no sympathy from any airline employee. I think they screen them with personality tests to find people who enjoy kicking their dog. Oh…never but never raise your voice. You must act like a lemming or you will removed as a security threat.

I agree with the assertion by many in the comments section that the overseas airlines are better. I think the comment about unions probably gets close to the source. Unions only train their members to be selfish. …but that is another rant.
Oh, one other acronym…
DELTA “Doesn’t ever leave; terminates Atlanta”

Indonesia is becoming unstable

Alarming review of the current state of affairs in this island nation.  Indonesia is becoming an increasingly important player in the basic material trade globally.  Further, its strategic geographic location near the Asian shipping lanes is also a key issue for strategists to reconcile.
