One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.
This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
The level of trust in the technology by the NASA team is remarkable when you remember that the translunar injection burn must be just right to hit the exact spot where the Moon will be 4 days later, because if not, your spaceship cannot sustain you long enough to get home again.
Dear @SouthwestAir: Your new seating rules and boarding procedures are a DISASTER.
Boarding is chaos. Deboarding is even worse. Your new boarding order leads to front bins being filled by back seaters before longtime A-Listers even board. This leads to madness upon deboarding as people go against the flow of traffic to get the carry-ons they had to stash 20 rows behind them.
And because you no longer allow two bags to be checked for free, there are way more carry-ons, which only leads to longer boarding and deboarding times.
There’s simply no reason to fly Southwest anymore. You don’t have the lowest fares. Miles and status don’t matter because of how badly you dorked up boarding. And the service quality has gone waaaaay down, with fun and cheery flight attendants being replaced by nasty, bossy cranks with bad attitudes.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You used to be the best. You should go back to doing the things that made Southwest different and great.
Southwest Arlines' downfall needs to be studied.
They identified all of their competitive advantages and then eliminated them. There's literally no reason to fly Southwest anymore.
The health indicator no one talks about = the strong desire to work and build things. Whether for the intrinsic love of the work, the rewards, or both. Yes we need sleep and (some need) recreation but drive is at least as important as any other metric.
