A380s are known as hard landers, so your experience was pretty typical. I agree though, neat planes. AF needs to update their interiors badly though.

Now you’re changing tacks from your original statement. Your original question was “why does this exist?” and now your question is “how well can it sell?” Very different. We don’t know if it will sell well, but this seems to be a category right now where, judging by Chrysler’s products, you can basically put four…

Again, whos this for? Its another entry into a crowded segment and one that no one really asked for. Like what will make it stand out from the competition.

With that being said, who’s this for exactly?

Your view is a basic one of a traditional industry. I can tell you that in my company it isn’t that simple. If we sell the client something they don’t want or need, then they get overwhelmed/realize what has happened/don’t use their systems properly and never come back to us. It takes a skillful salesperson to…

Haha, I made the mistake of writing this not thinking aboaut the car market while all of you were. In my company we frequently *don’t* upsell because we know that if the client finds out he was sold something he doesn’t need, he’ll never come back. For us, it is MORE profitable and successful to match our clients need…

Wasn’t referring to the car market.

Wasn’t talking about Tesla. Of course they want to upsell, they ARE (that’s what this article is about).

Umm, ones that don’t earn a commission. If you don’t earn more based on the quantity you sell, then (depending on the company) the goal becomes ‘getting the person the best thing for them’, not you. Recognizing that ‘the best thing’ might be not the thing you have to sell. That’s why everybody hates commission.

I think we’re all aware that the question of how they lined up for the wrong thing is the real question here.

It’s not completely clear, but it seems like the plane had already started the go-around process by the time they were formally instructed to go around. And they did see things, they commented about seeing lights.

Nice, this would be more of a prediction if Tesla hadn’t announced months ago that the next Tesla will be a small crossover.

I fly a fair bit and am sensitive to turbulence but know it’s not dangerous. Basically, it bothers my internal systems which say “that sudden 15-foot drop was wrong.” Usually, I just put my head back and move with the aircraft if it gets really bad.

Selfish? One could argue that feeling the necessity to populate the world with little versions of yourself is also pretty selfish, in the grand scheme of things.

Agreed. It looks like he’s just hitting them because they’re slowing him down. What an asshole.

Hmm, do you classify all posts that you use things like science or facts as “crazy progressive liberal”? That’s the only way I can see this statement making sense.

But in all seriousness. These cars were high because they had space and went over the rough stuff. Then we had a period in the 50s and 60s were all of our urban environments were new, smooth, and flat and we were rich. Now we’re poor, own max one car (if any), necessitating it be a useful shape, and have broken…

Don’t you want to Make America Great Again?

But that’s the whole problem...we *can’t* carry on ;)
