Future Air Travel: Four-Hour Process, Self Check-In, Disinfection, Immunity Passes

Let’s start with the entire process of checking in for flights, which some calculate that it could take up to four hours and involving social distancing, sanitation of passengers and luggage, wider spaces for various lines and waiting to board.

Nine out of 10 experts expect slower turnarounds between flights due to the need of thorough cleaning of cabins and following of sanitary measures at airports.

So unless you live next door to an airport, you will have to spend close (maybe more) to 5 hours just to get out of your house and jump in a plane. The most common airliner in treh US is the venerable Boeing 737 in its many configurations with a cruise speed of just over 500 mph.  The Bureau of Transport Statistics says the average Passenger Trip Length is  1,494.6 miles. Think about that for a moment: in order to take a 3 hour flight, you will be required to suffer through more than 4 hours of check in.  That on itself would make people like me thnk twice about taking a long trip anywhere by air, but I figure people pressed for time will have to swalloow hard and eat the new inconveniences.

But what about short hops? Anything that would require 2 or less hours of actual flight like Miami Orlando? I would not even think about flying but hopping in my car and driving the four hours that it would take. Hell even to Jacksonvill I might just go by land and save me the three hours of probbing and prodding and cattle moving at the airport. Comfortable in y vehicle of treated likea leper in the airport?

Regional flights and airlines will probably take a huge hit and disappear. The big boys would have to do something and more tha likely would be to make a flight with stops all over the forgotten places. Basically a bus route with wings.

This is not good.

From Israeli news:

Iranian destroyer accidentally sinks IRGC warship

Iranian Navy confirms 19 sailors killed, 15 wounded in a friendly fire incident in the Gulf of Oman. Arab media says Iranian battleship was hit by a C-802 Noor missile during a military exercise, causing it to sink.

According to the Qatar-based Al Jazeera network, an Iranian destroyer accidentally fired a C-802 Noor missile at a sister warship during military exercises.

The Konarak, a Hendijan-class support ship, which was taking part in the exercise, was too close to a target during an exercise on Sunday when the incident happened, the reports said. The vessel had been putting targets out for other ships to target.

Insallah you mother fuckers.

Makes you wonder how bad our rules of engagement were under Obama that these jackasses were able to capture an American naval vessel and hold our sailors hostage.

What incompetent dipshits.

From Castle Rock News-Press:

Castle Rock business draws crowd against public health orders

C&C Coffee and Kitchen, a breakfast and Korean kitchen at 4284 Trail Boss Drive, had a line out the door about 10 a.m. Mother’s Day. Families of all sizes filed in past a “bouncer” with a visible sidearm. Every seat was taken as folks dined in. The floor was packed with people standing, waiting for coffee or take-out orders. One person could be seen wearing a mask inside the building.

“I expected it to be busy. I never expected this,” owner April Arellano said. “I’m so happy so many people came out to support the Constitution and stand up for what is right. We did our time. We did our two weeks. We did more than two weeks…and we were failing. We had to do something.”

People went out in droves.

If you understand human behavior, this makes sense.  People have been shut in for weeks, they want to get out and have some fun.

The first weekend the beach or pool or golf course whatever is open for the season, it’s packed.  Restaurants would be no different.

Castle Rock is the county seat of Douglass County, Colorado.  It has a population of 285,000 and has had only 556 Coronavirus cases and 25 deaths.

I’m sure the people there will be fine.

Not for Dean Obeidallah.

The people who went to Castle Rock today and didn't wear masks or follow social distancing rules 100% know they will get people sick. If they infect anyone who dies, they should be charged with MANSLAUGHTER! No one is above the law- not even Trump supporters! https://t.co/uWoQg0XHKI

I hate Dean Obeidallah.  He’s a Jew-hating piece of shit but puts the echo (the triple parenthesize) around his name in “solidarity” around his name to “combat anti-semitism” which is just cover for his Jew-hatred since he couches his Jew-hatred as anti-Zionism.  It’s disgusting.

But I digress…

This is going to be the next brickbat the Left uses to force the economy to destroy lockdown to continue in order to get Trump.

Threaten anyone who opens up with manslaughter or negligent homicide or in some other way makes people criminally liable if anyone to patrons their establishment catches COVID.

It would be almost impossible to state that one person dying of COVID happened because they went to one particular business on one particular day, and had that place not been open, said victim would still be alive, but the cost of fighting that charge would still be enough to bankrupt a business owner and make the rest think twice about opening back up.

But given all the other legal fuckery we’ve seen, this is would not be the most spurious thing the Left would have done to force more lockdown.

Anybody following California politics knows that the Middle Class has been fleeing the state.

California was bifurcating into a state of the very poor and super-rich, with the entertainment and tech industries propping up the top of society.

Elon Musk has not been a fan of the lockdown and has made his position known.

This has engendered much wrath against him, like this from an elected California assemblywoman.

It seems that Musk had his own “fuck you” up his sleeve in return.

Elon Musk says Tesla will sue ‘irrational’ Alameda County, relocate headquarters

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter Saturday morning to announce his company will file a lawsuit against Alameda County, California, over its shelter-in-place order that does not allow for the return of manufacturing along with the rest of the state.

“Tesla is filing a lawsuit against Alameda County immediately,” he tweeted. “The unelected & ignorant ‘Interim Health Officer’ of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our Constitutional freedoms & just plain common sense!”

“Frankly, this is the final straw,” Musk tweeted. “Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen (sic) on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”

Seems like Musk is going to be pulling his operations out of the Golden State.

He might be the first of the big Tech billionaires to do so, but I don’t think he will be the last.

With California remaining closed and Texas opening-up, I suspect more of the wealthy tech sector will be tempted to pull up and head out.

California is soon going to be a state of just the super poor and where Hollywood celebs have their beachfront mansions but not their legal residences for tax purposes.

Good job California.

Nothing says “You may want to leave now” than two Oerlikon 20mm cannons and six M2  .50 cal machine guns. 

The former head of the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence shows his only side nowadays:

Is he still running the useless anti gun group created by George Takei?
