Why on God‘s green earth when you are showing the 757 DL 1709 flight you’re about to take I assume from ATL to FLL because you’re going to be on Silver Airlines later, but I don’t know yet because I haven’t watched enough (and I may not because you’ve already irritated the hell out of me), you show the flight distance in effing kilometers? Both ATL and FLL are in the United States (but as I will state in a minute, it doesn’t matter where they are in the world when you’re talking about airline flight distances). Here, in the US, you were allowed to use statute miles or if you talking about a flight (having been a private pilot in the past and a sailor still today) you can and SHOULD (correctly) use nautical miles. But you can’t use damn PC frog kilometers. Not in this country. Actually for navigational purposes not in any effing country. There’s a reason the universal standard for navigation is nautical miles and why they’re called nautical miles and there’s a reason they exist and it has nothing to do with political correctness or (thank God) the lack thereof. You see, (you likely Gen Z or millennial) one nautical mile is equal to one minute of latitude. That is why nautical miles are universally used (even by the pilots and sailors that live in frog land where Napoleon Bonaparte among other awful concepts like much of civil law created kilometers) and why they are the technically correct standard of distance (which likely unlike you, I know having gratefully lived before the existence of personal computers and GPS, although I do prefer using them, but you never know when the SOBs will quit working and you will be relegated to using a paper map or a chart, and likely, unlike you, I can navigate with either with no trouble). But if you’re still obsessed with the PC frog BS that are kilometers, you’re in the wrong country. And if you’re not from the US, you need to learn about our culture (not to mention the science of navigation) or get the hell out of here.
@phlyingdoctor2 күн бұрын
Oh, the humanity! The sheer audacity of displaying a flight distance in kilometers in the United States of America! It's simply unconscionable. I can practically hear the Founding Fathers weeping in their graves. Forgive me, good sir, for my transgression. I shall immediately renounce my allegiance to the metric system and pledge eternal fealty to the glorious system of statute miles. Henceforth, all distances shall be measured in the divinely ordained units of feet, yards, and, of course, the magnificent mile. And you know what? I'll even throw in a few nautical miles for good measure, just to appease your delicate sensibilities. Though, I must confess, I struggle to grasp the concept of a minute of latitude. Seems awfully archaic and, dare I say, inefficient in this modern age of GPS and Google Maps. But fear not, esteemed navigator! I shall strive to rectify my heathen ways and embrace the wisdom of our forefathers. I shall diligently study nautical charts, memorize the intricacies of celestial navigation, and perhaps even invest in a sextant (though I suspect it might clash with my iPhone). In the meantime, I shall endeavor to atone for my sins by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while simultaneously converting kilometers to nautical miles with a rusty abacus. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a pressing engagement. I must urgently determine the distance to the nearest Starbucks in furlongs.

16:36 united did actually fly between Brisbane and LAX last year but cut the route once delta announced the routed and not to mention Qantas and American Airlines have a codeshare agreement so technically AA already has flights to Brisbane from LAX but on a Qantas aircraft.

That's a good point. Even though an AA-painted aircraft doesn't fly from LAX-BNE, you could still purchase a ticket on AA's website and for the route. Hopefully the route is profitable for AA and Delta.

Way too much Vegemite on your cracker, Brisbane is not really Paradise but to the South you do have Surfers Paradise and to the North there is the Sunshine coast, both important as Brisbane doesn't have any beaches.
