There is a book called The Five Languages of Love or something like that, and it is actually interesting to read about how people send and receive love differently. My wife values "service", which means me taking her Honda to the garage and getting it fixed without interrupting her day is far more important than sending flowers. I don't value service, so I would view her trying to do that for me as an annoyance. You have to figure out how to send love in the manner your partner best receives.
Really.

what pisses me off about this crash is what the hell was the plane flying for when the country had been on typhoon shut down? i smell the usual corporate profit before safety crap. i have actually flown that particular flight and it is a small prop plane and gets thrown around in normal situations let alone a frigin typhoon.
So @coasting, having survived both the typhoon and the Taiwanese MUPs, save us all some worry and avoid Malaysia Air as well.

Granted, seventeen years later, I'm still in the "service" department, but what I've come to understand is that's my issue and not hers.

Don't start Mr. H on the whole Malaysia airline shoot-down thing. He 100% says its the fault of Malaysian Air, they routed the plane over a war zone where a cargo plane was just shot down days prior. Which confused me, because I though planes were told where to fly by some government agency like the FAA. No, actually what happens is you file your flight plan, the government agency approves it or maybe changes it somewhat. But still if they tell you to fly somewhere unsafe, the pilot 100% just says no and the pilot's decision takes precedence, the government agency then has to figure out how to make the pilot's plan work. So I asked him why Malaysia Air would purposely fly over dangerous airspace. He assumes its the shortest route, the idea is to save fuel- ie, its about $. Either that or they are very very inept.

Not trying to get in a debate, but Mr. Makel knows lots of plane stuff, he says that they were told to fly over a certain height, and they were flying over that height. Flight plans are public, (and very easy to look up), there were lots of flights over that area. Each plane has a signature of some kind, I got no idea on the details of that, and that the idiots using the missile launcher should have been able to easily see that it was a civilian plane.

the ukraine space was not declared off limits by ukraine and the advice from FAA but most airline rerouted just in case. i took note of those who didn't..dodgy corporate culture. i noticed eva air of taiwan and singapore airlines also kept to that route. i will avoid.

And the FAA did tell American carriers not to use that space, but that's no excuse for someone to shoot it down.

Is it literally "Mr. Makel" or are you also using it in the figurative sense?

Little Miss. Chloe is wanting to play in and out today.
I'm not busy I guess I'll give.
Been trying to convince Mr. Makel to get a doggie door, no luck so far.

no one is excusing the idiots who shot it down. stop misrepresenting me. airlines have a duty to avoid obvious risks and if others had, then one wonders why some didn't. just as i question why a plane was flying during typhoon shut down day.
