Swiss to cancel 1,400 flights this summer due to pilot shortage
Swiss International Air Lines, a Lufthansa subsidiary, will cancel 1,400 flights—about 1.5% of its summer schedule—due to a severe pilot shortage, especially affecting A320, A321, A330, and A340 crews. The cuts impact short- and medium-haul European routes as well as the Chicago long-haul route, which will be halved in September and October.

Well, this is very interesting, op-ed in #NYTimes and interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. Looks like Bukele is a wannabe criminal amassing governmental resources and powers to audition for membership in the crime organizations of El Salvador, and beyond. Nelson Rauda Zablah, editor for El Faro, San Salvador, illuminates his negotiations with MS-13 through US courts and an interview with a leader from Barrio 18, rival to MS-13.

"In a span of eight years, the US dropped more than five million tonnes of bombs on #Vietnam, making it the most bombed place on earth. By January of this year, #Israel had dropped at least 100,000 tonnes of bombs on #Gaza.
Put another way, the US dropped around 15 tonnes of explosives per square kilometre of Vietnam, while Israel has dropped 275 tonnes per square kilometre of Gaza - a figure that is higher by a factor of 18."
