Public tickets, that I can buy, as a non-Cuban.

Please don't post about how Eagle, and some other retarded companies go there on relief flights. I don't care. Noone else does either.

The real question is when I can buy my non-stop Cuba ticket on United to fly on a Skywest CRJ-900 from O'hare???



 
Also, how long will it take to launch F-15s to intercept "hijacked" planes returning from Cuba once anyone can buy a ticket?

If I was stuck in that sh1thole I might make up a story that my bowling ball was an explosive device just so I could get a plane, and go to AMUREEKAH!
 
I think I saw on the news last week something about the new administration wanting to reopen travel to Cuba, first they are allowing people with relatives--including aunts, uncles and even cousins--to travel to visit and stay as long as they want. Then expand on that to allow more travel to Cuba.
 
Yeah... Cuba is such a dangerous place... We should all fear the people there. What with all their money and power and all.

Yep-

It sure takes a lot of money and power to be dangerous....

If you had ever seen how impoverished Eastern Europe was under Soviet contol, you would have been very surprised..... Yet no one would ever deny that every square inch of that place was very dangerous to the west.

-P.S.-It sure as hell doesn't take a lot of money and power for some freaks to hijack some planes-no one would deny that is dangerous as well.
 
I'll take Cuba over any overnight in ROC ALB and various other upstate NY and Western PA.

Now just why in the hell would you pay for a ticket to be scrunched into the fuselage of an airframe that was really intended for one hour flights for three fracking hours?

Innertubes, broom handles and bedsheets are cheep. Buy a ticket on amtrack to Miami and build yourself a raft-the trip will be more comfortable.
 
Republic Airways, Operating as Cubana Connection, maing!
 
Obama the savior from Guantanamo........ أوباما المنقذ من جوانتانامو ......
Hey will Republic use Communist planes?

Haha.......... not only is it replacing DC-9s, it actually looks like one.
 
I had an overnight in Havana once (broken airplane), and I wouldn't say it's any more dangerous than any other Latin American country. It's a popular vacation spot with a lot of Europeans and Canadians.

The right main landing gear was pissing hydraulic fluid all over the tarmac. Yeah, it was pretty bureaucratic, but the company took care of everything. Beautiful country, impoverished but very friendly people.
 
American Eagle has been flying Miami to Havana for years, US crew, but none of the passengers can be US nationals. Count on an hourly shuttle service from MIA to Havana and JFK-Havana as soon as it opens up. Have to dig in more, but I think Eagle has been doing the ATR to Havana longer than Gulfstream has been in there.

It IS a DC-9. The wings and fuse are built on the jigs from the MD-90 program they exported to China. All that is new are some RJ engines and updated avionics--and lead in the paint, asbestos in the seats, and melamine in the potable water.

Exactly. If you think Cuba is a dangerous place, you haven't been there.

American sends in mainline 737s during the Christmas season. Many airlines have done charters to Cuba from Miami. You can be a U.S. national, but you need a license from the state department (research, journalism, etc). Cuban nationals can return every three years (it used to be every year).

So is Washington DC. They have one of the highest murder rates in the USA (and not getting better). Cuba's people are for the most part very friendly and unlike other certain races and cultures they actually have are productive people. You ask how I know this I have been to Cuba several times both in and out of the military. I have friends that are from there and they are good people. You need to understand the culture before you can make that assumption.

It is kinda like saying when was the last time a black guy held a job for 4 years, funny yes, racist yes , truth we will see.

BTW OCP I know you are being sarcastic. Have a good one.
