  • If you make it to the Canadian side without papers, the Canadians will refuse you and send you back. On the way back you have to go through the american checkpoint. Each country’s boarder station is built on their own side of the boarder. That’s how they get nabbed in land crossings.

    Although they can add an exit check, there isn’t the infrastructure for it. Immigration plazas widen to many lanes at the inspection stations. The outgoing side is just a normal road. Adding an exit check would either slow traffic to a crawl by checking cars on a normal road, or require expensive renovations at every highway boarder crossing. Its possible, but not something they can implement quickly or quietly.














  • Both the 737 and a320 have wait lists at least a decade long. Small jets are popular. This is why few airlines canceled orders in response to the max crashes. Airlines need to keep buying new planes to maintain their fleets, so moving from the front of boeing’s queue to the back of airbus’s is not a viable strategy.

    Comac’s C919 went into service in 2023. It is certified by chinese authorities for service in china, but comac is working on getting approval from easa to operate in europe.

    Switching to comac would mean getting in the front of the line for the new plane. And aircraft makers often give very favorable deals to launch customers who order large numbers.

    And ryanair will be ordering many planes because most of budget airline’s savings come from only operating a single aircraft type. Buying comac would mean replacing their entire fleet.
