I can't think of any way the earthquake has materially affected me (besides providing an excuse for gas prices to go up).Anoynmoushttp://anoynmous.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-6368304405787297482011-03-21T04:47:34.008+00:002011-03-21T04:47:34.008+00:00Disasters directly affect an area, but the repercu...Disasters directly affect an area, but the repercussions can kneecap a whole region.

You see, I am the animal lover and you are so right in your first paragraph of this post! Though my husband being the pilot does look at life through Airplane-Coloured Glasses! <br /><br />I do know that the earthquake has affected many friends of mine as their husbands are pilots that fly over there. Mine flies for a major, but stays stateside, so other than being saddened by what has happened, nothing directly has affected us yet...<br /><br />Anna, <a href="http://www.anna-thepilotswife.com" rel="nofollow">The Pilot's Wife</a><br />http://www.anna-thepilotswife.comThe Pilot's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220331344281269625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-45994564655808979282011-03-21T03:18:16.231+00:002011-03-21T03:18:16.231+00:00Another example - Qantas flights to Tokyo (from Sy...Another example - Qantas flights to Tokyo (from Sydney and Perth) are being re-routed via Hong Kong. The stated reason for this is to allow crew overnights in Hong Kong, though I suspect they would also be tankering fuel. Jetstar, Qantas's subsidiary is routing its flights via Osaka for similar reasons. I'm not sure why Qantas isn't also going through Osaka (Hong Kong is kind of out of the way), but it's probably since Osaka not a normal destination for Qantas, and I suspect capacity there will get limited at some point.Jeznoreply@blogger.com
