I avoid the airlines. I've seen some pilots on the internet that, let's face it, scare me. See, this is what's weird about Palantir. It probably won't bump at all. Maybe I don't understand their business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be found near the top of the pile of Southwest luggage from previous weeks. I envision a new business. Instead of selling storage lockers to the highest bidder there will be auctions of unopened luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was realistically based on a close association with both programmers and their management. This really seems to be true across the broad spectrum of operations - public and private - all over the US (and world?). My experience is that we're constantly rolling out new stuff to replace the old & outdated stuff, but because we have a crap ton of systems using different software, there's a long pipeline of old/outdated/hanging-on-by-a-thread bits of software with only so much time/money/resources available to chip away at it. IOW, like infrastructure, there will ALWAYS be an oldest or most "broken" item, and when that's replaced, the next in line is now there and the replacement just heads to the end of the line knowing it too will need replacing at some point.
