After watching many accident documentaries, many people saved their lives by the joint actions of pilots and copilots, by example a pilot could be solving a problem while the copilot could look in the manual for solutions.

Yea. Imagine trying to figure out why the engines are all fucked up while gripping the control wheel as you plunge towards the ground. There are some cases where the Captain had a medical emergency and the co-pilot takes over. These are rare cases but it’s more then likely not comfortable for the passengers or big commercial pilots.

The German energy company Uniper sued Gazprom to compensate for financial losses from the shortage of cheap gas from Russia.

What unadulterated arrogance. First sanctions were imposed, then turbines were taken hostage, then gas pipelines were blown up, and finally Germany was offended that Gazprom could not supply cheap gas in full.

DUESSELDORF, Germany, Nov 30 (Reuters) - German utility Uniper has launched an arbitration process in the hope of securing billions of euros in compensation from Russia's Gazprom over undelivered gas volumes, Uniper CEO Klaus-Dieter Maubach said on Wednesday.

The company, which is in the process of being nationalised in a state bailout to survive the energy crisis triggered by the Ukraine war, puts the cost of replacing Russian gas at around 11.6 billion euros ($12.02 billion) to date.

This amount will continue to grow until the end of 2024, Uniper said. Maubach said he hoped the company would return to profit the following year.

In the first nine months of 2022, the company reported a 40 billion euro ($39.3 billion) net loss, the biggest in German corporate history.

"It's about gas volumes that were contractually agreed with Gazprom but not delivered and for which we had to procure replacements at extremely high market prices and still have to do so," Maubach said in a statement.

The proceedings are to take place in Stockholm, Uniper said.

Gazprom Export confirms that Uniper initiated arbitration proceedings Gazprom Export does not recognize the violation of contracts and the legality of the claims for damages, the company added.

Gazprom Export stated that it is studying the received statement of claim in the case with Juniper and will defend its interests within the legal framework.
