Who's interested in a bi-weekly open conversation about @thunderbird roadmap, upcoming features, wrong decisions, difficult efforts, and everything in between?

I'm planning a recurring AMA in which you can submit questions, even hard ones, and myself alongside other folks from the core team can answer.

Just because being open about what we're doing is cool!

Question folks... actually questions.

There are numerous incidents like this one where airplanes get into troubles allegedly because of the GPS jamming, again allegedly, by Russia.

I am not so deep into aircrafts, nor GPS or wide scale jamming (it's set of satellites if I'm not mistaken, right?)

So is there anyone to explain how this can be done?

• affecting single aircraft
• hundreds (800 by guesstimate Kaliningrad vs Viena) of kilometers in EU
• how come the divert to Brno, which is really nearby could solve the problem
• how come the commercial lines are reliant on just GPS? What about Galileo system? What about all those others "legacy" and/or ground systems for aircraft navigation?
