RT by @SpaethFlies: In Tokyo, there's a cleaning crew that does the impossible every 12 minutes. They're called TESSEI. They clean the Shinkansen bullet trains at Tokyo Station. When a train arrives, it stops for 12 minutes before departing again. Two minutes for passengers to exit. Three more for the next batch to board. That leaves seven. In those seven minutes, one person must: - Clean 100 seats - Wipe every tray table - Vacuum the floor - Rotate every seat to face the new direction of travel - Replace all headrest covers - Check the overhead bins - Bow to incoming passengers Seven. Minutes. They do this hundreds of times a day. Harvard Business School published a case study about them. The New York Times called it "the 7-minute miracle." Tourists now stand on the platform just to watch. Before they start, they bow to the train. When they finish, they line up and bow to the passengers. They're paid by the hour. Many are in their 50s and 60s. Japan didn't invent cleaning. They invented the dignity of doing small things perfectly.

RT by @SpaethFlies: Spotted this beauty taking off... an Azerbaijan Airlines Airbus A340 lifting off.. . Not sure if those are the famous ‘four hair dryers’ under the wings or the bigger Trent 500s, but damn it still looks majestic. I’m not type-rated on the A340, so I can only admire from far away . These birds are becoming proper unicorns now... AZAL was basically the last airline flying the A340-500 in regularish service, and the whole family is getting retired as everyone moves to more efficient twins like the 787 and A350.
