(as reported by Quincy Institute, a thoroughly pro-Russian think tank)
ISW confirmed unauthorised edits were made, and fired a staffer over it. Not sure why you feel the need to comment this. Classic lowbrow dismissal

Your link points to a 2012 discussion of "Why an Airline That Travelers Love Is Failing". Not super convincing.

ISW is a shill for neoconservatism (just look at their board!) and is funded by US defense contractors. They try to give the appearance of neutrality via technical jargon etc. but are anything but.
Please give me a single example backing up the claim that Quincy Institute is "a thoroughly pro-Russian think tank"
On their page "Quincy Institute’s Position on Russia-Ukraine" they say at the very beginning:
> We categorically condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and support U.S. assistance for Ukraine’s self-defense.

It has been suggested that QI’s approach is insufficiently critical of Russia.

Quincy Institute is not tied to Russia and condemns the invasion
You're welcome to find a piece of their writing where they unequivocally support Ukraine without ifs, buts, and NATO-didits.

(Ad-hominem is not a counter-example btw)
Nothing about GP's comment is ad-hominem; it's neutral, factual context. Unless you dispute the factual claims?

And ISW is tied to Victoria Nuland.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, you're absolutely correct.
