Quite frankly, idk either. But doing what we have been doing clearly wasn't working. So do we just keep doing that? My guess is they hope it will bring people to the table. Big gamble, then again, maybe it pays off big. Time will tell, but I'm not going to cry wolf because the market hits the same level we were in last summer. I say that as someone who isn't all that fond of 47. Maybe just cut it off, that seems to have become popular over the last few years.

Maybe some day, those shouting the loudest about what will and what will not work, will actually fix the economic situation we're in. But from where I'm sitting, they've done nothing but 3x our national debt in the last three decades.

Man, the movie Pushing Tin wasn't that far off.

^^^^ the corporate partner. I kid, I kid CH.

The F-4 could just barely eek out 5 G's, so that story checks out.

Niceeee...well minus the sim IP and crashing part. Back a ton...it seems like they went to flight idle and we're never touched again.

Agreed. Pretty sure I could have great conversation over a bourbon with NS...probably learn a few things.

Whatever you all do....panic because the sky is most certainly falling. But seriously, this is why you never budget based on getting premium flying every month. Best to be good with min guarantee, better if you're below that. It's already been a good year so far on reserve, might be a good year to keep riding the reserve train. I'm just excited that I'll be able to drop a bunch of my summer schedule as I have way too many plans this summer. Someone certainly knew that DAL was about to make an announcement. I saw a post on X showing someone massively shorted DAL just before the announcement, then cashed out the next morning. Main millions for a few clicks. It's good to have insider info, especially if you have a few degrees of separation.

Let's not act like either side has the market cornered on "honor," both sides do bullshit that makes their cronies rich. Why do you think one side is so petulant right now...their babies are in danger of being thrown out with the bath water. There would likely be a similar reaction if the roles were reversed, though maybe not to the extent we saw in the Trumps speech this week. The problem with spending cuts is that everyone thinks their program is the lynchpin holding the US together. Cut deep and walk it back as needed. I'm all for looking at cutting tax loopholes that making business owners ultrawealthy, but first lets trim the fat that we've all seen with our own eyes (so clearly there is MUCH more) and stop blowing taxpayer money on bullshit. Also, figure out social security in a way that doesn't force us/future generations to be taxed even more. If that means sunsetting it, so be it, just do it in a way that allows people to plan for it. I'm already expecting to not get anything, or at the very least, a severely reduced benefit.

Oh man, I totally forgot about that. I remember the runners world magazine that had to be removed because of the chick in a sports bra. The magazine was a chicks lol. Apparently fitness isn't in the DOD business model.

That bridgeee not your target.

LEDs are a lot cooler than the kerosene lanterns you guys had to use as landing lights back in the day.

Ya, we've done that nearly every year since I've been here. Just pointing at that AA isn't the only one doing this, so it could just be a slow down for an all hands on deck summer.

I think Delta is stopping classes for the summer as well. They did up hiring from 500 back up to 800 but I think they've just found some efficiencies in the new contract.

If you wear a morale patch or a friday shirt, you'll clearly not follow the TO, the plane will crash and babies will die.
