  1. On second thought, it’s like airline union contracts…always in negotiation, till a strike reset or ops are negatively affected
  2. Millennials will have initiative? (Jk)
  3. So youre saying it is not a free day pass, but better?...its a free medical-out pass never to return to service?!! (With major, lingering side effects)
  4. For the irony, plz say Trump! What a kerfuffle that would be!!! That’d be cable-news worthy ratings
  5. Low speed, high drag
  6. The shocker…really AI, really?!
  7. “Dos Gringos”…
  8. Crazy vs hot scale Ewok vs T-Rex James Bond’s mistresses
  9. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the more than hyper-active speed almost plad-fast, super maneuverable, AI fighter/bomber…driven by R3D3 and/or Dot Matrix (aka a Winnebago).
  10. Very gracious of you for the benefit of the doubt.
  11. ...and it's the spare
  12. Ha, checks…
  13. That’s a good $0.02
  14. Good test of DEI theory however, give DEI their own pilot training wing like days of past (what is old is new) see if they can do better powered by DEI espirit de corps.
  15. Not yet…but 2 Senators from Mississippi are trying with NDAA amendment
  16. How should someone determine what it is worth? Or what about how much their time is worth? I posit analysis such as these are the most common, portable comparisons...doesn't mean it's the only measure, however should be part of one's calculus. It certainly informs the financial analysis part of that calculus. If you're a military flying addict, then being knowledgeable of it is important. It's easier to inform the portion that flying low level is fun; not much fun-analysis needed there!
  17. Found this gem of a website..our very own US govt CPI inflation calculator...wonder what analysis of AvB will reveal: good, bad, ugly, or fair deal? Spun it twice, and it wasn't so nice. Have a try yourself!! (Oct 2021 vs Oct 2022 comparison, lost $2,558.54 in value) (Oct 2017 vs Oct 2022 comparison....the bonus would need to be presently $42.1k/year for parity...lost $7,115.27 in purchasing power and it hasn't been addressed..that's 20.3% of its original purchasing power) Background data/ref' here: FY2017 was when it was made $35k
  18. You’re right…they have a price…and borrowing at these bond interest rates will kill us too!
  19. its better than sunscreen..or a COVID shot! (wonder if it'll come back…)
  20. Do nuclear detonations count as instantaneous climate change? Or is that too much political spin?
  21. …meanwhile another interpretation: it reads like the whole world will be skipping, happily together in-hand if they follow American values and present international order (whilst somehow following and fighting for their own country’s) and we will all be Free, Open, Prosperous, and Secure…unless there is bad people spoiling the festivities, then together we’ll do…something, like share information with those who share our values.
  22. She had a good run, I suspect Father Time.
  23. Any islands nearby?
  24. I agree that they’re finding the line of economic balance and politics, however the economics quickly catches up and appears more dire than politicians desire. I think it is a game of depression hot potato.
