  1. Apparently by CNN this time.
  2. This year's bonus is a link to Airline Apps. It's the most they could afford.
  3. A former Sq mate went to AFIT as a Maj. He's now at United Airlines.
  4. Disclaimer, I've used this before. So Michigan lost, and Ohio St lost? I'll have a Coke.
  5. Agree, a lot of the classification system is bullshit. Why is something classified? Because the sender or maker made it so, and not necessarily on content. Friday donut sale at the breakroom is secret cause some dipshit sent the message out on SIPR?
  6. Then Cali would snap off the continent and float away at the next fault tremor.
  7. Sounds similar to airline contract negotiations. Maybe some informational pickets will set AF Mgmt straight. Some baggage bling, a lanyard, and stickers for urinals will send the message. OR. Just start showing off UAL, DAL, AA, SWA, etc., bling. Have some fun out there, wish you all the best. I think you'll get it because the AF probably asked for it.
  8. From the video, it sounds like the engine remained at landing power setting for the touchdown, maybe even increasing some when the front fan failed. Maybe the pilot may have been trying to throttle off the power, hence remaining in the jet, but when nothing worked, he punched. Or it took him that long to go through the boldface 😆. Then at ejection the engine then powered down. I'm no F35 person, but maybe some sort of engine cutoff if ejection occurs? If so, ejection kinda saved them both. Now back to your regular daily air strategy debate.
  9. Hail! You motherfuckers! Hail! You big cocksuckers! Hail! Michigan, the cesspool of the world! --- Long live the student section of Camp Randall Stadium ---
  10. Like maybe steer clear of composite airframes? I hear they don't handle bullets very well. Just ask Rooster 73, 74, and 75.
  11. I'd offer that the biggest item to know going in wrt the RLA is perceived job actions and social media. Someone joining now, where most majors are in negotiations, and a newb goes keyboard Rambo because negotiations cause heated emotions, could result in said newb getting the heave ho and turned into an example by mgmt. A. Year 1. STFU except for asking questions and gaining GK/insight. Understand what a job action is and why its bad. B. Be very cautious with forums/FB. Trolls be living there too and love to bait. Some go straight to HR with their complaints. C. Those unfortunate to get lined up in mgmt crosshairs for online behavior, the Union rep will be standing there right beside you.
  12. From the article, The lab said the program has so far focused on kinetic munitions, but is now turning its attention to adding “palletized effects.” I want to see lots of OPR/EPRs using the term “palletized effects.”
  13. One of my favorites
  14. Maybe its a him/she/sher/theyz sorta identity thing. Planes have feelings too.
  15. Different words to make people feel better about exploiting humans for shit jobs.
  16. Probably. Along that line, it was interesting to see when KBR got the award for Djibouti many years ago and let go a few hundred locals that the locals effective blockaded any KBR vehicles from entering/exiting the base, forcing KBR to rehire them. Local PD did nothing. Another anecdote, one month in Salem, a few TCNs spent a few weeks busting concrete using two pieces of rebar, one to hold against the concrete, the other to hammer with. No formal tools, like a chain gang.
  17. Still won't fix anything for pilots there (or any airline really). Pilots need to make it happen, no one else is going to do it.
  18. Maybe thinking of 000 Buckshot, which I think has 8 pellets? Nah, senile and can't remember his talking points.
  19. 180+ day living location. Mess around with it at your tax penalty peril. I've heard of some in our biz try that, but I like freedom and I prefer the IRS chase rich douches rather than me.
  20. Highlights of the Alaskan TA. https://www.alpa.org/ala/-/media/ALA/files/pdf/QG92322.pdf Got a cuz over there, said it was a decent deal and nice that it has the snap-up. Side note, 1 thing I wish our MECs would change is put the TA our for membership reading, then we can let them know our thoughts before they vote for yea/nay on member ratification.
  21. Is senile a race now?
  22. But he just stands there. War zone right? Shot came from somewhere nearby maybe? No evasion? OK, this is kinda fun. I opened Goog translate to read the remarks on the tube vid link. ОФИГЕТЬ, pronounced Okhrenet' means Fuck in Russian. Ha!! Also, when he speaks on the radio, he says, "Bro, everything is fine." But the comments to the comments is a rabbit hole of back-forth Ukraine vs Russia internet bitchfest in their cultural dialog.
  23. The Incom T-65 Quad Rotor, one shot down the exhaust port and Russia blows up.
  24. Here's a comedian giving Herschel a roll of rubbers. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1583144949260095488
  25. But maybe there are some that want to see The Rock in tights and being a meany. Oh wait, that's Pro Wrestling. When its on streaming for free, maybe I'll see it on a commute. Sometimes, all anyone wants is some good ol bashfest between supes cause they don't really get hurt, kinda like Pro Wrestling. So it'll be the WWF/WWE crowd will be in the theaters, and they don't read the SF Chronicle.
