Just finished recurrent training and lots of conversation about the JFK incursion and the new procedures. My sim partner was another high time 787 FO and we came close to the new procedures covering everything but erred as to was supposed to do them. We had the same new CKA under supervision on the two sims and they said we did great because we got everything. I figure it's AAs jet and we can do whatever procedure they want. However, what would have made more sense would have been to implement before start/taxi the first quarter, before takeoff second quarter etc. And this is without even raising the question why the 787 even needs this crap because we have the awesome ECL (Electronic Checklist).

During the last election cycle, something like 60% of Californians were unhappy with how their state was being run but Newsome wins reelection by a 20 point margin. You can't fix stupid.

Hawaii and Alaska??? Hell no. California, Oregon, and Washington.... Can I get back to you on that?

I've got a lock on my garage door it's all good.

Just a couple days ago, Driving back in the dark from Narita to DFW over the Pacific ocean about 140W, we are on pretty much an easterly heading about FL 350. We start seeing a light that would appear, flare up brighter, burn for about 20 seconds, then go out. This happened approximately every 40 seconds for several minutes with some larger time gaps. The lights had a high to low motion with a slight right to left track. Looking through the HUD, the lights were anywhere from 2 degrees to 6 degrees above the horizon with no range estimate available. The sun was still well below the horizon in from of us. I'm thinking it was refections off satellites but the repetition was weird. I don't know enough about satellite density and orbital mechanics to hazard a guess. I've seen satellites, the space station and space shuttle reentry and know what those look like and this was nothing like those.

What the hell was Hugh Grant thinking??

Got woke then broke.

Not enough tattoos and too many teeth to qualify for Walmart employment. I call shenanigans.

And trying to find the right spot on the wing to block out that stupid blinding light was always a good time.

It's the Walmartizination of airline travel. Cut product and personnel trying to maximize profit and leaving no margin for error. Cancel one flight when running 90% load factors and folks are going to be stuck for a while. Cancel a bunch of flights and fit hits the Shan.

But if the murder bent pilot had run a couple trees through the chipper after committing the crime, the rental store employees would not have remembered him triggering the search for the credit card plus he would have had plausible rationale for renting the chipper in the first place thus working more favorably in his legal defense versus "No your honor, nobody has ever returned a clean chipper shredder".

My understanding was this guy got caught because he cleaned the wood chipper. The machine was so clean the people at the rental store remembered him and when he rented it.

I've known some military guys to do some really crazy stuff and end up incarcerated so I wouldn't single out airline pilots for bizarre behavior. That being said, I flew with our VP of Flight and asked him what was the strangest thing he had to deal with as a Chief Pilot. He said he got a call from a County Sheriff in Tennessee that had arrested one of our pilots because he was running up and down the street barking at cars....while naked. The pilot got help and returned to flying. I flew with a former Domicile President and asked the same question. He told me he got a call because one of our pilots had trashed his hotel room on a layover and was found passed out drunk in the room....with a goat. Not sure of what became of the pilot or the goat.

Comment from an old school Flight Attendant: "Sexual harassment will not only be tolerated, it will be graded."

OMG!!! I'm a victim of grooming! I feel so used. Lured me in and convinced me to throw high explosives all over the planet while drinking heavily and singing rude songs with my fellow Hawg drivers. I'm going to need a whole lot of counseling by a hot blonde, an emotional support puppy, and a case of good Irish whisky to fix this.

"Rectum?? Hell, damn near killed him!!"

But the spoke-persons for the democrat party, i.e. the media, will never call Brandon on his outright lies. Trump's bullshit statements were breathlessly reported and repeated 24/7 along with comments regarding suitability for the office. But Mr. Top in his law class, 3 degrees, plagerized speeches, stormed the beaches of Normandy, and inventor of the semi-colon gets a free pass.

I want to know what the call sign was.

I wonder if this is a similar scheme to Hunter Bidens paintings. Just giving money to someone for no apparent reason looks nefarious but buying something from that person, no matter how ridiculous, is completely legal. The card thing might be a way around campaign finance laws.

Hey, this is Fort Worth, also known as Cow Town and known for cattle round ups and rodeos. I think he got his 8 seconds in the saddle and bailed. We'll have to see how the judges score his ride for style points.

Sounds like the name of a punk rock band.

Ineffective masks poorly fiitted and gloves worn continuously throughout the day will stop the virus! What's next? Sacrificing virgins in volcanoes to stop earthquakes? Maybe chopping heads off to honor the gods to make the rain fall. A stupid person is scary, am ignorant mob is dangerous.

In UPT, I Launched out in a T-38 as #4 in a 20 second trail departure in crappy weather to about FL200. Broke out on top, picked up a visual on #3, plugged in the blowers and started climbing to catch him. After some time climbing and approaching the top of block, my feeble brain comes to the conclusion something ain't right about the time I vis ID "#3" as an Evergreen International 727. Oops. Rolling the jet on its back, I see the other 3 jets about 4000 feet below me and I'm hoping they didn't notice as I rejoin. All my IP said was "Nice recovery."

We were putting F-22s into Holloman and had some concerns about the taxiway surfaces and it was cheaper to repave most of the taxiways than repair or replace an engine.... And then we moved the F-22s out a couple years later.

Doesn't look like either side has a whole lot of trust in the media but definite Republicans less than Democrats. https://issuesinsights.com/2022/12/05/media-tailspin-continues-as-trust-hits-record-lows-ii-tipp-poll/
