Guess they repaired that bird with another one that had a dual engine failure. Called it the Frankenvark and it never would fly straight…

But definitely a narrowbody. “The pilot became visibly enraged, broke the lock on the door and forced the bathroom door open pulling the passenger out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles…”

this is the most important dibs of my life.

Apples to Oranges. A lot of people have died for no reason under the guise of “freedom” and I guess I’m not one that supports that. When real freedom is at stake I have no doubt I’ll be there. Also not sure how you keep up with the 1v5 debates on here. Seems like a full time job so kudos for sticking with it 😂

Corrupt Ukraine or corrupt Russia. I don’t know what their cause is? Sure ain’t worth dying for. But if you insist it is.

That’s the most insane part, it’s so predictable yet when it happens all we see is shock and confusion. Followed by a company message about how amazing we handled it but all I see are 1,000s of pissed off people in every terminal and delays and cancellations that stack for a week.

Depends on the airline but it wasn't that uncommon in the Mormon air force. Seniority combined with instructor pay and some people cross that threshold of willing to go back to the bottom of the list. You get your fair share of "unique" people but most are good people who just didn't strike the gold mine of timing.

Those be some fancy @hindsight2020 words

Great now my repressed memories of St Johns are back...

I’m surprised this dude hasn’t been fired yet. His ethos seems opposite of what SECDEF and co are looking for? probably just isnt on their radar yet? Hegseth - “He, like me, wants a Pentagon laser-focused on lethality, meritocracy, warfighting, accountability and readiness.”

That hits a little close to home.
