Definitely see that and the difficulty there, just summarizing in one sentence the new white paper. They also essentially said they would use force if they felt like it despite 16-19 pages of saying how peaceful the CPC is.

In China’s new paper, they want to have the same conciliatory environment in Taiwan that allowed them to fold Hong Kong so quickly.

They’re definitely on the verge of some economic problems and unrest…they have some heavy handed crackdowns going on, and I’m sure they welcomed the Taiwan visit as a distraction to help solidify some of their home support.

That’s assuming one can actually get into a Centurion Lounge. Their membership has far outpaced their capacity.

We can’t quote that one again…

On a fixed gear airplane, though, right?

Nothing exciting really that I’ve seen: one just extremely unpleasant guy who called every female on the radio a dumb bitch or whiny bitch in cockpit conversation (plus didn’t understand LNAV/VNAV system which got us questionable at one point when he changed modes on me while I was PF), and another guy that again didn’t understand LNAV/VNAV and continually reached across the cockpit to with my automation modes while I was PF and put us in a precarious clearance compliance position by doing so. Neither were instructional situations nor were they check airmen, nor did they properly take the airplane. Did the pro standards dance, but not people I care to deal with again at this pay rate.

You’d think that congress that has an average age of 96 would be acutely aware of the insidious mental decline at advanced ages that the FAA Class 1 can’t account for.

The arguably less capable aircraft? On brand.

How noble to have to troll all by yourself.

FOs will have a no-fly list. CAs kind of get stuck typically.

You write like IBM AI trying to fit in with humans using a minimum word count parameter. I’m sure if you went back and edited all posts with APA citations humans might agree with you though, Watson.

Neither is your technique of oversharing your stream of consciousness incoherence a particularly good technique for spreading coherent ideas instead of random words, but alas here we are.

No, you’re the one that’s lacking, using terms without specificity/inaccurately; you put in the effort. It’s a series of books, start at the beginning you need the whole picture. Sometimes he has a free online course, or you can “not put in the effort,” I don’t care but you’re the one who looks foolish.

You’re using it (your wife example) saying you’re trying to be logical, but you’re actually appealing to emotion and keep showing that you don’t know what political violence actually is. Par for the course, you should read some Paul Collier, but until then here’s some cliffs notes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence Edit: and it sure as shit doesn’t meet the legal sense of violence, but that doesn’t mean it was smart.

As evidenced by those same politicians keeping their hydrocarbon heavy luxury lifestyles.

Caveat, not at either, however another FDX pro is the travel bank; UPS guys I talk to freely admit the FDX system is better for that.

By definition, only need one airplane left for single pilot ops. Real question is will there be enough pilot(s) left?

You carry one of these in your flight bag? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4514916/Footage-shows-Darpa-s-robot-pilot-flying-737-sim.html Just on a regulatory basis, it’s certificated for two pilots, and the FAA isn’t very quick these days.

Yeah, I meant staff the airline better at all facets like ramp/gate/FA and pilots obvis. You’re right, with the pilot staffing and training level they’re at, all the money won’t fix it. Just time to get trainees through.

I mean, the airlines could pay for more staff. Or they can overbook and bank on an algorithm on how many people will/won’t show and have lower costs, but potentially cancel some and burn a few customers. Penny pinchers go for the second route. SWA used to be the exception, but nowadays the CEOs really don’t give a shit about customer service, just about share prices and cutting costs.

Debatable whether anyone is concerned with operational readiness.
