  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Debatable whether anyone is concerned with operational readiness.
  5. You’re smart enough to see the point, you are probably just willfully acting like it doesn’t exist here to just act like you’re “right”: If it doesn’t bother the electorate enough to elect someone with different policies, then clearly they’re fine with the policies being enacted. That’s what they’re saying about which group has been in general instituted the most restrictive covid policies and why their voters must be ok with it.
  6. I mean you could really question what an ABM really does at any rank.
  7. Yeah, they define themselves by the conflict they seek, so are not content without a further cause.
  8. Correct, there is no penalty to the airline to continue working under the status quo after a contract is amendable aside from potentially not attracting or retaining as many pilots as needed (generally a problem more for ulcc types).
  9. It’s almost like we made it up post Gulf War with no real purpose.
  10. Side note: many at AA have been on the APA sucks so let’s go ALPA train…and the totally underwhelming agreement that came out for a vote from the NC at UALPA was just proof that it’s not the easy fix solution to switch to ALPA.
  11. Both totally underwhelming and can’t wait for Ferguson to be out at APA.
  12. It seems like the only breakdown the new site is capable of is, “you put in some monies.”
  13. Yeah, other CEOs must be salivating about only having to meet/beat this offer.
  14. From what I’ve seen, incredibly underwhelming. Small pay increase with hits on QoL. Break even ta at best.
  15. If it’s the will of the populace, why hasn’t the legislature enacted legislation? That’s the avenue for democracy in our system to establish policy, if you remember your basic education.
  16. Any argument against your opinion is not implicitly anti democratic, however you have no interest in arguing honestly.
  17. You can try convincing yourself of your moral superiority with fabricated truths like this post, but it doesn’t change what you have actually said and demonstrated.
  18. Because you trash anyone who disagrees with you about Putin being in the wrong…and you keep reinforcing your inability to not be a total jackass on this topic with anyone who disagrees with you.
  19. Just labeling your demonstrated behavior because any time anyone does make the argument that Putin’s being an imperialist asshole trying to erase Ukraine and re-start the Soviet Union, you just whitewash it with “NATO provoked this yada yada yada Putin was justified, trust me I’m an expert.” There’s no genuine room for discussion there, but nice try.
  20. Reference your PhD man crush here. Maybe you guys can get together and talk about how justified this invasion was and trash anyone who disagrees.
  21. I have SA, you’re the tumbleweed one who can’t see past your infatuation with Putin. Keep thinking you’re an expert and talking down, sure sign of someone who knows what he’s talking about.
  22. Your reading comprehension is lacking oh academic overlord. I didn’t ask why he hasn’t invaded the Baltics yet, just calling out your PhD crush for being wrong. Also, yes you talk down to everyone who doesn’t agree with you that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is justified by calling them academically illiterate, a sure sign of your geopolitical adeptness and superiority. You can’t answer with reality, just your “academic” fantasy.
  23. Keep thinking you’re the only one that can understand geopolitics here, it’s really making you seem open minded.
  24. Ah yes, a PhD is the prerequisite to discussing a topic. Totally valid critique of this dude’s theory from Prosuper since Putin’s justification is pure BS and he’s just doing genocide through imperialism. But keep simping for Putin.
  25. I’m sorry, we’re looking for MLA.
