The New York Times..... Now there is an unbiased source of information.

Reminds me of the 80s movie Gung Ho, make 15,000 cars a month or else…quality be damned Banking, enrichment training, etc…. If 1500 aeronautical ratings per FY is the one metric to go by then wing’em but give them post graduate training/enrichment training post T-6 and winging. Choir preaching but if there is waiting prior to FTU then give the Bobs a “win” while fixing the glitch I’m just a rando on BO but the training / program I’d advocate for would be affordable in the grand scheme, earlier I estimated about $230k in training costs, probably it would a bit less. Call it Mobility Pilot Training, whatever but justify by accomplishing tasks that these guys would be doing in their MQT after FTU, giving training & familiarity with NVGs, STOL, etc… If the FTUs can’t intake, build an infrastructure that can productively occupy your recent graduates while reducing subsequent training costs and risk, better prepared students perform better in WAY more expensive to fly aircraft and sims. Buy the training you need not new airplanes if the Bobs push back on acquiring new iron. Establish 3 programs, feather in grads from each of the main UPT bases as availability allows. - STOL program using a ME aircraft like a Twin Otter or Cessna Courier. Application to ACE is self evident and time/experience building. - Tail dragger course. Builds stick and rudder skills. - Sim based course for Transport category, probably should be the last course but introduction to fully automated flight deck, management of systems, experience building.

Could it possibly be that Disney executives are spineless pussies who cave to pressure from all sides? Bill Maher had a great commentary on that this past weekend, one consolation for Jimmy that he said was “well, at least you won’t have to pretend to like Disneyland anymore!”

Wait…I thought the left said that Trump is who caused Kimmel off the air because Trump is against free speech? So did Trump change his mind, or…?

kimmel is a fool and what he said in the moment was entirely inappropriate. it's fine that he's back on air. i wasn't a fan of what the FCC guy said...government has NO place censoring speech. Just because the Biden Admin massively censored free speech during COVID doesn't make it right. kimmel's ratings are in the trash...dude averages 160,000 views per night. he's shouting into the wind and no one cares.

No offense, but even Ms. Cleo knew you were going to post something about this. Key quote in case you didn't read the whole thing "...because [Homan] had not held an official government position at the time of the meeting with undercover agents..." It's difficult to get bribed if you have no governmental authority, one of the key elements of the crime. Also has anonymous sourcing, so excuse me if I'd like to see a bit more before I get concerned.

Well said. It's also why the democrats haven't found purchase with their various "outrages" as they search for leverage to sink the Trump behemoth: they've miscalculated how deeply pissed people are about the system they created. Dems aren't going to find a Trump tweet that turns his base against him, because we don't care about him. He's a change agent. And frankly I want more radical than I'm getting.
