A buddy who is a long time captain at Delta posted today basically saying through no fault of your own sometimes your luck just runs out. I know they will find the cause and I seriously doubt there was thing anyone of these guys could have done. Same for the people on the ground including a baby from reporting. Rest in peace.

This. https://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/pe/pe-ch40.htm "Communist society passes through two phases of development: the lower phase known as Socialism, and the higher phase known as Communism." That's from the writings of the Economics Institute of the USSR. As Brabus said, it's merely a pit stop on the way to a communist society. Even Marx and Engels didn't really distinguish between Socialism and Communism in their writings. To them, it was all part of the same project. I'm not even convinced anymore that the Left thinks it's a good, workable economic system. I think that's a mask they use to hide envy and a misanthropic desire to destroy things that they can't have or otherwise haven't achieved. It's a hope, desire, and bet on future Schadenfreude.

The best graphical depiction I have seen so far...

God damn that's delicious.

I don’t think losing the one engine (at least in an airbus) is a huge deal, not even hard to deal with. But, all bets are off when it falls off, likely resulting in ruptured hyd lines and fuel cells. Then throw in the alleged loss of the #3 at 500k GW. Screwed…nobody can recover from that.

I will be completely stunned if anything in the report suggests an alternative outcome. It's hard enough to deal with an engine failure during takeoff, but when the engine completely explodes, to expect someone to analyze that in seconds is already a heavy lift. It's what we're trained to do, but that doesn't mean it's easy. But to then have to analyze a second engine starting to fail? No way. And all for what? Based on where the plane was on the runway in the videos we've seen, there was no stopping, and there was no going. At that point you're just arguing over where to put the fireball. I sincerely hope for the sake of the maintainers who were working on that engine over the past couple months that they too are the victims of Fate, and not something that's going to make them feel like murderers for the rest of their lives.

Access is all that matters, which might come back to bite them in the long run.

It's more likely that he was here under a different username. That seems to be another Hallmark of his type. They say enough stupid things they no longer want to be associated with, so they hit the reset button. It's ironic, because they just end up posting the same stupid shit anyways. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Right now they have the advantage since CSOs/WSOs seem to be the bulk of the people that are staying in.

The only applicability of “democratic” in that sense is they were all stupid enough to vote for it via a democratic process, and ironically that currently valid democratic process would soon disappear entirely if their ill-informed plan actually played out fully.

Adding for the metrics. UPT select, first time applying, almost 6 years active duty, 93 pilot, 88 PCSM, 50 flight hours, no ppl, 2/7 uft packages at the wing, rec letter from a Wing/CC who I worked with while he was still wing/cd. Super excited!

Just want to let y'all know that the public list dropped earlier today on MyFSS

Probably cronyism. Thing is, the WH/DoD is not on his side, so why hire what amounts to a burning sack of shit into your company? Anyone here think Hesgeth loses track of him and the company benefits from his hire? Bold strategy, Cotton.

Boss called me this morning. UPT/enjjpt select. 95 PCSM / 99 Pilot / no PPL. 50ish hours

Been watching this YouTube channel series on a WW3 scenario This episode was pretty good with the beginning of the Taiwan operation Definitely influenced by Ukrainian Op Spider Web All too plausible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Newly released view of the inside of the cockpit of the advanced companion trainer for the B-21.

Looks like a UPS jet is down near SDF. 😢 https://www.wlky.com/article/plane-crash-explosion-louisville-airport/69255042 edit: UPS2976
