  1. Where in the constitution does it say the federal government has a duty to protect the citizenry from financial ruin?
  2. I don’t know if that’s a battle worth picking ....

    I am of the other camp on pistol calibers....bigger holes are bigger. a lot of the “kick” has to do with the weight of the pistol. A super lightweight “lady” gun (lady smith revolver in 357 for example) has a sharp angry kick. An all metal 1911 does not .... and as an added bonus can be used as a blunt implement if you’re out of ammo
  4. Yup. Another swing at bat. Just be aware that being a faip May close some doors further down the road. For example, Fighter WIC is/was much more of a challenge to get into as a former faip.
  5. The DPE was the only worthwhile part of accessible aviation ... and I don’t know if he’s still giving check rides. Avoid crazy Carl.
  6. Once they get 12-15 years old, paper thin, and the threads turn a bit purple ... they’re super comfortable.
  7. Midget isn’t a race...it’s hilarious

    California is so stupid
  9. People usually fuck themselves by not knowing that they are the target. never pass up the opportunity to shut the fuck up.
  10. Masters degree helps with your airline apps as well .... just sayin
  11. It was the summer of Hoss. And it was glorious
  12. When it went back down to 60, I had 45 days i had to burn that year. that was a good summer.
  13. I / we’ve been calling it Kung flu since it started. Keep up!
  14. So porny. Very nice. Stay strong!
  15. The $3 question is ... if AA declares bankruptcy are those guys still getting their 50 hrs?
  16. Faips progress a bit faster than their peers... slightly. But not really important. Your issue highlights why Adair T38s worked fairly well. Cheap, plentiful, and UPT newbies that went there got faip-like hours with added tactical experience. As an added bonus the Tyndall Adair kids got to fly to/from/in the same airspace and see the b-course missions and debriefs (from the other side of the table). I think it freed up a lot of brain cells later since they weren’t having to learn motherhood (to from airspace, shot Val litany, etc) fresh in the b-course. also was the way upt next was headed (at least last I heard). UPT to IFF to Adair to bourse.
  17. Yes, you continue to accrue 2.5 days/month while on leave. 21 days permissive (Cc’s discretion) for job hunting as well. You also accrue leave during those 21 days.
  18. No actual changes yet. still in contract negotiations. the proposals are all in addition to current 16% DC. and the proposals are: -increase to 25% DC -create an optional market based cash balance plan for when you hit IRS limits on 401k —tax deferred. —in your name. —not managed by ALPA nor delta. —guaranteed principle protection (at the cost of low returns). the rub is the proposed “minimum balance” for everyone for the MBCBP. So if you retire soon, delta has to throw a bunch of $$ into your MBCBP account to get you to the min balance. If you’re young, you’d likely get your min balance from DC overages going into the MBCBP. Opinions vary wildly. And this section hasn’t been negotiated yet. I doubt the plan survives first contact at the table in its current form.
  19. And, of course, it should go without saying...but
