BFM this

Don't get me wrong, Boeing owns the Max fiasco fair and square. But which is it, 99% Boeing's fault, or it wouldn't have happened here because of our training and proficiency? Ignoring the airmanship (or conspicuous lack thereof) in either Lion Air or Ethiopian is about as valid as completely ignoring it in AF447. Of course, what I really want to know is what the Nav thinks, with two votes on the topic. [popcorn gif]

Shack. I've decided, though I haven't seen any evidence of chicanery, that I'll make it a point just to go sit in on a school board meeting. And make it a point to vote in school board elections. Again, not because I think there is anything nefarious afoot in my little ISD, but because it is clearly important for parents to show up and be visible; if only to shake hands and thank the board members that have taken the time to step up and serve.

My kids school has a sign in the parking lot that reads something to the effect of "Staff is armed and will use lethal force to defend students." I'm not saying that stuff isn't at my kids' school. But maybe not.

lol, yeah, probably not.

You can still land a Boeing...

Ops tested Feb 2021 in TX. Wind and solar make great supplementals, not the main mast of the ship.

Mark the tapes...

While setting the parking brake at the gate on my first IOE leg into ORD, CKA turns to me (still wearing my WTF just happened face) and says “Welcome to O’Hare, world’s largest uncontrolled field.”

https://www.veracityaviation.com/ is where I'm looking at the moment, but I was going to scour the DFW area options before I commit.

Can't help you there. I burned every last month while at school for undergrad. Yeah, that is a phuked up gotcha.

Makes sense now. I received my last semester of MGIB benefit in 2001, so I was ineligible for P911GIB...for the most part. I still have a year of eligibility which I'm planning on using to add rotorcraft to my commercial. Jus for funsies.

Why would you want the MGIB when you should qualify for the P911GIB.

C’mon, could you Nazi that coming?

The dissonance is strong in this one...

Ok, I'm confused here. Are you saying that the man on trial was part of a White House Fellowship, or are you wearing a smoking jacket while typing BODN posts? Honest question.

Was AD with a guy furloughed from AA (~2006). He’d been in class for the 72 panel on 9/11. He had been in said class with a fellow new hire, who had come over from the left seat at a fledgling purple tailed cargo outfit. No shit.

I would submit that Mattis meets the intent of your question.

Ahem! Uhh Mr. Mayor, point of order...

DFW has been awarded on newhire’s first vacancy bid lately. Barely out of indoc, that quick. March just published a few weeks ago, and the DFW plug had been on property 5 weeks (Sep 8 hire, Oct 15 final award). So that new hire should finish IOE around now, commute to LGA/MIA/LAX till their DFW effective date of Jan 1. For that matter, based on the forecasts contained in the vacancy announcements, I can’t imagine that DFW won’t make a showing in the indoc drop shortly.

That was an easy call in May of last year when we crested five weeks into “two weeks to flatten the curve”. This was at its essence, a $30T behavior modification exercise. And it has been successful beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. Expect all of our learned vocabulary and behaviors to be trotted out on a regular basis. I was expecting “a particularly bad flu season 😳😰😱”, but COVID19-2 is also a reliable plot device.

Lest it be missed in all the discussion. To that AC willing to stand up, stand by their decision, and get publicly shot in the lips:
