BFM this

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:

Lol, you don’t have to be a WCoS to know that’s a foul. Hell, I’ll bet the LTs in the room knew it was fucked up like polio as soon as it was happening. This is like busting a rule on a checkride; from the WG/CC’s perspective, his hands are probably tied with respect to the outcome at this point.

I guess I will both agree, and at the same time respectfully disagree slightly with your position. I do want a certain moral fiber woven into my kid’s school day, but I will also admit that it’s a very specific moral fiber that I’m referring to. And I specifically moved (for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to) from VA to TX, and the atmosphere difference was better than I could have hoped for. Citizenship, civics, civic duty and virtue, and yes, even general principles on how not to be an asshole. I’ll also concede that it’s a slippery and perilous slope should the school board take a turn for the worse while the parents are asleep at the switch. Southlake, TX, for example.

Every flu shot that I received was under threat of the UCMJ. Haven't had one since. ...also haven’t had the flu since then so 🤷🏼‍♂️

As we’ve seen, also dubious...

Exactly Which is why the spike in morbidity/mortality is notable. That there is no potential for causality, while valid as a null hypothesis, is more dubious than its counter hypothesis. 2000/4years vs 5000/.5years is an extreme jump, no matter how you parse the data.

So...pre-COVID, old people weren’t getting flu shots? Your supposition might be correct, but leaves doubt.

Masks are just the prop. It's about publicly enumerating who is vaccine compliant.
