Outstanding! I formally request a quibbling emoji.
You know, TDS goes both ways, as in one so deranged by Trump love, you can't think rationally or objectively anymore.
As for the topic, what are the benefits of a privatized ATC vs GS employees? Wouldn't it cost more because now someone is now making profit? OK, so ban profits. Now that CEO writes his contract to make $5M. Does said private company have the same oversight and obligation to the FAA/Congress on accountability? Would said company have free reign to set fees, charge more for foreign carriers, cut services to some class D muni, etc? Would that mean no taxpayer funds, thus driving up ticket prices? Would my taxes go down? (I already know thats a fat No). How do you charge that Cirrus doing 30 T/Gs for training? What about the soon to be electrics? They don't buy gas, so how do they pay to play? Do pilots pay by the landing or the vector? Would this drive more VFR flying to not talk to ATC/file a flight plan? Can ATC still give a pilot a ph number to call or is more like a security guard pulling you over for speeding? Most importantly, what effect will this have on safety. And this is stuff off the top of my head.
My point is, some things need to be govt, especially items that serve a broad public. While it doesn't mean it can't work, waiving your hand and saying privatize it doesn't equal lower costs to the tax payers.
Bro I have to ask, are you this unpleasant in real life conversation? I've never seen anything but an angry rant from you. Sincerely I wish you the best.

Just one of his MANY transgressions.
B3 did that while he was 1SOG/CC, not a GO. Did he do it again as a GO? That seems what they’re implying.
An absolutely shameful officer and indictment of the entire system.

Many otherwise well intentioned people on here no longer know if the Russians are the bad guys - but they damn well hate the “progressives.”
It is a deep symptom of societal rot when it is partisan to want to know who is associated with epstein.
1. Russians are definitely the bad guys, but they’re on the other side of the world and have zero impact on my life; whereas progressives are banning free speech and trying to trans my kids. It’s not even close which of those two are my opponents.
2. Everyone criminally associated with Epstein and pedophilia in general should be beaten to death with hammers. If you have proof Trump is guilty of something let’s hear it, but the man had every possible avenue of prosecution against him explored and the D controlled DOJ didn’t link him to Epstein so…. Shenanigans.

Slightly off topic, but somewhat related, anyone have a recommendation for an AME in the Pensacola/Ft Walton area? Recently separated and moved back to the area, and probably going to need to reup my medical before starting at my civ job next month. Dr Brinker in Gulf Breeze had some good reviews, doc in Ft Walton seemed to have some more negative reviews.
I thought there was post someone asking the same thing awhile back but I can’t seem to find it.
PM me, my AME in FWB is good. But I know who the reviews are about, and they’re accurate.

No. And WTF is with the personal attack? Try harder not to be an asshole.
Well, you are getting pre-angry based on a speculative article by a disreputable source. And I did say "might" while you're calling names. Valid shot and you're quibbling 🇺🇸

If this FOGO All Call is just a speech on bullshit, what an epic fucking waste. That's like a Wing/CC holding everyone hostage at 5pm on a Friday to bitch about sideburns.
For Pete's sake, Pete, if this is all it is, cancel it now before you embarrass yourself/USA.

"A White House official separately told CNN that the meeting is meant to be a show of force, demonstrating what the military looks like under Trump."

PS, it'll cost millions and govt is facing a shutdown situation. Bravo, Pete.
You're getting pre-angry based on speculation from a yahoo article? You might be retarded.

I view this administration as chemotherapy. An ugly reality that does a great deal of damage to the host, but it's necessary to removal a fatal malignancy.
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.

Your link on Mormonism is irrelevant to knowledge of the shooters personal religious beliefs. You’re hardening a narrative around assumptions. This is not a convincing argument and you have zero evidence for your assertion.

SpeedofHeat, you're right I don't care about alleged Trump crimes from decades ago with murky evidence and provided by people who have been lying about him nonstop for years. He's not my savior, he just has beliefs I align with and is standing against violent leftist retards, drug lords, Iranian terrorists & an intentionally deceptive media/swamp who threaten our nation. I understand you think he's a really bad guy!
We have a more important crisis to worry about, and in every possible way Trump is better than Kamala.

I absolutely do. I believe Trump and many others were criminally involved. And I believe those on both sides of the aisle are connected and have enough dirt on each other.. mutually assured destruction I think it is called.
For clarity, you think the Biden DOJ had proof that Trump was criminally involved with Epstein, they didn't prosecute him because of mutually assured destruction, but are now leaking because...? If it was MAD last year, what changed?
If you add some details to your theory I could better understand your position. My theory is that this is just another fake scandal, there has been nonstop hints of evidence none of which bore fruit upon close examination. But happy to have a good faith discussion since neither of us know the truth.

Anything to distract from this. It’s almost time to reveal the aliens!Do you really think the Biden admin sat for years on evidence Trump was criminally involved with Epstein?
I don't believe there's anything to this, just another fake scandal. But don't worry, you'll get him this time!

The profits from a single drug boat making it in far outweigh the costs of rounding up the crews' families and telling them you'll cut off all their heads if they don't get in the boat and sail.
So we should let them operate unimpeded because they might hurt us if we resist?
No, they should fear us. Every enemy should fear us. I'm tired of policy by weak dick cucks. Maximum violence is the answer to anyone seeking our harm.

Just to clarify, contrary to my roadside gameplan, I would enthusiastically submit to breathalyzer offered on a jetbridge.
Fun story: Pilot is on his way home from a trip, gets a call from a CP asking why he refused his random test.
Fast forward several years, and lots of litigation, turns out that the minimum wage, non-English speaker with a clipboard didn’t get the job done that day. I’m guessing that the award didn’t make up for the lost income, and stress of having to litigate the case. Unfortunately he was over 65 when the case finally finished.
2 same, my comments were off topic & specifically regarding being pulled over by police; apologies for any confusion I caused.
back on topic- I was hit for a random urinalysis landing on my last trip. It's a good deal (if you aren't late for a commute) because it's 15 minutes of pay for 5 minutes work. But I nearly missed the summons: the person delivering it was not an English speaker, not even close, and was waiting for the CA who they erroneously thought required first contact. Being end of sequence I was leaving ASAP & had an FA not called out to me I would be the one stuck in litigation for "refusing" a test I never knew about.

Serious question - why if you know you’re sober (zero drinks that day)? Aren’t you going to buy yourself a ton of asspain/time lost for no reason?
Because you are already committed to a ton of ass pain/time lost once a cop asks you to perform FST/breathalizer. Ever hear of them letting someone off when they pass? They already think you’re under an influence so any engagement at all will only serve to increase their SA collection from which they will subjectively select more items to justify the conclusion they’ve already reached.
So you now have several hours of dick pain in front of you. Accept that, and position yourself for maximum advantage by demanding blood draw. You cannot win FST or Breathalizer. Cops are trained to tell you lies and it’s legal: “hey just blow in this for me and we’ll have you on your way” or “you seem fine to me but our new policy is everyone does a few FST items just to be sure we’re all safe, it’s just policy & it’ll be quick.” Nope, fights on, maneuver accordingly. Speak the absolute minimum required, stay in your circle, tell them blood draw if detained on suspicion of DUI. Regardless of your sobriety, you are in danger.

Sig is about the get their ass eaten (prison style) in the PR domain. A holstered weapon needs to be 100% inert, too many credible reports of this not being the case. Already some shooting courses are denying entry for participants using the 320 on a liability basis. I’d expect that to cascade and spill over into agency rejection. Not sure how Sig is holding onto their mil contracts at this point. G19 remains undefeated.

Either scenario plausible. Ego is an enemy and we should only fly rested. I can't believe the dumb risks I took flying tired. Without Gods grace I would be CFIT too.

Sorry you feel that way. Unlike many internet boards, my sense is here we have a minimum starting respect for each other based on our shared experience as mil aviators. I trade barbs with others about ideas, but I think if you were walking by my house & it was on fire you'd probably help. I would for you. That's a LOT better than much of the political discourse nowadays; so if someone is constantly pissed it's not bad to mention it & wish them the best. Cheers
