Last week I'm going into SFO at night on the converging visual 28R and ATC calls out the traffic to our left and asks if I have it in sight. We look, point, think we see it but aren't sure as its camo'd in the cultural lights and since it's really converging towards a common point, isn't moving much in the window. So we say no, they cancel our clearance, and we are given a level off. All good things so far for two approaches that could have been better separated laterally. We eventually positively ID'd the traffic and are able to continue the approach. Last night, I didn't hear on the tapes if PSA was ever alerted to PAT. I'm guessing the "Vis-sep" heard is probably the sup. It really sucks to be the ATC guy/ATC sup right now.

PSA was likely right wing high for the turn and blind to PAT and probably looking left for the runway. TCAS should have made an alert unless someone was inop/off, but that is a deeper line of defense. ATC actions should get some scrutiny here like giving PAT more direct actions like hold position or turn. PAT actions will get it too.

I'm gonna guess the research resulted in finding the target.

I am 0.1 mm deep into what AI architecture is, but I heard that the chiners basically developed a different method to do AI, akin to Google creating its search algorithms and taking over the search engine market.

Someone flipped on the lights and the roaches are scrambling.

Dang, my ol girl is more expensive than Barney. PS, who is even flying E models these days? Iraqi AF? "According to the DOD comptroller, as of fall 2022, the average hourly cost of operating a C-17 was about $21,000 and the average hourly cost of operating a C-130E was between $68,000 and $71,000. Based on these figures it can be estimated that the C-17 flight on Thursday that carried 80 migrants from El Paso, Texas to Guatemala City would have cost roughly $252,000. For the same 12-hour flight using the C-130E, it would cost between $816,000 and $852,000." https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/trumps-first-deportation-flights-average-931578

So I'm reading some articles, with the morning Joe, on the recent ICE activities. So far, it's been like a fish warehouse in Jersey and shit like that. 1 article mentioned 1 MS13 dude, a sex assualt guy, and a DUIer. 1 gang banger? One? ICE knew this was coming and should have had a plan, so where's all the headlines on arrests of 100s of MS13, Mex/Central/S. AM gangs, and the likes? Too hard to get the headline? Gotta pick on the dude who's actually doing honest work cutting up your fish vs the cat eaters? Donnie T, please tell me you're doing more than a splash of click bait. If you're going to really do this, do it right. Leave my local restaurant alone, fill the deportion centers with full ink dudes/ettes. I mean isn't there some super ambitious ICE GS15 gunning for SES that could have grand mastered a huge roundup of all the gangs on day 2 of PTPI2? Who's next, that dude that does the song about being born in East LA? (Post Trump Presidential Inauguration 2, a new calendar for these times. Forget Jesus and his BC/AD stuff, this is a biblical second coming).

Well, that'll about cover the Nazi flyby. But really, dude should know better. With Vivek departing Doge and it's just Elon in this made up, no public overnight, do what I want office, I give it until Thanksgiving before Musk and Trump become bitter enemies. Elon ditched Vivek pretty quickly, and his ego has to be bigger than Trump's, so while it seems two heavy fast trains are chugging side by side, ego will loop those tracks into a head on collision. That's 308 days away.

I don't have EMDS (E. Musk Deranged Syndrome), and I think he should stick to cars , but I saw the video and it looks pretty close to a Hitler move. I bet if any of us did that at work tomorrow, a bunch of us might be out of a job, even if we say, my heart goes out to you. He's getting roasted for it, which I think is a good thing. It should remind him to know better, unless of course, he did it intentionally. And that too is a bad look. And silencing the critics just makes more noise.

In his mind, he was never VP or a civillain. In his mind.. ooh, squirrel. Squirrel ice cream... yum... Gum, gumbo, dumbo, hey.. that mouse in that mouse movie... hey.... where am I... You know my son died in war... time to wander ...

Didn't the Supreme Court effectively do that immunity thing for Presidents when ruling on a Trump case?

Ha! My bet is the drawer is empty and everything is ash.

The article goes well beyond the bullshit line of loss of confidence to lead. This is a bow shot to the military leadership community.

Against the people? Nothing. My post well above was about Trump and how he had a penchant for firing his Cabinet, so I placed odds. Now ND is making it interesting, so I'll chat later.

I was not a FAIP, but maybe you were/are. We can pick this back up after the first firing and you can compare it to the firing of Patton, especially if there is a slap involved. Beers!

Quibbling

So you're equating working for Trump as going into battle in a world war? Any other defending comments? The implication is that Trump fired more Cabinet than his predecessors in modern times. I'm sure someone can math it cause I'm lazy, but it was a lot. So I'm going to set some odds.

That part reminds me of this scene from the show, Rescue Me. Not an exact correlation, but I think the point can be made that you want the best qualified in a job like FD Chief, and firefighters in general. Along the last lines of the video, I agree, I don't care what the firefighter looks like, color, ethnicity, etc., but they better be capable of carrying/dragging my fat ass to safety. Great show btw.

So the AF/DoD is going to exploit the shit out of her. Real nice, so I guess it's OK.

Late to the party. WSJ did this reporting back in June. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/joe-biden-age-public-election-campaign-343a47bf

What's the over/under on Trump firing his first Cabinet position? I'm going to set it at 6 months from their confirmation. What's the over/under on a Trump nominee departing office on their own? I'll set it at 6.9 months. Turnover happens, but it seemed like it happened a whole lot more with Donno T.

The Russians are behind this, because, well, that's what they do. So any CC or Gen that enacts this is working for the enemy.
