I just wanted to say this to be first, but I think we just started watching a 4 year long season of South Park.

It's not socialized, its part of the deal. Socialization would force all Drs and hospitals/clinics to be part of it and all of us forced to use it forever. I have a choice to use it or my employer plan, and my Dr has a choice to participate.

Thems the rules. Prove the lying part, or is it just being forty rucking sack, 20 years on a flight line, etc.?

‘Anxiety provoking’: Government workers describe their DOGE interviews https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/12/government-workers-doge-interviews-016214

Ukraine using a page out of the Israeli playbook. https://www.yahoo.com/news/drone-headsets-sent-russian-troops-153542947.html (underline below my emphasis). Russian soldiers received drone headsets that exploded when switched on, Russian media reported. The state news agency TASS said the sabotaged headsets were supplied via humanitarian aid.

I wanted Kermit D Mahomes to blame all the stupid NFL interviews he had to do leading up to the game as a time suck for his prep. But no, he had to point the fingers at reasonable things. Missed opportunity. So, more stupid interviews about "greatness" and blah blah blah. Let's meme the shit out of this pic, then. PS, I was mildly rooting for the Eagles.

Hey, is Trump going to get rid of this stupid/useless Obamacare tax form that I just got? That alone will save 150+ million pieces of paper, ink/toner, envelopes, postage, mail transport space, mail carrier work, mailbox space, time of tax professionals, time of tax software developers, call center time answering questions about the form, and 10 other things I didn't think of. Get Elon's "Big Balls" on it and EO that shit away.

Putting myself in the RJ's position, this is what I think: Tower asks if they can circle, the crew likely does a quick yes/no chat and answers yes. They quickly answer yes because they think they have the experience to take on that risk. Work load increases. PM probably looks up the RNAV 33 for box entry or goes straight into the box to set up a runway 33 extended centerline, anything to help them find the runway because they know its a tight turn to final with little margin to get it lined up and its night. With talk and action on those tasks, the ears probably tune out anything that's not their call sign as they set themselves up for 33 and look for the runway. Other dude has to fly the plane, maybe autopilot off. If ATC had called out PAT to the RJ, the ears would have perked up and eyes go outside and maybe this is becomes just another HATR in a pile of DCA HATRs. TCAS aural alerts are inhibited at low altitudes (500ft I think) so they probably never got anything from TCAS. Tower reiterating to PAT to "pass behind the RJ" probably isn't enough clue that the RJ is question was them, but it was this point in time where tower should have called the go around for the RJ because PAT was not performing their clearance of maintain separation. Hell, tower could have tried to notify the RJ of PAT at that last transmission which might have still lead to just a super close near miss. But tower put maintaining separation wholly on PAT. Possible fixes. Procedural deconfliction. Like sectors into a FOB, I can see the river as 1 aircraft at a time. Next, full-time helo position in DCA tower, no exceptions. Third, remodeling of some of the approaches into DCA and the helo routes. Fourth, night time restrictions for 33 ops, especially by the airlines. Lastly, slot restrictions on DCA to lower the traffic count. As HeloDude said, PAT is at fault with ATC contributing. Ditto the DISCLAIMER.

Does that mean the the Max is 75's older sister that's had more plastic surgery than a Kardashian, stretched skin, bad boob job (they're quite large, tho), and a sagging ass that scrapes the ground?
-
Naw man, I read the above and I think you're the emo. But hey, since you understand Gaza so much, I'm sure your ideas will absolutely work. Sarcasm switch is still on.
-
Nice bullshit, you come up with that all by yourself? I guess I don't post enough about every issue in the world to establish some stupid online baseline of opinions. Fair. You got me. But your TDS, the version that Trump is the second coming and are thus a deranged acolyte, is just sad. You're the type that when Trump spews dumb shit out of his mouth will just tag it as some brilliant negotiation, versus what it really is, retarded. PS. Any prediction I make is satire, A because it points out the silliness of the idea, and B because it would probably be bad if it really came true. But you know that, I think. Lastly, I think you need a puppy. Here.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
disgruntledemployee replied to Catbox's topic in General Discussion
Can someone post these dudes email addresses? Maybe some counseling from the retired is in order. -
I dislike that when a tragedy occurs, the first thing the media does, besides mess up the facts, is go calling to politicians for comment. It's just part of their shock value to a story.
-
Sounds like EBO. Remember, when it comes to effects based ops, the enemy has a vote and may not go the way you want.

Typical AF. FAFO. They WILL never learn. Honestly, I don't think they want to. Had a bro that sought a job, didn't get it, but somehow found out the back handed deal that went to someone else. They called it out and ended up with a dream job. Leverage is a thing, apparently. -
I have a eerie suspicion on an engine issue and the wrong one got shut down, then loss of control.

So you think his tactics are to loudmouth, get reactions, maybe make some negotiated progress, then back it off? What happens when the tactics fail? What happens when the opposition has his ego dialed in, calls the bluff and doesn't do his bidding? Good chat.

If you're not emotional charged by the possiblity of expending American blood by an occupation of Gaza, you're no better than the asshole generals/pols that push these fights. If Trump wants to occupy Gaza, his kids need to cowboy up and join the ranks and stand the post. And if you feel the fight is right, find a way and join them. PS. Trans should not be in women sports. I so wanted Olympic refs to DQ the trans that was beating up girls. But that's not what you wanted to hear, so Im'ma dick. PPS. Next, you'll be saying Trump should be President for life and that we should stop following the Constitution. Maga Hard Out

I use strong language because its required for fucktarded Trump when he steps on his dick. Maybe you're OK with his antics. Maybe you have a line, maybe you don't. I would hope you have a tolerance level for stupid shit. Maybe. Here's Rand Paul. His trip wire was crossed on this, so I'm not the only one. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/rand-paul-slams-trumps-gaza-plan-after-opposing-tariffs-i-thought-we-voted-america-first/ I'll go back to sippin cervezas at the pool. Good luck to us, looks like we'll need it.

Bud, I don't want to bet that he does it. I don't want him trying to make that happen at all. We don't need more reason for the ME to put their hate upon us. If he does, I imagine Marines in barracks in Beirut. And then we have to respond. And down the rabbit hole we go. Trump pledged America First. Why can he just stick to that? What happens in Gaza pretty much stays there, save the silly students that stage a protest at Berkeley. Why does he need to stick our nose in their shit? What's the goal, stop the flow of Gazan fentanyl? Increase the flow of Gazan oil? What is the US vital strategic importance of Gaza? Thus, I want enough Americans, especially MAGAs, to say, WTF dude.
-
Fify. PS. Since you don't seem to disagree with whatever your boy Trump says, tell me you agree to deploy to Gaza. If retired, you want your F&F/buddies to deploy. Because that's what it sounds like.
-
Typical trope. I call out your boy and you call it TDS. Well, when you blindly follow his shit, I'm gonna call it TEW, for Trump Elephant Walkers. My IRS example point is, nobody will be working in the IRS so there's nobody to go after billionaires that cheat on their taxes, let alone me. Try to keep up here.

Fucking, epically fucking retarded! Not only will it not end well, but it won't ever end. That area is history's epic version of Hatfield vs McCoy and it will never end. And he wants to gut places like the FBI and CIA. Next, some dipshit reporter wrote that Rs think they can wrangle him in. Bullshit. I've seen that movie before. I don't think I'll do my taxes this year and set my withholding to 0. Who's gonna come after me? All those IRSers sitting border guard? The govt is getting hollowed out. Many here may be rooting for the house to burn down. When it gets to your room (VA benefits, retired pay, Tricare, DoD bennies) don't freak out too much. If Rs want to show any spine, they should spike the noms for both Kennedy and Gabbard. Send a message.
-
Yep. Vindman. But if you want to allude that FBI agents doing their job is akin to being a Nazi, isn't the firing of them just the same? Trump ordered their purge so those doing that bidding are just the same, following orders. We can call this one when the lawyers decide.

Most class B airports, the visual approach is STAR/vectors to intercept an ILS/RNAV final. The visual clearance means the controller can space em a little tighter. Smaller airports, like above, or the visual is more on the crew to get it lined up on final. Also visuals are used for terrain airports where instrument approaches restrict ATC to way fewer aircraft. Circling is rare, save for the sidestep which is usually offered well out, but DCA is the exception.
