    For those that don't know, Glock has Blue Label deals for active and retired military. Ask your local Glock dealer or go on the Glock website to locate them. The deals are very, very good. I carry the Glock 43 and looking to switch to the 43x to get the additional rounds.
  2. Didnt know a felony conviction went in the plus column on getting hired https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetblue-wont-hire-the-unvaxxed-but-hired-violent-felon-to-fly-planes
  3. Another data point for the not so hot vs crazy chart. https://www.dailywire.com/news/woman-allegedly-torches-ex-boyfriends-home-after-other-woman-answers-phone-there-was-one-thing-she-didnt-know
  4. "If you had been where I told you to be and done what I told you to do, this kind of shit could be avoided!'
  5. I need to file this away for future reference as I might be able to partake in this in a couple decades. "Honey, hand me my walker and a stack of $20s, I'm going to go get a free steak!"
  6. Daughter had to be 70-80 years old. Do strip clubs have AARP discounts?
  7. A poll said @57% of Californians were not happy with the way their state was run and 100s of businesses and 1000s of people leaving the state for a better life but Newsom was 20 points up on his opponent. Just does not compute.
  8. Hey, Whatever it takes so Orange Man Bad doesn't hurt someone's feelings with mean Tweets.
  9. Was this on ESPN 8 "The Ocho."
  10. In general, I think the PA thing is not a good idea. However, back in the day when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I was instructing a student that was a F-4G EWO. Took him out on his first ride in the T-38 and he was pretty much flying with little input from me. He earned an Excellent on the ride which is unheard of. Took him out on his second ride with the same results. I would have soloed him. I did catch grief from my flight commander because he was worried about showing grade progression. I said, "You fly with him" and he did and after the flight told me he agreed with me. But that was very rare. Most students need as much air time as they can get because plans rarely go as expected. If the VR world introduces the unexpected, I might buy that. However, nothing simulates the no kidding "I could get killed" criteria as the real jet which makes for serious judgement judging criteria.
  11. RealClearPolitics.com is showing 47D - 53R in the Senate. They show their data from previous years along with errors in polling in previous years to come up with their prediction.
  12. We might be paying more for gas and groceries, our investments are cratering, and the southern border is a myth but at least we don't to put up with mean tweets. Well done.
  13. His wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.
  14. Didn't the Bond film "Diamonds are Forever" also feature a mobile pipe inspector/welder thing? Maybe the pipeline bomber is a Bond film fan.
  15. That's some serious localized Global Warming right there. SPF 50,000 required.
  16. I think as we get further from this COVID thing and politics take a backseat, the numbers related to injury from the vaccine will not be something the pharma folks will want to talk about.
  17. What about some other party that might benefit from the chaos? Say, the Chinese? Maybe an environmental group that wants some back to the basics Flintstones utopia.
  18. Paint schemes also include Air Cal, Reno, US Airways, etc.
  19. A week ago the rat bastiges at DFW vectored us in right behind a RJ. "You have a 30 knot overtake on the traffic in front of you, slow to final approach airspeed." "We are at final approach airspeed." "American 37 go around." Morons.
  20. Forgot to add that the 787 HUD is a convex piece of glass which creates a focal point so to see all the HUD symbology which is why you've got to get your eyeballs to the correct location.
  21. The HUD image in the 787 is projected from the ceiling onto the glass which had only two positions: up and stowed or down. You have to adjust the seat to get your eyeballs to the correct focal point. Not sure how that works for the vertically challenged on the low end benchmark but for the vertically challenged on the upper benchmark even with the rudder pedals all the way forward, my legs are scrunched up. It's only an issue when doing multiple engine out takeoffs/approaches in the sim and I don't get a break to stretch my legs.
  22. Got snagged for a scheduled deadhead to PHL to fly Rome. I did the scheduled flight in the day prior but the FB was commuting in the day of departure. The FB was commuting from Jacksonville, had two flights cancel, got the last flight available, and landed in Philly 20 minutes from departure. I don't non-rev travel well and the stress of commuting would make me an unhappy camper. However, I fly with a lot of guys that have been commuting for decades and are obviously okay with it.
  23. In 23 years, nobody has asked for it.
  24. Saw this today:. What's the difference between a crack addict and a FO on a 777? You can get an addict off crack. Lots of truth in that joke.
  25. Hhmm, death rates also match obesity rates. Weird.
