For podcast listening: The Cold War: What We Saw https://billwhittle.com/tag/the-cold-war-what-we-saw/ He also did a podcast on the space program which is also great listening.

With either job, you would get a pay raise just by moving out of CA.

ClearedHot, you are obviously ignorant! You forgot Hunter Biden s business partners, the Chinese! Come on, man! Nothing like trying to get through the Great Internet Firewall of China while visiting that country to drive that point home.

The further we get from 1984, the closer we get. With the recent history of government agencies involved in sketchy behavior with a noticable political bent, what could possibly go wrong?

He has never had an original thought in his political life and parrots what he is told to say. Combine this with the obvious signs of senility and I'm guessing his awareness of the economic condition of the country is close to zero.

Interesting numbers regarding conservative Twitter accounts. Can the minions at Twitter see what is coming? https://nypost.com/2022/04/27/its-about-time-to-crack-open-big-techs-black-boxes-which-suppress-conservatives/

Yep, always the FNG that thought he would show motivation and seriousness by showing up early only to take a verbal beat down while being informed his job is to learn to be a fighter pilot and be ready to fly whether on the schedule or not. Had to explain that to several new guys. RTUs should teach that.

That was attributed to pilot error doing a full rudder deflection swap which caused the rudder to fail. Not that I agree with the findings but that's what they said.

Yes, you can fly it single pilot if the other pilot isn't horrendously incompetent and keeps touching switches. Self induced problems were apparently a trend item with this guy.

The conversation is also happening at AA where he was hired.

Ammoseek.com is a website that does internet searches.

I flew the 737, not the Max version, and my understanding was A) the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches still work and would have stopped MCAS, B) the jet is controllable with full nose down trim but only at slower speeds (w/flaps?), and C) higher airspeeds put too much pressure on the stab and that pressure prevents manual trimming of the stab. Any 737 guys with better info?

Yeah, I don't how someone would fall to do something, anything to stop the aircraft from accelerating uncontrolled. Never say never but I don't think the Max accidents would have happened within US or European airlines.

I've wandered into and out airport sans mask. My only encounter with anyone making a comment was a TSA lady at the Known Crew Member entry who asked "Do you have a mask?". I replied "Yes" and kept walking. She laughed.

Could have been a botched go-around. If you select gear-up prior to bringing the flap lever up from landing flaps (25 or 30), you will get the configuration warning. But if I've got a low altitude flight control issue and don't hit the ground while cleaning up the jet, whatever works is fine with me.

Can't say I've got excellent recall on them but it sounds like autopilot disconnect and configuration (e.g. gear not down and landing flaps selected, speed brakes extended, etc.) warnings.

I'm not sure I can withstand the outrageous level of bogosity.

I don't think complaining about a biased media helps but I'm going to keep complaining anyway. Over the last 4-5 years, Think of the very long list of "bombshells," "the walls are closing in," and "the beginning of the end" declarations based on "anonymous," "off the record," or "sources inside say" information that were total fabrications yet the media slobbered over those stories endlessly. No facts, no problem. Yet, any story that contains factual credible information that might shed light on the corrupt dealings of their own party (yes, most media works for the democrat party) gets ignored.

Twitter feed of mostly Russian and come Ukrainian military equipment destroyed or captured. The video of John Deere tractors dragging off T-80s is something I wasn't expecting. https://mobile.twitter.com/uaweapons?fbclid=IwAR3BlDhCf8vBzxNPmSF3dgpqzo2yjcKr6_VJDDt5Lz-JJhiFRf_hX37oPjY

He could switch teams and compete against the women. Probably kick ass and medal into his 50s vs finishing way down the list at 24.

My youngest did an engineering ethics class getting his EE degree and did a paper on Boeing for the class. Building the 737 MAX to "save money" had cost Boeing @ $34 billion up to that point.

Some stories keep bringing up Georgia Tech along with this IT guy. So far, it sounds to me like there was a government contract to do work with governmental IT systems. I'm not an IT guy but I'd guess there were classifications and clearances given, Non-disclosure agreements signed , etc. associated with that contracted work. Violating those clearances and NDAs probably come with a criminal statute and sentencing guidelines. Sharing government data probably violated both.

Kids in bounce houses...... so terrifying.

Being a little generous with the ordnance, I think. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/9a8f5085-1f4d-4f61-a059-fd503680c2e2
