  1. At least he passed his duties to his deputy.... Who was on vacation.
  2. You can do anything once. (See articles regarding crazy mechanic at Horizon.)
  3. I would say calculation as percentage of GDP isn't as important as percentage of fleet power projection. Losing one jet out of thousands isn't as critical as losing one jet out of hundreds.
  4. Doing wide body FO, I usually work 9 days or 12 if I pick up an extra trip. Had a CA ask me why I didn't bid CA then tell me the senior FOs should bid domestic CA to share their knowledge. My response was "Hell no!".... Along with some other colorful descriptive commentary on domestic flying.
  5. Makes you wonder about the competence of a person that can be missing without informing his boss and nobody seems to care.
  6. Admittedly, I retired in 2011 but WTF is up with the Q3 thing? A Q3 was unheard of in the fighter community. Did your CCs just hate themselves and their fellow aviators?
  7. How could someone disapprove of an Eleanor Roosevelt quote!
  8. There's too much CGI going on here. Too many fingers.
  9. Miracles occur on many flights and the lame are cured and can walk again!
  10. Got to dip your toe in the crazy pool every now and then to check the temperature.
  11. The level of woke stupidity knows no bounds. My son is an engineer for Texas Instruments. He does validations on chips produced and then writes spec sheets and user manuals for TI customers to use. After he writes these things, various departments review them for accuracy, etc. and make comments. So, he fires off his latest documents and the HR department makes the comment "can not use the term "disable" as it is not inclusive." In other woke news, the Daily Wire is releasing "Lady Ballers" tomorrow.
  12. Maybe they are taking sub hunting to the subs home turf.
  13. 1200 hours in the T-38 and never had a scary moment during a circling approach. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the "my jet" and go-around with selected throttle position proportional to pucker factor during overhead patterns. Roll, relax, max works every time.
  14. If you can put wheels on it, somebody is going to challenge somebody else to a race.
  15. Haven't seen any video of beheaded babies but I did see a video that puts that in the realm of possibility. The Hamas animals had shot a guy and he is laying on the ground probably dying but not dead. So, seeing how this person is defenseless, why not not kick him in the head and beat on him with your gun or whatever you have handy. The guy on the ground makes a very weak attempt to cover his face. At this point, one of these barbarians enters the video with a large rusty garden hoe and begins to chop at this guys neck to cut his head off. Again, the defenseless guy on the ground is not dead when this begins but after a few wacks, he isn't moving anymore. Curtis Lemay said, "You kill enough of them, they will stop fighting." Israel needs to kill enough, preferably all, of them so they leave Israel and hopefully the rest of civilization alone.
  16. The jet is channeling it's inner Mel Gibson and taking a page from the playbook of revolutionary war hero Francis "The Swamp Fox" Marion hiding in the swamps...."Come and find me bitches!"
  17. Mr. Sanctuary City Adams has an additional 20K students due to illegals. NY spends north of $24k per student so NY taxpayers are on the hook for something around $500 million. I'm sure they will be whining for federal dollars shortly. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2023/09/09/nyc-schools-illegal-immigrants-n2628152
  18. There's crazy and then there is batshit crazy. And about those online dating apps....... https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-woman-who-stabbed-online-date-sin-city-revenge-plot-blames-hollywood-actress
  19. You keep up this nonsense about superior California Mexican food and we are going to have a serious conversation. Why are people leaving California for Texas? Jobs? Maybe. Taxes? Possibly. Better cost of living? Probably. Better TexMex food? (And BBQ). Absofuckingloutely.
  20. Fear, sarcasm, and ridicule is more than just a catch phrase. It's a valuable teaching technique!
  21. Makes you wonder what the numbers look like comparing others accused of similar crimes of tax evasion or illegal gun possession given generous plea deals. I've seen one unverified number of 0, zero, nada "diversion programs" for gun crimes. DOJ playing favorites? Say it isn't so!
  22. If goes both ways. Nothing like a chick boomer that gives good radio to start a politically incorrect conversation on the inter-flight freq. I fly the flag on my boat while I'm contemplating whatever -ist or -ism I might be accused of by those without a better argument. The flag generates questions and explaining the history of Yankee Air Pirate is a good time.
  23. Well, you offered up plenty of titles to attach to my pronouns but left out my personal favorite!
