    showing pics of their Porsche, Seneca (and Bonanza), their 200k+ backyard pool (house near a famous beach),

    This, and more......   seems to me to be a preponderance of non mil "c"aptains that love to show me pics of all the material assets they own as well as all the money they're forking out to fund junior's college experience.  Yawn.  No idea that the guy in the other seat had to fund his own way to higher education, enlistment, endless deployments, etc.  Maybe I was raised with a different outlook on fiscal responsibilities but it does get old.....

    False. Just because testosterone levels are lower does not mean that the kinematics of a biological male have been changed to that of a biological female. Quit using disingenuous arguments.

    For the win…

    Yeah no shit, my original post was about NCAA rules regarding testosterone treatment and legal levels.

     

    But since you bring it up, would you say that if a transgender athlete undergoes testosterone treatment and has brought their levels down to the same as the average female that it would be fair for them to compete with women?

     

    No

    These incidents have dropped dramatically since I started laying over mostly in Midwestern small cities”

    Couldn't agree more.  What a difference between layovers in othe(R) cities vs say PDX, SFO, DEN, MSP, NYC, etc.  Amazing how 16th St in Denver has gone downhill from a decade ago.

    By literally, I mean, antifa attacked whatever they wanted to, BLM attacked whatever they wanted to, and then the crowd joined in and buildings were burning.  In Portland, OR, USA.

    Uh, sir, those were "peaceful" protests......or so that's what the response was when checking into the hotel for a Portland layover and asking the agent if there were still any riots ongoing lol

    Except for the part that incentives nuclear power. That's the one silver lining

    Oh and all the EV/solar/energy efficient booolshit cause, well, up here in the Great White North that's real beneficial....lol

    That is valid, but it’s also less satisfying than showing up at the finance desk in your bag, sleeves rolled, sunglasses on top of your head, looking around like:

    I keed…mostly 😎

    Well what's the fing point doing that when finance is closed anyway.

    Just upgrade, then you don't have that pain anymore.  Plus then you'd only have to work 1-3 days a month 🤣

    True, but then you start right back where you started on the seniority list where the QOL is minimal.  Pay may be 40-50k more per year BUT that's based on working the full schedule per month (which I don't/won't do).  Ultimately the 70/20/10 rule applies anyway....70% of folks are a pleasure to fly with, 20% are 50/50, and 10% are on the avoid list!!  And when you only plan to do this job for a few more years anyway and retire in the mid-50's to enjoy life....what's the point!!

    Why even work for the airlines?

    Hmmm….paid sick leave, free non rev travel, 4 weeks paid vacation, an extra paycheck each month, if I want to make more money to buy that boat/airplane I have the OPTION to do so, company pays 16% into 401k. Anything else I missed?

    Which airline let's you work 2-4 days a month?

    Ahh, yes, I did forget to mention you still have to be in the ARC, which for me provides a few more days of obligation which I still "enjoy" (the flying that is).  The triad (family, airline, military) is a careful balance.  Careful guys because the years go by too fast....life is short
