  1. You’d think the agency would be all over an app like that; something so simple that would frustrate the shit out of an advance.
  2. 2nd to the above. Learning the contract and work rules is kind of a job in and of itself for the first 2-3 months, but good to accomplished on reserve or at cruise as applicable. Learning the shenanigans crew scheduling may try to pull from the regional guys, running things past the captains, or by experience is like any other threat. Avoid and suppress, then funnel up to union rep.
  3. Russians lost at hockey? Probably go time.
  4. More that there were so many assignments available even the bottom of the class was getting them.
  5. They’re already at the UN saying there’s a genocide in Donbas against Russian speakers. Can’t wait.
  6. Not yet. I’ll have to look for it, but I did watch this one:
  7. Maybe he meant to post the one from yesterday?
  8. If they stick an accurate FPM on that display, would make it less weird probably…but otherwise yeah.
  9. Also another shoutout for Jon and Trident. Similar results about a month ago for a 2.25% and 5% down.
  10. It was likely the flippant and polarizing way in which you have supported those positions to which he was referring, but keep self-generating examples of polarized bs with zero self awareness.
  11. In the future I might buy that, and agree we should pursue aggressively because in the present my LNAV/VNAV system still pushes the throttles up as it simultaneously tells me drag is required to meet the next altitude/airspeed in the descent. And predator based systems still turn the illogical direction given the choice…but that’s probably just one GA software engineer from the 90s still screwing the AF. P.S. George if you just don’t add power you’ll be on path and it will be fine.
  12. There may be a spectrum of autonomy where that capability could exist, but have you seen our current level of demonstrated autonomy in action, whether military drones or like full on commercial airline autopilots? Leaves a LOT to be desired.
  13. I was going for just after Olympics closing ceremonies, but interesting if he has the balls to do it during the games.
  14. http:// https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/putin-to-invade-ukraine-next-week-according-to-u-s-officials I’m just glad that if we did set that “any US people get hurt” red line, no one believes we’ll enforce a red line.
  15. Sounded familiar. I thought there was irony in the overweight guy telling everyone they had to be fit and couldn’t be over 196 lbs with gear, like special operators.
  16. This is a great summary, and second how boring 121 flying is but it is easy work overall. Until you get the captain that wants to pontificate on how the passengers prefer when you use the archaic autopilot methods for comfort blah blah blah yeah, Jim…they don’t care.
  17. Probably took us a while to figure out ~500 reps is a ton. Doubt the founders quite imagined the scale of 300M people to represent, to be quite honest. Quite the derail, but you keep on that Apportionment Crusade, bud. The PYB Thread for Constitutional Scholars is a few clicks over, though.
  18. For reference, it’s hard enough to get UTAPS to work (who the still uses IE11?!) to get paid for normal IDTs and get your orders cut by your Det and paid for AT…but if you figure this out, good on you.
  19. They definitely meant for the more populous areas to not run roughshod over the less populous. That was literally the idea.
  20. So you would like to go directly against the constitution and the deliberate balance of a not-proportional chamber. Noted.
  21. All the Senate procedural rules are not in the constitution, so don’t be pedantic.
  22. Well hopefully should it be attempted, with someone casting the DECIDING vote on appointing themselves for a lifetime on the nation’s highest court…there would be a challenge. Anyone worthy of actually being on that bench would recuse themselves from that vote. Also, who the brought up constitutionality? I said she shouldn’t be allowed.
