  1. The arguably less capable aircraft? On brand.
  2. How noble to have to troll all by yourself.
  3. FOs will have a no-fly list. CAs kind of get stuck typically.
  4. You write like IBM AI trying to fit in with humans using a minimum word count parameter. I’m sure if you went back and edited all posts with APA citations humans might agree with you though, Watson.
  5. Neither is your technique of oversharing your stream of consciousness incoherence a particularly good technique for spreading coherent ideas instead of random words, but alas here we are.
  6. No, you’re the one that’s lacking, using terms without specificity/inaccurately; you put in the effort. It’s a series of books, start at the beginning you need the whole picture. Sometimes he has a free online course, or you can “not put in the effort,” I don’t care but you’re the one who looks foolish.
  7. https://lmgtfy.app/?q=paul+collier
  8. You’re using it (your wife example) saying you’re trying to be logical, but you’re actually appealing to emotion and keep showing that you don’t know what political violence actually is. Par for the course, you should read some Paul Collier, but until then here’s some cliffs notes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence Edit: and it sure as shit doesn’t meet the legal sense of violence, but that doesn’t mean it was smart.
  9. As evidenced by those same politicians keeping their hydrocarbon heavy luxury lifestyles.
  10. Caveat, not at either, however another FDX pro is the travel bank; UPS guys I talk to freely admit the FDX system is better for that.
  11. By definition, only need one airplane left for single pilot ops. Real question is will there be enough pilot(s) left?
  12. You carry one of these in your flight bag? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4514916/Footage-shows-Darpa-s-robot-pilot-flying-737-sim.html Just on a regulatory basis, it’s certificated for two pilots, and the FAA isn’t very quick these days.
  13. Yeah, I meant staff the airline better at all facets like ramp/gate/FA and pilots obvis. You’re right, with the pilot staffing and training level they’re at, all the money won’t fix it. Just time to get trainees through.
  14. I mean, the airlines could pay for more staff. Or they can overbook and bank on an algorithm on how many people will/won’t show and have lower costs, but potentially cancel some and burn a few customers. Penny pinchers go for the second route. SWA used to be the exception, but nowadays the CEOs really don’t give a shit about customer service, just about share prices and cutting costs.
  15. Debatable whether anyone is concerned with operational readiness.
  16. You’re smart enough to see the point, you are probably just willfully acting like it doesn’t exist here to just act like you’re “right”: If it doesn’t bother the electorate enough to elect someone with different policies, then clearly they’re fine with the policies being enacted. That’s what they’re saying about which group has been in general instituted the most restrictive covid policies and why their voters must be ok with it.
  17. I mean you could really question what an ABM really does at any rank.
  18. Yeah, they define themselves by the conflict they seek, so are not content without a further cause.
  19. Correct, there is no penalty to the airline to continue working under the status quo after a contract is amendable aside from potentially not attracting or retaining as many pilots as needed (generally a problem more for ulcc types).
  20. It’s almost like we made it up post Gulf War with no real purpose.
  21. Side note: many at AA have been on the APA sucks so let’s go ALPA train…and the totally underwhelming agreement that came out for a vote from the NC at UALPA was just proof that it’s not the easy fix solution to switch to ALPA.
  22. Both totally underwhelming and can’t wait for Ferguson to be out at APA.
  23. It seems like the only breakdown the new site is capable of is, “you put in some monies.”
