  1. What MSM do you think I’m watching? Or is it that Boeing, raytheon, and LM are lining my pockets? Which conspiracy are you going with?
  2. By who, exactly? Why don’t you “dumb that down” for us?
  3. Have you read anything about Putin, at all, or are you stuck in Afghanistan believing that terrorism is the only threat out there that isn’t directly bordering the US? Edit: I’ll save you the trouble because you probably don’t know how the internet works: https://lmgtfy.wtf/go.html?q=Pbs%20frontline%20putin
  4. If only there was a man -in Russia- that thinks the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the downfall of the USSR, and he was determined to return it to its former glory.
  5. Making your glorious return to the internet after being banned by Bass?
  6. She doesn’t read well, it’s not her fault.
  7. To what end, you rejecting any reasonable stance as conspiracy? Sounds productive! Glad you picked up critical thinking during your time…
  8. Yep, the entire world is conspiracies, and you’re the only one who sees them.
  9. They won’t consider negotiating, or they won’t consider negotiating that includes ceding territory to the aggressor who invaded them? You’re putting the blame on Ukraine for something Russia is doing.
  10. That GS queep employee has the longevity and therefore the staying power to overpower Capt Spirit.
  11. Need a lot of cloth real estate for all those pieces of flair.
  12. Right, it’s their jet I’ll twist knobs how they prefer sts, but the rollout with no training is dumb. No one knows who’s getting the ATIS, and what bigger tragedy is there? Phased probably would have been better. And there’s rumor at one point Bobby et al were trying to kill the 787 ECL, which is funny to me. How many pennies can we pinch? Could be a totally bogus story, but sadly believable.
  13. In theory I agree with you that the buck stops with the CA (also a CKA nonetheless in this instance, definitely ought to know better), but I also keep CAs from doing stupid things constantly. AA loves to tout their Threat Error Management model where all the barriers stop things from getting through all the swiss cheese, but they then they just punched a huge hole through the Standard Procedures barrier at the beginning of the month. That’s where my perspective comes from on saying the company played a role. Absolutely, captain could have stopped or queried any time.
  14. What? No wAAy. -Bobby “we won’t spend a cent more than we have to” Isom
  15. Yeah. I ASAP’d some problems that happened due to this confusion earlier this month, and the response from the safety people was that “these things happen with any change.” Essentially from flying with a few different captains now the ones trying to do all the changes are confused AF and there are constant questions about who’s doing what (turns out if your attention is on that you don’t pay attention to other things); my remedy was I got directive so things just got done based on situation regardless of changes, but that means no standardization and takes more focus (captain was lower SA). The better captains (for task accomplishment and cockpit cohesion) are essentially following the old procedures and making fun of a few of the callout changes; there’s no question who’s doing what -inherently more safe in that sense- but if something does happen I guarantee the company is going to say “yOu WeReNt FoLlOwInG pRoCeDuRe.”
  16. Company made a safety/CRM disaster at the beginning of the month, and they won’t own it.
  17. There is definitely a political faction that would like to further their means by consolidating federal power to lessen the efficacy of local efforts, and some of the covid measures were in line with that. There are definitely political factions in the US bemoaning that we didn’t enforce China-like lockdowns/tracking, which would further enable the federal government more control over more dependent subjects and benefits a few political elites; if you’re blind to that “wizard,” reevaluate.
  18. Is going through the wash the same as shredding? Asking for a friend.
  19. Seems like the starkink types have different orbital paths/densities than traditional satellites. Definitely a possibility.
  20. Also compared Jewish people in Israel to termites. Always good for a one-liner.
  21. Happened to run across this one…someone didn’t get the Air Mission memo. Also, apparently he knows better than the dispatchers at every airline. #knowledgable
  22. They may not choose to be somewhere else, but our system is causing us to get less for more spending. Our ability to develop and field capabilities severely hampered, and our military capability is no longer as dominantly ahead of others no matter how much cheer leading you want to do. Probably want to Read some more intel.
  23. We’re no longer definitively better, we’re moderately better if you’re going by capability. Thinking otherwise is some serious complacency or ignoring intel/open source. Our spending, while large, gets us less due to the waste in bureaucracy.
