    Well, I stand by my assertion because if the controller is compliant with par. a & b, then the OP's post is moot because the intention is explicit. Therefore, only 4. applies which implies an EFC (or "no expected delay" under b. 1., essentially the same thing). No?

    Exactly. Listening for "Direct to" or some such variation and concluding it's a limit is missing the point. If it's a limit, there's supposed to be an EFC. Otherwise, it's a mistake.

    Wrong key words, imo. You should all be listening for an EFC. None given? Better ask for one ASAP if you think it's a limit.

    Well, if they invested the money rather than indulged in it, a lot more of good could have been done was my point.

    Not a jar, but how about burying their money in a Rolls-Royce? I found an article about a piece Milton Friedman wrote in Newsweek that explains why wealthy Brits used to prefer to ride around in expensive Rolls-Royces than risk their money in investments...

    What if it wasn't a primary residence, but a vacation home they rent out. Would it have been a reasonable example then?

    I think I see what you did there, so getting back to Assisted Living which I am currently in the process of securing for a good friend, how do you apply your version of @StraightnLevel's canard?

    I see. In other words, if they had a ten-room house, after the government takes away 27.6% of the gain they'd only be able to replace the house with, say, a smaller 7-room house and half bath right next door that was built at the same time and by the same builder?

    I don't think it applies here. I relish this conversation in the hope it educates more people than just me. Politicians should do a better job of explaining economics — in the way of Milton Friedman.

    So, on a million dollars of passive income, there's $76,000 of "inflation tax" on an investment that didn't really gain any value at all? Now, why would the government do such a thing? (Rhetorical question.) Do you s'pose the trillions of dollars they spent in the last few years has anything to...

    Still looking for an explanation. If the capital gain is due to inflation, say 20% over the last three years, the billionaire needs to pay 20% of that in taxes? :confused:

    Curious. Were these people college indoctrinated educated?

    Good article a year and a half ago referencing this accident: https://aviationweek.com/shownews/nbaa/when-vref-isnt-enough No mention of the need to add even more of a buffer to Vref for spoiler deployment that I saw. Probably didn't know all the facts then...

    One of the cheapest and easiest to replace part broke part on my plane that absolutely grounded me.

    Can ground you more ways than one: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/Document/docBLOB?ID=15130498&FileExtension=pdf&FileName=Photo%20Array%20ERA22LA392-Rel.pdf https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/105833/pdf

    Cholesterol, do I need to pick up smokin' and drinkin,??

    How low? "Low" according to average ranges isn't really low in my opinion. I look at HDL as the stuff your body makes to mop up the excess LDL, so being low could be a good indication. If LDL is below 70 and triglycerides below 80, a low HDL (30 to 40) is probably about right in my experience...

    Unless CRM and SOPs prohibit speed brake deployment above 30° bank, it could happen again. If DOs and DOMs don't provide contract crews with accurate BOWs it could happen again. IMO.
