You know, I'm curious... do Floridiot drivers speed up or slow down in the cold? On one hand, I think, they're too busy shivering to keep consistent hammer-down on their gypsy assortment of Nissan Sentras, Kia Rios, and worse contraptions that they joust one another with on the highways. On...

History suggests it is far more lucrative to "secure" investment dollars with the "airplane" a-la Tarron Bhomas. Until you get caught of course. Pilots are some spiteful mofos if you push them far enough. :D

I'm sure that was considered briefly. :D

Yes. I am unqualified to figure out who is "putting in the work", and caring less and less -- so all I can do is average a bunch of BS and see if any outlying insight nuggets stay in the sieve. :/

I'm hoping to learn of some new and interesting sources from this exchange. :) My own daily scan of news comes from https://brutalist.report/?limit=50 which is very tech-centric, but diverges as you scroll down, and you can curate it to your liking. It's also devoid of BS. The little animated...

It's limited to a week, Tmo service, I'm unclear if they data cap the week, or if the library just eats it. They're popular (I tried to get one before I got my 5G Home router and was told there was a waitlist) -- so I assume, at least for my home drome, the latter. :) If your hangar weakens the...

Enjoy the rich cultural delights of Boulder City, Jean, or (lol) Pahrump, depending on how far out the opportunism exists?

I fled Portland last week before it turned into Icepocalypse. Now warmly ensconced at home, in shorts and a hoodie, I can return to being mostly smug in the mid-50s and spray my toxic schadenfreude all over social media where people are whining about their weather :)

haha, throwing "boeing" in acts as little mental handholds for the chronically overstimulated reader to pay their brief, fleeting attention to.

There is a bay area partnerships group on facebook with a few dozen planes for you to consider here.

Wait, is that your argument against paid street parking as well? Scarcity of a common good seems perfect for metering via price. Doesn't mean I like it. Doesn't make these prices sane -- but it appears rubes are paying them, or they'd stop? So fill the city coffers.

I never said they were immoral. :) Will check back in 10 years.

What prevented DOT or FAA from hiring these people prior to being forced to by mandate?

Based on my prior interactions with my FSDO I am surprised that this is a new policy.

:D When I worked in downtown Portland, spotting the Unipiper made the day a little extra special and a little less serious.

Uh, no. Barons are built stout as hell and do not simply deconstruct due to turbulence without pilot assistance.

Other than writing wide-form checks, remind me of the Bezos aviation achievements? I seem to have missed them.

Neither of my parents being there would have improved my odds at any interview I can remember. :D

Mav re-cast as a woman of color and an alternate sexuality she is just dying to let the viewers learn about -- constantly. Other pilots in the squadron look like an old Benetton ad. Operation Inclusive Eagle does some 5-star maneuvers to destroy Russian oligarchs who are hiding in Trump's...

Most CFIs I know who are just starting out have the cash reserves of a tortilla. Are you insuring against a judgement that will never be pursued?
