I'm a big SGI fan. Unfortunately I had to give up the larger machines when I met a girl that moved me to 1000 sqft in NYC. But I still have my R8000 Indigo2. :D

An Onyx2 IR3 rack. So much fun!

I don't understand it either, but I'm also into vintage computers, to the point where I've installed 3 phase in my garage to support my hobby. So I try not to throw stones!

A few years ago I flew with a guy that'd bring his huge DLSR, and during the layover he'd take an uber from the hotel back to the airport to shoot pictures of airplanes. He'd intentionally bid overnights based on the type of airplane/livery available for picture taking. Really nice guy and I...

Frustrating....naaaah....awesome....YES! :D

Nobody requires it - exemptions are trivial in every situation I'm aware of.

It's an AA aircraft - whaddya expect?? :p (btw, gorgeous airplane. always loved that model Stinson)

Aw man. :(

Great stories! Glad to hear you guys are out there enjoying the work, and best of luck. :)

They certainly haven't changed the website in that 25 years!

Missed this earlier. 60 hours per year, which has been a sore point with the rank and file for some time. Like your buddies, we have a culture of using sick time as essentially PTO and the company looks the other way. I generally bang in once every three months just for the hell of it (anal...

Yeah, I'm a lazy bastard. Heh! But to your point, my ability to drop (or even move my schedule around) is very equipment, seat, and base dependent. The time of year matters too, and I generally take my foot off the gas over the winter months because I know my ability to drop or trade into...

Hahaha! Now you've done it - I'm gonna have to log out and delete my browser history. Might as well nuke my laptop while I'm at it - it's the only way to be sure. ;)

Jeez I can't even get my wife to do that! :p (kidding honey!!!)

Hahaha - that's definitely an impressive score for someone that studied the 'right' way. :)

I love how this thread is alternating between flexing about written test scores and flexing about being an old fart. :p

They could, but pilots hate change and it'll never happen. ;) That said, you get used to thinking of it as "trip x pays y" instead of the hourly anyway. One of the nice things is being able to drop trips for more time off - I'm down to 4 days next month to be around for various family...

Sheesh....47. There was a time not too long ago that I'd consider that age to be 'up there', but I'm getting to the point where it's gonna be upon me before I know it. Better LTD can't come soon enough (ours sucks too), but I figure a nice sized war chest is always a good play. You never know.

I have no idea what happened here, but in my corporate/135 days I've witnessed a couple of instances of green crews placed together because the PIC knew all the right people, right place at the right time, etc. In fact, I was pretty close to a high profile accident where exactly that happened...

I'll bring some wine coolers for you, eman. :D
