    S1939 FAA Authorization amendment

    Did Cruz's amendment get passed and signed as part of the FAA bill this year? I found the article and amendment but can't figure out if it was included in the final bill.

    scream

    In my intro to computer science, I teach the students about anonymous emails and encrypted emails. I have them set up PGP and send me an email encrypted with my public key, and I respond using their public key. Makes for a great classroom project where all I have to do is watch - the university...

    Barrett - this is excellent directions for the uninitiated except....I've worked for a phone company in the past and am intimately familiar with the process. By the way, from the technical side it's "porting" but when dealing with CSRs, it's "transfer my number". The number and almost everything...

    That's the mistake I made. I always go to the local office (not one of the "franchises") but people were scheduled to work on the house and the dog wasn't doing well yesterday so I needed to stay home. I refuse to provide cell # unless I think it's relevant. One of the few remaining seafood...

    Why are people still wearing masks?

    Couple weeks ago I tested positive, taught the entire week online (Teams) and the two times I went to the store, wore a mask both for my protection as well as others. Wearing masks is common in the Japanese culture, so I don't think of it as a political statement.

    Could Boeing sell Jeppesen?

    They're already downsized....When I worked there in the late 1990s/2000s, there were over 350K employees. Down to 175K these days and plans to dump more. I know many at Jepp that were laid off or "asked to retire".

    Could Boeing sell Jeppesen?

    Jepp is now part of a newer Boeing company, Boeing Global Services. Previously, it belonged to Boeing Airplane (The Boeing Company is really 4 companies). Many of you remember the disaster of the New & Improved! VFR Charts!. Right. Even Jepp employees wouldn't use them. Jepp products now include...

    What plane would you buy in my situation?

    1) Even with the IR, there will be far too many times you'll need the airlines for your business trips. 2) Finish the IR, your insurance will be cheaper. 3) If available, do a few of your training flights in a 182 or Dakota or A26 or other aircraft that meets the requirements. 4) Have...

    For starters, move your request to its own posting, please don't piggy back on a thread that isn't related. There's not much GA in the mid-east at the level you're interested in. But try either of these websites. https://www.gasupportegypt.com/...

    iPad mini 7 announced

    I'm trading in my mini5 (used only for FF) and will move the mini6 to the airplane and use the mini7 as my day-to-day widget. The mini5 is 256 gb, the mini 6 is 64 gb, and I'm using less than 55 gb on each, so I think the 128gb will suffice.

    iPad mini 7 announced

    If you ordered thru Apple, I think you have 14-? days to return for full refund, then order the 7. I did that with my MacBook Air. Right after I ordered it, I realized I needed more memory, called Apple and no problem. Even if you've already received it, shouldn't be a problem.

    Our move to Texas

    There was a time, about 10 yrs ago or so, that one of the airlines called Boeing for details. One of their aircraft was on the ramp at PHX and the air temp was over 100 and the DA was over 120, and the airline didn't have takeoff data for temps that high.
