    DOGE and the FAA

    I was talking about business headcount, not the gubmint.

    DOGE and the FAA

    On the Musk topic, Tesla finally became profitable only in the last few years. Prior to that, for over a decade, many considered Tesla a failure with no way out. I think the Cybertruck has been out for a year now, with 8 or 9 recalls in that short time. I’m not saying it’s not going to be a...

    DOGE and the FAA

    On a spreadsheet that’s zero difference. Headcount in most businesses is the biggest expense.

    Tug advice.

    I think you can go one of 2 routes, or both. One is a larger solution for your hangar (like Best), the other is a smaller one that you can take along if the need arises (like Minimax).

    DOGE and the FAA

    Over 30 years in the manufacturing industry I have been witness to numerous layoffs and restructurings. No comment from me on successes or failure of those changes, but when the sole metric of profitability was the goal, that’s what we did with management structure and personnel. Our investors...

    No need to guess. From the transition plan doc, 3 pages of changes to FAA start on page 632.

    Balancing Moderation for a Thriving Community

    I agree with this. Don’t use the pandemic peak as the baseline. If you look at mid-2023 it looks like an increasing trend over the last year and a half or so.

    The journey of 1300nm begins...

    Sorry to hear that. On Oct 27 in the evening I was landing at KGGG and being vectored behind a small jet. On final to Rwy 13 they received a laser hit. Tower advised me about it but we never saw anything thankfully. After they landed, the pilot asked Tower what the follow up would be. Tower...

    What do you use in your mouse traps?

    I’m in trapping mode now (we live in the woods). 10 snap traps in various locations. 2 locations have been successful, focused on them - total of 6 the last 3 days. May be time to pull out the bucket trap for efficiency since I don’t have to reset or refill the duds. I hate the bucket...

    Important aspects of flying (outside of passing the checkride) that a pilot should learn for PP.

    A good causal analysis is required for each incident. If that is done and there is a systemic training related factor in some or all of the accident pilots with XYZ demographics, then training related corrective actions should be undertaken. For discussion sake, OP assumes a training cause...

    Important aspects of flying (outside of passing the checkride) that a pilot should learn for PP.

    Force an unannounced CFI induced overnight grounding after arriving at a XC destination. Student gets to experience get-there-itis. Miss appointments, promises, etc., and subsequent risky decision making tendencies. Probably unrealistic expectation for the CFI and company plane, but would...

    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    ForeFlight shows no FBO for this location.

    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    Is there any possibility whatsoever that a plane-load would try to take off with 1 engine? I know how ridiculous that sounds.
