Who cares. All that matters is that a certificate or career in aviation is available to them if they choose to pursue it. At least in this country.

IBTL I agree that the fixation on percentages is silly. People can do whatever they want and are capable of with the talents you have.

My Dad was on a destroyer that rescued a group that had fled by boat and exhausted their food and fuel. They were in pretty bad shape when they found them but he says all they wanted to know was if "we go freedom now?".

I sent you a PM. I've got some friends that might be interested.

I wonder if that's still as true as it used to be. My Dad talks about how the boys used to tend to be the more aggressive drivers but that he has noticed a shift in that over the years to where there are as many or more aggressive women drivers as men. It's anecdotal but my own observations...

That's the real problem with all of that equipment that the Taliban got ahold of. The Taliban probably lack the ability to do the upkeep on the more sensitive stuff but it will find it's way into the hands of the Chinese or Iranians. Although like you said the Chinese have been stealing tech for...

I'm not saying it's a good comparison, just that I understand where it came from. I don't think it holds up well either due to the distinct differences in necessity between this and wartime.

I agree that it's not that big of a deal. Just means she'll have to be more careful about the weather and be prepared for delays that might not have occurred otherwise. Looking at her schedule it looks like she spent an extra day in Greenland presumably due to weather.

I think the war comparison is that there were a lot of pilots thrown into the fire with less than 100 hours. Of course that wasn't a good thing and a lot of those guys proved to be easy prey for more experienced pilots.

Not all experience can be logged. She might have way more than 80 hours in actual practice. For example, I had many hours in the left seat flying with my Dad who is a private pilot before I ever went and flew with a CFI. Obviously those hours couldn't be logged but they happened and I learned a...

I think it was brought up as a similar design in a thread about a new piece of vaporware.

My level of trust in government institutions is low in the best of times and it's sitting at the bottom of the Marianas Trench currently so that's a big fat nope for me.

Adding to that. The wing is too thin to house even the struts on the mains when they retract.

I assume you are talking about instances where the woman was raped. In that case I like a point my wife made "Just because a crime is committed against me doesn't give me the right to commit another crime against an innocent". Since we're now off on a rabbit trail and I'd rather not get what...

Don't worry, some of the acronyms get vets from different services too. There are some that are pretty universal and some quite specific to an individual service. CSM didn't make any sense to a Navy vet like me but if he'd had said something like CMC, DDG, or RAS i'd have gotten it. :D FYI CMC...

That's a hard one for me to answer since I don't feel like there should be an arbitrary number to certify something as safe or not safe for use. In this case I understand why we didn't spend years testing before mass production but I would certainly be more comfortable with a longer track record...

I'm watching what is happening with the vaccines with interest. My wife and I have nothing against them in general and will probably eventually get vaccinated for covid when and if we are convinced it's safe to do so. The main concern for us is timing. There simply hasn't been time for the...

That reads like some of the posters in the old thread got together and wrote that. :lol:
