Boeing whistleblower found dead

Isn't there a 3rd significant issue: reservation holders had prices locked-in that were not economically feasible for Van's to fill after significant inflation in material and labor costs. This is why current reservation holders are being given the option of paying current (and they better be...

Especially if you are flying out of the airline's hub, its best to stay close. I've had this happen a number of times - original plane or crew is delayed but at a hub it is easier to find a replacement for either. Doesn't happen often but enough times I can't assume the delay will stick

Weekend sports for my now 16 year old is why I’ve decided to take a pause from GA for a few more years. Not enough spare time to stay current and enjoy a plane with so many nice weather weekends taken for what would be the fixed costs of a plane We did get a pontoon the summer of ‘20 and have...

Small datapoint: Good friend of mine put in an order for a Yamaha VX HO last year at this time at a dealer in SW Virginia. Dealer called last week of June saying an 22' FX HO had just come in if he wanted it. He took it. He said their whiteboard showing people waiting was significantly shorter...

Has that been officially approved by your company and/or the management company that owns the building/lot? If not, that could be considered theft. Even if approved, what happens when there are more than 3 people with EVs who want to charge? I agree EVs are the near-future for many use cases...

I suspect they will need to make up for the missing revenue (or at least the forecast revenue for investors) by making everything in the truck a subscription.

Rolled back the price increase for existing reservation holders after 36 hours of customer "feedback" https://insideevs.com/news/571222/rivian-backtracks-price-increases-existing-reservations/

Yep, PP tax rates are set at the county level state wide. Many counties that have otherwise high PP rates but have a major GA airport have very low rates specifically for aircraft to keep the jets from going elsewhere. Some counties have the same rate as other vehicles, some have it 1/2 ish of...

Outside of the northern counties its just a pretty basic safety inspection. But the personal property tax would exclude VA for Ed, even though in many SW counties its a pretty negligible rate.

Yep, similar for us with USAA. When calling USAA for policy info in NJ this was the process every time: "Let me enter your address.....Oh! I see you are in NJ...let me transfer you to the NJ specific department" Except the one time the first person looked at the rate and said "Wow, that can't...

I'd plan to follow the 48-hr rule. Reaction to my Pfizer booster last week was a bit stronger than for the 2nd dose. My symptoms were headache, fatigue, and sore arm. Started within 6hr of booster, tailed off after about 36h.

I have ecobees and have not enabled the "feature" that allows the power company or the thermostat to change the set temp. All of the other features work though. There was a "bug" with ecobees at one point where once you turned the feature on or linked to your power company, it could not be...

Smith Mountain Lake W91 in SW Virginia is within 600nm of Chicago. Also has a really nice BnB on the field that has tie down space: Bedford Landings. State park is next door. Lots of outdoor activities in the general area. I've stayed at Bedford landings but not flown in. Jack and Karen are...

Would you mind sharing where you found one and what the price after discounts but before trade in was? I almost pulled the trigger on a Pacifica PHEV in March when there were plenty on lots, the factory was still running, and incentives brought the price down to what I was willing to pay...

It’s pretty clear Phillips doesn’t have much of a plan yet

Spoke to my Doctor. His advice is for anyone with mild sleep apnea to stop using, while those with moderate to severe should keep using. My guess (and my guess only) is that will apply to just about every v1 machine out there and Phillips has a very big (read:expensive) mess on their hands...

The millions of v1 Phillips DreamStation machines have been recalled due to possible disintegration of PE-PUR foam used for sound deadening. Leading to a bunch of potential problems including cancer. Phillips has recommended to stop usage immediately unless your sleep doc says you are more at...

Went to Tysons mall in VA today for the first time in over a year. I'd say about 20% of the stores still had signs up that masks were required for entry. The rest either had nothing, or a sign saying that masks were recommended for non-vaccinated customers. I'd also say about 80% of the the...

I was notified I am back at the top of the KHEF hangar waitlist today, but still without plane or partnership. 5 days until I need to go back to the end of the line.
