James Fallows just released an awesome book, China Airborne. While some of the parts are written for a non-aviation audience, it's an amazing read to see how China is trying to modernize their air traffic infrastructure. China is an amazing place to visit, to work, and participate in their...

That's my view for two weeks every year -- usually the middle two weeks of September. Wherever I go in this world... that view is my gold standard for beauty. I love Maine. Cheers, -Andrew

Report out today-ish. http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp090601.en/pdf/f-cp090601.en.pdf

Have you thought of calling your local FSDO? They may be able to help get the LEO's into gear. Cheers. -ars PS -- I didn't read the fax link before, tl;dr etc.

Dear god. That reminds me of the FDX crash at NRT.

iPad's don't need to leave your bag. I think TSA changed the script to "large electronic devices" that the bark while walking up and down the security aisles. Extra bin = extra space on belt = everyone else goes through security slower. Cheers.

!@#%$#^% iPad's can stay in your bag. The don't need to be scanned. Maybe this is a PHL thing...

I live in the constraints of a standard Ziploc quart freezer bag, as they are the most durable for a week of continent hopping. I don't cheat because I just don't have time to deal with TSA bulldung. I aim to get through TSA as quickly as humanly possible. Extra time at TSA = more time away...

I'm extremely allergic to the DPT shot; I've never been subjected to the newer dTAP. I'm specifically allergic to the pertussis portion and have had to rely on herd immunity my entire life. As a kid, I couldn't go on field trips during the winter and if there was an outbreak our doctors office...

Revenue Management: Where Operations Research PhD's go to have fun with models.

In short -- depends on what sort of products you were purchasing. If you had them purchase registered securities directly on your behalf, then they have to hold them seperately than assets that may be seized/claimed by creditors upon dissolution of the company. If you bought certain...

3 dead; RIP. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/12/three-die-when-small-plane-crashes-on-new-jersey-interstate/1

Holy crap. That must be 2002? A flipping decade ago!

There are, indeed. As they say in the UK, "horses for courses". What is irrefutable is that median income is positively correlated with education level. The financing aspects of said income is an interesting question, and as you point out, may drive negative or break even cash flow, which...

What you have to ask yourself is: how far from the median do you think you can be? The standard error, in this case, is $22 for a high-school diploma only. Living life in the tenth standard deviation may not be sustainable prospect; mean reversion is a violent and unforgiving force...

This data point is nearly a decade old (sad), but BOS wasn't ever a problem for me out of BED. BDL, on the other hand... full moon night, dead air, C open... ATC wouldn't even give me FF, never mind a transit. Cheers, -Andrew

I do not appreciate that implication, Mr. Suffa. That said, it is (IMNSHO) one of the top 10 restaurants on the East Coast, for me. In the "go there once a month, be stunned, long for your return a month away" sort of way; not in the Per Se / French Laundry once-in-a-blue-moon sort of way...

I'm the exact opposite -- I find Monticello to be a far more intriguing experience. Mostly because Mt. Vernon is eerily similar to places like Sturbridge Village, Plimouth Plantation, and Colonial Williamsburg, whereas Monticello is a peaceful, stunning place where you always learn something...
