They spelled it wrong - it's Texas Merican Academy ! And if you ain't got a pick em up truck ya ain't getting in !!!

Sims can be deceiving. There exists a crash override setting that allows some pretty egregious errors to get by. I once knife-edged my way between skyscrapers in downtown Hong Kong in a 777 - but it was only possible with crash override. Keep in mind too which flavor of 737 we're talking about...

I like it for the cloud level thingy. Other than that it's just like all the rest of them.

Nice airplane, just missing a BRS.

Don't worry. Whatever the "airlines" are doing or not doing - it's ALL FAA approved and supervised !!!!

Looking at a fabric plane - also needs to be looking for a hangar !

Quite frequently there is an agreement to a base salary I'm not certain of an exact number but I recall it being somewhere in the neighborhood of 750k. However, the real gravy comes from the stock options and bonuses. I recall one year wherein the boss man was pulling down basically 1 million...

Shep, I have great respect for you. You were flying in the Nam back when my idea of a good time was a fudgesicle - thank you. But amigo it looks like we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Art

Yeah, it was their new "Center Fuel Tank sensing missile" because ALL four of those engines only had damage indicative of falling into the ocean.

Then they're idiots. Controversy is always much more exciting then reality.

On point number 2 - you think the airlines can actually afford to just kept spare planes idly standing by as spares ? Sure would be nice but it just ain't gonna happen with the current business model they're given. Point 4 - Is that an airline issue or a credit card (bank) issue ? Point 5 -...

That's because they have to make a profit now - "Bend over backwards" sounds nice unfortunately it costs money too. Now, do the people at the very top get paid too much ? Absolutely. But that disparity is in NO way limited to the airline industry - it's everywhere. Anymore when people sense...

Since getting a roof rack and a small folding utility trailer I have had no needs for a pickup truck.

What I'm getting at is that people want airline flying to be like it was when it was regulated but they don't want the prices to go up either. In the history of deregulation nobody's yet survived trying to make that work.

Seems like some "regulation" may be in order.

With increasing frequency seems like everything we buy comes from Amazon. The Amazon card has been very good in terms giving cash rewards to use on Amazon. Every time I go online to buy something from them it seems like we're always getting $20 or $30 bucks off whatever I'm buying.

Trust me, depending on the severity of the impact you might not want to run right up and take a peek - there are lots of things you can't un-see.

In Europe they used to market a retract version of that with a little less wingspan. That thing was a rocket ship ! Almost as fast as an MCR-01.

What with the local Guatemalans charging $20 bucks a cut including weed whacking and edging it just doesn't make sense for me to do it anymore. What with the cost of upkeep on the equipment over time and the cost of my own time. 6 guys show up and it takes them all of 25 minutes. It's like a...

Insofar as money is concerned - as Og Mandino put it "You're only as good as what you negotiate" !
