    If'n yer in the intersection turning left and the light turns yellow and your debating if that car is going to stop or not go with 'not'. I'd much rather take my chances with the parked car not accelerating into me when their light turns green than the moving car / bus giving up on making the...

    Whoops! -NASA ASRS report

    No, checklists were done and we had the gas. It was just my tired mind working through the haze. I admit I shouldn't have been there. I thought I could cowboy up and get 'er done. It was a learning experience.

    Right, but going from stopped to going cars need to spread out. They can't wait till they get through the intersection to do it either and even if they magically did the spreading out on the other side would cause the same slowdown and backlog. In short, it wouldn't work. Light turns green...

    Ultra Low Cost Carriers

    I've come around on my thinking about these type airlines and here's why. The Internet sells almost all the airline tickets these days and the tickets are almost always listed by non-stop first and price second. That means they are really listed by price first if you discount flights with...
