    Ffffffff airline travel... Seriously.

    Thread competition? No. Not knowing the difference between IAS and TAS is worth pointing out. It's cool to learn but that's tough when the ignorant one is preachy and condescending. I get huffy and leave when you and others gang up despite being wrong using herd mentality and I start to...

    Thoughts on videogames

    Yeah, its fun. It's like Legos and I don't mean the new ones where you follow the directions to assemble what they designed. I mean the old ones where you could build anything you could imagine. Minecraft is a platform with no goal by design. You can play a million different ways and none of...

    Thoughts on videogames

    I play A LOT of video games. History: Atari 400, Commodore 64, arcade, Apple II, PC, Sega, PS3, PS4, Wii, iPad, Moto X. Right now I mostly play Ingress, Minecraft, CoD...in that order. I play around 5 or 6 hours a day on a heavy day and 2 or 3 on a light day. And then there is my job...

    BTW, I'm 6'4" at 225 and consider myself 'fat'. Maybe 'pudgy' but that's just nice for 'fat'.

    BTW, DenverPilot...you lose all capitalism cred on this thread. Your whining reeks of 'Government....SAVE me!!!" Pfffft...save yourself nancy. Before you get all huffy and retort, remember your stupid 250 kts dead? thread and remember your're way out gunned here.

    Ffffffff airline travel... Seriously.

    A 500 lb human can NOT 'keep it in his own seat'. That's a fact. Physics are involved here. I'm glad you lost (some?) weight. I hope it was two humans worth. BTW, at 500 lbs you would be a POS (Passenger Of Size) and should be required to purchase two seats. Maybe they were empty flights and...

    Pet Peeves

    Why do they give you your receipt under your change? I may or may not want the receipt but I never want the receipt with my money. Money goes in one place and the receipt goes in another, so now I'm left to do a mini sort right there at the register. It'd be easier if they gave you the...

    General rant

    What happens if one guest thinks your sloppy? And I assume you talked to the kid with an a$$ showing problem before you talked to the boss, right?

    When to abort takeoff

    Figure out acc / stop and acc/ go and then give yourself a balanced field. Then rotation is your go/no go barring engine failure.

    How do the Majors log their time?

    I use LogBook Pro and APDL. It has my login details for Flica and fetches my schedule for the month and at the end of the day it fetches tail numbers and actual times. All I enter on a leg by leg basis is IMC, appchs, and landings (my position (PF/PM)). APDL keeps a running look at FAR 117...

    Area 51 question

    The restricted areas (surface and above) keep you far enough away that even in the flight levels the runway at Area 51 is barely perceptible.

    Unruly Crew

    There is no chance the crew wanted to 'fanagle' an overnight in LAS. A. it's not a great overnight. B. Most likely you'd just stop, get gas and leave. C. Even if you were out of duty time the airline would just airline you out after min rest. No chance of any fun even if Vegas was your...

    Happy Robert E. Lee's birthday!

    Lol, you seem to have identified yourself. You see, I've not said a word against Gen. Lee so your little triva wasn't needed. To you yokles who think I'm an idiot my IQ has been tested north of 160. Not bragging, just a fact.
