  1. Yeah but they have the big moving boarding area tractor things! I always thought it was silly but my kids thought it was the coolest thing ever.
  2. I’m going to like your post here Loco. We’d probably appreciate each other in another conversation. We can get along. Just get along.
  3. What a damned tragedy. Breaks my heart. Breaks my heart Kooool. I’ll go back to England.
  4. I live in tarrytown. I’m a minority that has probably flown over your home in the last week. Huh? Educate me. Obviously you know more.
  5. But, not everyone is a loathsome piece of shit. I mean…. Ok dude. Tell me which sewer pipe we belong in I guess. Fuck. I’m a minority so tell me and my wife where to go please
  6. I love how the facts thread is dead while the political self stroker thread took off. Good.
  7. In the USA: -Airlines are well run by smart people who have a passion for it. Generally speaking. -Airlines are safer than walking 2 blocks in any metro downtown -Airlines provide reasonable service to a bunch of drunk entitled asses and Karens -Airlines have invested in tech to make your experience better -Airline fleets are newer and more advanced than ever before -TSA stops almost 100% of threats -TSA processes travelers at a really quick rate. -TSA is surprisingly friendly despite all the idiots and Karens -Airports (like AUS) are generally undersized and not able to meet demand, which makes people angry -ATC successfully directs millions of aircraft movements all day and every day. -Customs/Border knows the background of most passengers before they ever present to an agent. -Tech, AI, and systems spending should far outpace human spending in the next 10 years. Which will lead to more “they fired us” articles. -This trend has been occurring for about 10-12 years, spanning a few presidential administrations and therefore ruining political narratives. It’s just a shared common value that as Americans we will have the best and most professional air travel in the world. And this is what we indeed have. Fly through a storm in Asia and tell me you wouldn’t just be begging for an AA pilot, an American ATC person, and a glass of Kentucky whiskey. I’ve been there.
  8. Military and civilian. Have to start training by like 35 and have to retire by… 57ish. So much talk about raising standards, but honestly I think there is a headcount shortage. Raise standards, but also have to raise pay and quality of life.
  9. Yeah I did see that. However- I think it’s reasonable to shake things up and not automatically say that the whole system is being gutted. We don’t know that. The termination of this committee had zero to do with what happened yesterday. TSA/DHS have really good tools and operate efficiently compared to say… making a flight change at LHR terminal 5. This committee, formed after Lockerbie… didn’t exactly prevent 9/11. Maybe it’s useless. Maybe it’s useful. I don’t know, but TSA, Customs & Border, DHS seems to be functioning ok. They know my flight itinerary better than I do.
  10. Serious question, why do you expect gutted TSA and aviation security? The tech used in the US is far superior to most everywhere, including the UK and Germany. And just to clarify, I mean passenger screening, not ATC.
  11. I fly DCA quite a bit. Actually, I fly AA almost every other day and have for years. With all that flying, I’ve never ever had a single issue but have several times had aborted landings at DCA due to congestion. Only other places I’ve ever had this is SEA and PDX, but that is always due to weather. Everybody loves DCA… I love sitting at DCA and watching planes land with the Washington monument in the background. But honestly, either the air traffic needs more restriction or they just need to close the airport. LGA has a similar profile, but seems to function better. And look, ATC can always get better and I’m sure they will learn from this. But that particular airspace is just messy.
  12. Every fucking time.
  13. One of my faves was Wheeler’s where Starbucks is now on 24th. One of the places where you could get an underage pitcher of beer.
  14. The roof of my mouth is still burned from Player’s fried mushrooms.
  15. Arch and Coop would and should do the same thing Eli and Archie did to SD
  16. This guy probably wouldn’t be hired by San Diego state.
  17. How many super bowls is this guy going to win us? Fucking all them.
  18. I have to be a Cowboys fan. My great grandmother never missed a game. My dad is diehard. I was in HS while we won 3 super bowls. Loved Troy and how Romo brought us back to hope. I wanted Romo to win it all really bad just to quiet the haters. But Jerry plays whack a mole with the roster and is always 4 years too late on NFL trends. My kids have to be Cowboys fans because I’ve already told them that they have to and AT&T is the only pro football stadium they’ve ever been to. My daughter thinks Dak sucks, CeeDee is average, but or defense is solid. They get it. All that said, it’s background noise at our house on Sundays. The only emotional involvement is for the Horns. I posted here before that in my experiences with Jerry, I came away thinking he cared deeply but had no idea how to get there. I now question whether he cares or maybe even really knows what is happening.
  19. Aaaden could work and also be first in the phone book listings of local plumbers.
  20. I stayed at the Conrad. It was fantastic. Side trip to Sayulita to get off campus for a bit.
