Good thing the Orange Asshole hired the completely qualified guy from...checks notes...The Real World: Boston to handle transportation issues.  Seems to be going awesome!

This morning at Chicago Midway:

I'm not one to defend the admin in ANY way, but I read a long thread with a bunch of pilot comments.  Their consensus was that this was a runway incursion by the small Challenger (who likely got a hold-in-place from the tower and kept going anyway), and the 737 pilot did exactly what he/she was trained to do and immediately lifted back up.  Unless we hear otherwise, this was not likely a result of FAA staffing, etc.

reddit drivers say atc told the challenger to hold short & it obviously didn't

that said commercial traffic should stand down at midway, hobby, national & yes laguardia

all 3 were built within their current footprint in the 30s & 40s

this shit also happens all the time at logan and sfo - as an adult i've experienced a rejected takeoff at logan and 2 go-arounds at sfo - also a go-around at moisant as a kid - all due to traffic conflict

sfo has 2 sets of parallel runways but still does runway roulette with interlaced takeoffs and landings; jfk,, logan and moisant all have perpendicular main runways and it's a miracle we haven't had a tenerife at any of the above mentioned fields

it's convenient but not true

unfortunately elmo owns the best internet constellation and we need to use it to pull forward our airspace tech by 50 years

Obama said a week or two after the election something like "America just showed that it's not really concerned with preserving democracy." I think they're all kind of in "Hey, this is what you voted for. Let's see how bad it gets" mode.

Yep, all attacking him does is feed his base energy. They need to wallow in their slop and deal with it.

If they can blame hurricanes on Jewish Space Lasers, we can blame air incidents on dotard and his band of penis wrinkles.

i did a parallel landing at SFO with a 777 and it was wild. 

Also, DCA is now holding all traffic when trump is on Marine One. They were diverting planes the other day and AMerican Regionals are carrying extra fuel so they can circle in a delay.

That will help suppress fares. At least jet fuel costs were cut in half along with all the refined oil fuels as Trump promised.

which parts do you find the funniest? maybe put it in the style of a Letterman Top 10 list. I'm sure whatever you come up with will bring the lulz for all of us.

I'm guessing the firing of veterans and the siding with Russia against Ukraine.

dfw regularly does 5-across in good weather

the sfo parallels are very close together - yes - quite wacky if you're not used to it or not expecting it

Expand  

4300' of separation between runway center lines allows parallel operations without any sort of waiver. SFO is the main exception.

I get a chuckle, too, at your handle saying "Roll Left" when you actually Roll Reich.

Hey mods, can we get a name change for the Nazi behind this account?

Like i said. When your party is so out of touch and lost that they couldn’t get together and pick someone better than Kamala. You didn’t even get to choose your Democratic candidate. Trump was so bad and shitty. Should have been easy to find someone to beat him. CRY HARDER.

any and all fuckups and disasters are the result of Trump, his stooges, and DOGE until further notice.  We need to drown out the DEI  blame

So Trump is now openly selling visas to immigrants that give him a $5 million bribe?

I don't know the percentages, but I suspect less than a majority of "faithful" Americans actually believe what their particular religion teaches.  I won't go so far as to say it's all cultish, but there is absolutely a comfort and routine factor in play for many, and the self-reinforcing sense of superiority can't be ignored.

Expand  

Hell, I'd say a lot of them don't even KNOW what their faith teaches.  But Jews, Catholics, and other "mainstream" Christians have been pretty reliably socially liberal for a good long time.

It’s still absolutely astonishing that this man can brazenly give a Nazi salute before the entire world, deny he did so, and have people agree with him.
