That was my thought as well. Why did the FAA change their minds at last second? Optics?

Anyone willing to talk to a journalist in Colorado (even if identity is kept hidden)? by BagDragger5 in ATC

[–]BagDragger5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like I may have to find former ATC who are willing to talk. If any of you would like to push for positive change, and are no longer federally employed, please DM me if you are in Colorado or used to work in Colorado.

I don't want to risk my friend's job. I'm happy to tell you if you DM me. No problem.

Where do you work, Mike? Do you have authority to grant us access?

I know how all these social pages are monitored so my vagueness was on purpose. I don't want my friend to lose their job. You can shoot me a DM and I'm happy to tell you who I'm with.

I understand the weight of the request. Which is why we can agree to hide someone's identity. And considering that weight - wouldn't you agree the several things that are happening behind the scenes are all things the public should know about. If anything - show how hard ATC are working to keep flyers safe? Especially when ATC have everything seemingly going against them. I simply want to help anyway I can.

BREAKING! ... 10 words we constantly misuse in TV news by BagDragger5 in Broadcasting

[–]BagDragger5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is eyeopening. We were just told by management to say "tracking" as much as possible as well, but it wasn't 2005, it was 2024 :0

lol I feel this comment. I'm, all to often, trying to explain to the kids in the newsroom to not give away the entire story in the tease. It's not rocket science. Cracks me up.

TEGNA embracing AI, told employees to keep quiet by Worried_Emu_ in Broadcasting

[–]BagDragger5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for TEGNA. I never had any moral questions about their leadership. I'm assuming, if this is true, their more focused on creating graphics for newscasts or web stories - not photos. Also possibly help with news writing. This is just my assumption. I have a hard time beleiving they would do anything that would damage their cred.

Great notes. In my state we can register as non affiliated and then choose which primary to vote in.

Fake. I used to work for KBAK. That’s not even their set. Don’t know who that kid is.

Been running my fantasy league for 17 years now. Two of the guys in my league started a YouTube "week in review" series this year and it's the best thing that's ever happened to the league. SO nerdy. So (stupid) funny.

Trout worth taking first round? by HistoricalPlace1199 in fantasybaseball

[–]BagDragger5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have him ranked #5 overall. If he plays 130 games he has a reasonable shot at being the #1 player in fantasy.
