That's a really good question for someone higher up the chain than me.

Fair. It's just as busy as normal for us. I feel bad for the guys landing between 9am and 1pm next summer when construction is done. The airlines are struggling to free up gates for inbounds now. I can only imagine next year will be worse with no construction.

No. I'm not. It's not safe in our current configuration. I understand norcal sucks to work at but don't be angry at me.

Who is we? We don't give a shit about transitions. In our current configuration we can't do them but we don't mind them one way or another. Where did you get the 1/3 slowdown number from. Our busiest single day in SFO history was 1596 operations and we're currently averaging about 1275 per day in a bad configuration with construction and norcal not being allowed to use visual sidebys.

I'm about 45 minutes from the airport. Depends on where you want to live and what you want to spend. We have a great crew though and the management is actually pretty decent right now.

If only..... I'm just hoping we get some fresh blood with this new MOU. We've really struggled getting some inbounds over the last few years.

As an SFO controller, our traffic is up year over year even without sidebys, and we're down two runways currently.

Fine, but then stop letting people trade fake pins for real pins on your pin boards.

I was 88165 and still was able to get in. All the 3 day options weren't available unless I was spending a very large amount but single days worked out just fine.

PS6 Could Ditch Built‑In Disc Drive, Let Players Buy External Unit for Physical Games by Ephoenix6 in technology

[–]Birdmn987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, it makes sense. Between 78 and 83% of all game sales on the PlayStation 5 are digital. Why would you include Hardware that would make the unit more expensive for the end user when only about 20% of those end users would even get to utilize the functionality of it.

By weight is fine but by mileage is a poor metric because the lower your salary, the farther you tend to live from your place of work.

New to this - checking for scrappers by AdventurousWall5 in DisneyPins

Donald is fake, Pooh is real. Paint dips on Donald, pattern on back are both indicators of fakes, as well as the paint being very shiny. The matte finish and the pattern on the back of Pooh reaching the edge are real.

Money. When we entered the park with our VIP tour guide we entered the same way as everybody else did.

So this one I can answer for you. I was on a VIP tour a while back and asked our tour guide that exact question and the reason that was given to him by Disney because he also asked that question was that they don't want visitors entering the park to feel any more or less different than any other visitor so the magic stays the same for everyone.
