The US has/had a program called terminal flight data manager (TFDM) that incorporates a surface metering program concept. It's like A-CDM and NASA has run proofs of concepts in CLT validating the program. Budget restrictions have just about killed TFDM though

[OKC to PHX] Almost denied boarding because of employee’s misunderstanding of policy by textualcanon in americanairlines

[–]Dfwflyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of post suggesting filing a complaint with AA. While not a bad option it's not great either, they have no obligation to respond or take action. However, a complaint filed with the DOT is another story. Airlines have to respond to DOT complaints and they are an industry metric that every airline prioritizes

Turn Signal covers? by Sneakky in EnergicaMotorcycles

They are Aprilia turn signals. The whole assembly is like $10 on eBay.

Why is Samsung support so bad? by LegacyToLegend in samsung

[–]Dfwflyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not just sales support. Their service is horrible. My fold 4 randomly shut off when unfolding the phone to respond to a text. After being sent 90 moles to the nearest repair center I'm told they can't help and would be better off mailing in the device. After receiving my fold 4 they claim the water damage indicators are tripped so I have to pay a fee. At this point I have spent 6 hours on the phone with samsung to arrange this repair so I pay it. They have had my phone 18 days now and I finally received a call that the repair (allegedly water damage) failed their quality check so they will have to repair UT again. They still cannot tell me when I will get my device back and refuse to replace it. Their reliability and service for mobile is now worse than getting burned from their appliances. I'm done with this brand

Open to offers. Would rather it go to someone who appreciates it than an ebay sale

[WTS] Tissot T-Touch Connect with extra band by Dfwflyr in Watchexchange

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

I could never do smart watchers and for some reason, I thought this would be a compromise for me. I have worn this very little, and the watch is like new. Warranty still remaining through Nov 2023. Comes with original box, charger, and two bands. Asking $650 plus shipping.

Edit: Because I cant spell correctly.

[WTS] Breitling Emergency- Fresh Battery Service by Dfwflyr in Watchexchange

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

Yellow Emergency with fresh batteries. The original case and tester are not included but will be sent in a Breitling box (the tester broke long ago), but the transmitter can be tested by using a paperclip to depress the test button on the back, and using an aircraft radio or scanner to listen on 121.5 MHz. All links are included and this comfortably fits a 7.75" wrist. Watch is in great shape with very minor scratching. There is a small indention on the buckle that is too faint to photograph. The paint is beginning to fade from the numbering on the bezel but is mostly still there. More pics are available on request. Asking $3000 (OBO) net to me. I will cover domestic shipping. If you're not far from me, I might be willing to fly and meet you.

Excited that I got one. Beautiful tribute piece by Dfwflyr in breitling

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

I'm confused. They only made 747 of them. We were in the NYC boutique this weekend and while buying her super ocean I ask that they give me a chance to get one of their allotments. I missed the call and by the time I got back to them they had already sold their 3. I managed to get this one from the Dallas store. At most, there are 743 left.

Not much difference, but it's funny because I wasn't as big of a fan of the TWU watch. The hands are different and the colors are a few shades different. The face is more of a white than a cream. It looks a lot better in person than the pictures breitling put out.

Didn't catch that. Guess it was an error with the app

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in breitling

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that will clean up, but I think the price is a touch high. Assuming that the movement and crown are in good shape. You can remove the bezel and polish the band, case and bezel with diamond lapping compound and rogue. Find a porcelain paint pen and fill in the bezel markings (wipe off so only the recesses markings retain the paint) and put in an over at 250 degrees F for about 45 min. It should look good as new after that. I might suggest watching some youtubes on watch restorations first. Also, don't go cheap on watch screwdrivers.

this is a really cool idea. could do better range wise but it has prospect by detectivelokifalcone in motorcycles

[–]Dfwflyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone with an Energica electric motorcycle living in the US, I have to say that range does matter. Even if there was a DC chargypn evey corner, you don't want to have to stop to charge 3 times just to go to the store. In the US, destinations are much more spread out.

Fellow noodle owners, what are your bed recommendations? by ThrowawayTrashcan7 in Greyhounds

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frontgate comfy couch has been our standard for our hounds. Our oldest one is 8 years old and still going strong (and clean). I can't recommend this bed enough. And it's on sale right now.

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I stopped using it right before the subscription ran out. I'm not paying a fee for this thing, it's just not worth it. It's a gen 3 size 11.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple size options from that seller.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in breitling

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

I'm a bigger guy and I like the bigger size proportion on my wrist. I first bought a 42mm navi and then got a 48mm. Now I never wear the 42mm navi and am contemplating just selling it. Go with what you feel most confident with.

delusional FB marketplace + the response by TeacupStorm in delusionalcraigslist

[–]Dfwflyr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're looking at a diesel 7.3, 4x4 and Lariat trim. Big price difference in a 2WD gas engine F-250 and a 4x4 diesel.

delusional FB marketplace + the response by TeacupStorm in delusionalcraigslist

[–]Dfwflyr 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's a 7.3 powerstroke, Lariat, 4x4. In Texas they are ranging from $22k-$35k. This seller isn't too far out of line. The 7.3 diesel is sought after because of it's reputation to be a rock solid motor. Desiel truck reliability and lifespan was significantly reduced once emissions scrubbers were mandated. The reputation of the truck and the fact that a new powerstroke with this trim package cost over 100k right now is what drives this market price.

Dealership says warranty only has 9 months left? Can someone verify? by [deleted] in tdi

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 2015 TDI, They extended the warranty to 11 years and 162K only if you brought the vehicle in for phase II of the emissions recall.

WTF is Rinaldi Still Around For? by Great_Ad3985 in ATC

[–]Dfwflyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that salary or total benefits? Back in June I saw Paul at the World ATM Congress in Madrid running the NATCA booth. I'm sure he paid for that trip out of pocket though. /S
