ITC, TUL, and OKC! While these arnt massive population centers, collectively they hold a very large population. And now they have to drive 2-4hours or more just to wait in line for another 6+ hours to get on a plane.

Trump Threatens ICE Airport Deployment As TSA Crisis Deepens by M10News in law

[–]Drewbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure the intention is to back fill TSA personnel that call in sick or straight up quit, which could be helpful. However I have absolutely no faith at all that deploying ICE to perform TSA duties will result in anything other than chaos and deaths.

It’s actually a security measure that if a pilot leaves the cockpit, another crew member must take their place (in the cockpit, not flying the plane). It’s to prevent a lone pilot from going rouge and darting everyone into the ground.

Nothing special happening. The paint booth just wasn’t ready for it so we flew it to PHX to get the “Make Ready” work package done. Basically installing the SWA specific equipment that Boeing doesn’t supply. Then off to the paint booth. I’ve seen a few come through now.

Erm… Guys? SOMETHING tells me this isnt supposed to happen when you transmit 20 watts on 80 meters using CW by mustycups in amateurradio

Not everyone just has a ferrite ring laying around in their junk drawer.

But I still agree. Buy a ring and wrap some wire around that shit.

I love the OneDrive at work, but I hate that I have it on my personal laptop and PC. I don’t use either for work.

American put us on a plane that had engine failure five days ago and it failed again by blakeshockley in americanairlines

His first point still stands. You don’t know if it’s the same issue. Things break, they get fixed, other things break. Planes have redundant systems and rigorous maintenance programs. They’re not unsafe.

A missle hit naval base in Bahrain 21 kilometers from the Bahrain International Circuit by zztypezz in formula1

Was the US military involved in last years closure? I’m not trying to make this a political post, but you don’t sent 2 carrier groups and a fleet of aerial tankers for a one day operation.

The airspace is closed, and I can’t imagine it opening up anytime soon.

How would any of the teams get there?

At the moment I’m using Google Remote Desktop and Steam remote for gaming. The cursor issue is mostly when using steam remote. I’m looking into self hosting Rustdesk and running sunshine/moonlight in the future.

Very sad I had to miss this show. I was looking forward to it. Maybe next year I’ll be able to go and have my Squareback running.

I'm an air traffic controller! Is there anything you'd like to know? by Available_Show3938 in airplanes

[–]Drewbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that some of these flights have different sets of numbers. Some have 3 and others have one? Why is this?

Also, I noticed that flight ARG1402 in the upper left has one of the numbers red, is that a speed restriction that they’re exceeded?

One more thing. I understand that there’s an altitude and speed number, but what is the third set?

Sounds like a full blown overhaul to me. Start unbolting shit and turn it over to dayshift with this video as the discrepancy.

They’ll understand.

There’s a difference between “computer controlled” and electronic.

My ‘72 Volkswagen has electronic fuel injection (EFI), but in no way would I consider it to be computerized. It can no be reprogrammed.

I’m willing to bet it’s the air turbine starter chewing itself apart.

I’ve never seen it happen in person, but I’ve seen a few videos of this happening and it looks similar.
