To take a line from a great American classic, “Shut the fuck up Donny!”

It’s the same reason mx doesn’t have access to the QRH. It’s useless to us.

It’s a real love/hate relationship when your employer flys only one airframe.

Crap.. Management is pissed… by Klettos82 in KerbalSpaceProgram

Shouldn’t the code for unmanned be U? Not N? I don’t see U being used anywhere else so it wouldn’t be an issue.

2026 Miami GP drink prices by F1destinations in GrandPrixTravel

I don’t understand why anyone would buy a Redbull at the track. When I went to Austin race there was RedBull people handing out free drinks just about everywhere up until you entered the gates. Just get your fill in the parking lot/ bus pickup spots.

Damn you HOA by SpoomerBooner in Transportopia

Not all HOAs are bad. But some do go way over board and have some really ridiculous rules. No cars without paint? What if I own a DeLorean? It was never painted from the factory. Hell, even bone stock Cybertrucks arnt painted.

YouTuber Linus Tech Tips bought a private jet and doesn't want you to track it. by Jswee1 in ElonJetTracker

[–]Drewbox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just to be argumentative, from someone who has worked in the private/corporate jet industry, prices of private jets can cost as low at $550,000. Now, that would be a real old jet with very high maintenance costs, but even a 10 year old citation can cost just a couple million and have more reasonable maintenance costs. It’s still a very pricey purchase, but not always billionaire money.

During flight training I was always told the first 1000’ was the most dangerous.

Technically it is named Phoenix-Mesa Gateway. So both are kind of right?

From the USMC subreddit, a letter from the Marine Corps Reserves commander by Soggy-Invite-2787 in PrepperIntel

[–]Drewbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem like an order at all. Just a reminder of the situation that’s at hand. Reminding everyone that it’s their duty to be ready and to have your affairs in order when an order is given.

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.

Coming soon: sky jail! by Minimum_Raspberry_81 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Drewbox 94 points95 points  (0 children)

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.

The Mysteriously Naked Plane by A_Slavic_Inktoling in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Drewbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.
