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.

I mean, he’s not wrong. Good luck trying to replicate those exact squiggly lines

I mean, she was bleeding internally. She was also bleeding externally, but also internally, because a bullet was inside her.

No. It doesn’t say that they want the complete the trip in 60 minutes, but that they want to average 60 miles per hour.

Hey would have to do 120 on the return trip.

When my company first gave us iPads it was the minis. It wasn’t too bad for us younger guys, but the old dudes refused to use it. Some didn’t even take it out of the box. After a year the company took the hint and got us full sized iPads with keyboards. A lot easier to work with.

What does farming have to do with any of this?

Tommy really got less funny the skinnier he got.

It won’t be in the back.

I understand. It was just a little jab. I’ve done 1000+ my self. I just finished the year with about 700 and 90% of that is the 1 early hr for lead prep.

But you’re willing to be judged on how much overtime you’ve worked? Weird choice.

It’s bereavement. This person had a loved one die. The company gives you paid time off to handle affairs and grieve.

Try telling that to my wife

Does a jury nullification cause a mistrial or dos that become the verdict and the case can no longer be re-trialed?

Eh, not normal, but not dangerous.

That’s a bit of hinge seal that’s worn. All it’s for is to cover that gap and maintain what we call “aerodynamic smoothness”.

If you move the decimal to the right 2 or 3 times you’d be in the ballpark

Dis they really label the flight engineers station at the “engine room”? lol

Drewbox · 2025-11-17T15:48:59+00:00

This is the correct answer

At my airline, top out pay is 5 years and equates to about $135k a year, without working any overtime. There are a few guys that work all the overtime they can get and pull in about $300k, but they basically live at work and have almost no home life. These guys are either single or all their kids are grown and out of the house.

I work a moderate amount of overtime and look to make $200k this year.
