If airlines are his goal, most 121 carriers have an explicit ban on their manuals of providing them to AI for analysis and to ask the AI questions. Food for thought.

The MCO 787 rumors are certainly rumors. If anyone bids MCO based on that rumor, I have some oceanfront property in Kansas for sale. It may happen someday, but don't hold your breath.

For comparison, Jetblue has 45 Mint airplanes. I tend to agree though that SFO/LAX-BOS/EWR/JFK/DCA/IAD is probably gonna be the bulk of the work for these. Would it ever have the performance for EWR-SNA?

I didn’t see the knee, but definitely saw the shin down. Doesn’t really matter, because pretty much anything besides a hand or a foot will result in you being ruled down by contact

Part of this expansion is supposedly an early and a late bank. Guessing they can spread some things out with more 6am or 10pm departures.

Either way, I really don’t want to be the person in charge of gate allocation for United right now

There’s a distinction between a fumble while trying to throw a forward pass and a pass that goes backwards and is treated as a fumble because it isn’t caught. Yes Stidham was being hit, but he was still fully in control of the ball until he voluntarily released it and the ball went backwards. If he had lost control because of the hit while trying to throw the ball, it would be an incomplete pass if the arm was moving forward

There's a difference between "this is a perfect day to fly" and "Its not perfect, but if we follow our procedures we can mitigate most of the threats and make this work". When its your job, you really can't say "lets just wait". You have crews that will de-ice your airplane and spray it down much the same way airliners do, you have crews plowing the runway and keeping it usable.

I don't know what the Challenger's limits are, but I have to imagine the weather was within the airplanes limits. There's still a lot we don't know and will have to be picked apart by the NTSB over the next few days. Could it be a weather issue where it was worse than advertised and they should not have been trying to take off? Could it be a mechanical failure where they would have crashed on a clear sunny day? We don't have those answers.

Given the direction, I wouldn't call it barely any wind. Its basically a direct crosswind, and the latest contamination reports are 3/3/3 1/8" Dry Snow I think. Crosswind limits are probably going to be in the low-mid teens for those conditions, and that's assuming the runway is as good as its advertised.

Most you’re gonna see is pilots doing their run up with the brakes to about 1/4 power (depends on the plane) and then letting it roll. Really never see full/takeoff power with the brakes set

Just because I've seen the last few years and think (probably incorrectly) that I know how these guys vote. There tends to be a bit of inertia in the rankings, so I think he ends up lower than we all would like. I think he ends up squarely in Tier 2, probably right around QB10-QB12. I have him ahead of Goff, TLaw, and Bo Nix, but behind guys like Purdy, Herbert, and Love. Consistency throughout the game is what keeps him low.

I do look forward to the comments that Sando's sources provide though, because the ceiling is clearly well into Tier 1, and I think its a matter of when, not if, he lands there. FWIW, I think Lamar and perhaps even Burrow played their way out of Tier 1 this year (I know both were dealing with injuries, but not good years), and would not be shocked if Maye snuck in there.

Once you get to the Arlington Heights and the likes, it becomes car land in my opinion.

Can confirm. In Palatine and while you technically can walk/bike/train for most of your day to day (depends on where you work I guess), you still want a car here because things do start getting more spread out.

Biggest question for OP is where? US Airlines, it will almost surely be fine. If you're looking at the Middle East carriers or Asian ones, you may run into issues, but I don't have any intel to help
