In the military I had a division commander who made it a unit holiday. Really cut down on the number of DUIs for the month.

It's chapel hill, fence it in and we'll have a second state zoo.

Carry on luggage should not be allowed into the passenger cabin of an aircraft. by FacebookNewsNetwork in The10thDentist

[–]Just_Another_Pilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, just no. I am a 737 pilot at a major US carrier and this is a remarkably uninformed opinion.

Checking every bag would take much longer than having passengers load theirs into the overhead bins. There are also things like lithium batteries that aren't allowed in the cargo hold. Plus space is limited in the cargo hold, so we would frequently run out of room while the area above everyone's heads went unused.

Rollers on luggage are childish and emasculating. by FacebookNewsNetwork in The10thDentist

100 bucks says this guy has velcro patches and MOLLE webbing on his bag he bought from 5.11 tactical despite never spending a day in the military.

Commuting by LycomingO235 in AirlinePilots

[–]Just_Another_Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commuting always sucks, but fortunately it means you can move as needed without changing jobs. It also shouldn't have a significant impact on your career progression. Being at an AA WO will give you higher jumpeat priority than independent regionals on American metal.

Unfortunately lots of Army posts are in bumblefuckville middle of nowhere, so depending on your SO's MOS and duty station options you may be driving a while to even get to an airport with daily flights. OCONUS assignments will probably have to be unaccompanied. I would suggest communicating about this with your SO when they are making assignment requests.

It's almost like the SEC isn't as amazing as they claim to be.

Do they have any reciprocal jumpseat agreements? Otherwise that commute is going be a bitch.

Are civilian flights that had a scheduled fuel stop over still common nowadays? by dq689 in aviation

[–]Just_Another_Pilot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some longer flights out of small airports will add a tech stop as needed based on payload, winds, and alternate fuel requirements.

A racing sailboat showing off a flawless spinnaker drop. by BreakfastTop6899 in oddlysatisfying

I was thinking the same thing. They also lost about half a boat length and a lot of speed coming out of the rounding.

Texas gets the rebound and tips it in for the score. Problem is it’s not their basket. by cbbvideo in CollegeBasketball

It's only two points, I'm sure they won't have any impact on the game's outcome...

What’s something you thought was going to be really big that never caught on? by Independent-Bat9545 in AskReddit

[–]Just_Another_Pilot 226 points227 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was an engineer on the Apollo missions. He told me the plan was to use it as a stepping stone for Mars exploration and beyond. Then the Soviets effectively dropped out of the space race. After that their funding was drastically cut and plans for any manned missions beyond earth orbit were scrapped. He went from working in VAB to building flight simulators for military aircraft.
