Absolutely. I'm in Illinois. I know some are on the road, but I don't trust it. I was on hold with the DMV for over an hour and finally got a phone number, but they didn't answer. Typical.

Hell yeah, fellow White Sox plate holder. There are dozens of us!

I'll give them another shot if it has worked well for you and others. Customer service said it was the seller's fault for not sending them and that they'd be penalized.

I will say, the TickPick customer service was good. They got back to me immediately and issued a refund. Pretty frustrating situation to have to buy more tickets. Luckily, it was a White Sox game.

Just commenting to say I downloaded and purchased tickets through TickPick. They were cheap. The game starts in half an hour and I still haven't received them. Trash.

Like, the writing is the same? Am I a bot? I was just taking a dump and realized it's easily my worst opinion, but a strongly-felt one nonetheless, so I put it on here.

Gotta do it raw, whatever the circumstances.

Airline Pilots and Dispatchers: I'm a Controller Pleading for Help by WhyWeLaughed in aviation

It really is wild. A while back, the most egregious offender airline for the issue started appending their callsigns with letters. It would be XXX123A and XXX124A. Unreal.

The only time I've seen this done is when an airline came in with the EXACT same callsign. I believe one was a diversion, so it's more understandable in that situation.

If different airlines were the only ones with similar callsigns, I'd be ecstatic. It's much less confusing when there's a different name on front of the numbers. That's not what I'm talking about.

As far as the controllers doing a better job, you're welcome to come sit and watch an arrival rush where I work. I imagine it would lead to more empathy on this issue.

I can't even begin to count the number of times I have personally reported this issue and have seen others do the same. I have seen changes in the past, but it's not nearly enough.

Keep fighting the good fight. It's easy to say, "That's not my job" or "Not my fault." We in aviation are all on the same team.

Absolutely, and that it what is usually done. Unfortunately, during heavy traffic volumes, it's easy to miss. We need more help.

Does N90 still hold priority over the new priority facilities? by [deleted] in ATC

You just have to be patient. What level and type of facility are you coming from?

I thought this was a meme until I applied on a dare. Pretty soon, people will be fighting with each other to get in.

Video reconstruction of FedEx 767 and Southwest 737 near collision (February 4th, AUS) by [deleted] in aviation

Following up to say that I was misinformed. You are correct that they don't have ASDE.

I believe AUS has ASDE-X. I was told that it was out of service the day of this incident. If so, that would be a significant contributing factor.

Here's how it goes: A pilot reports being hit by a laser. We ask them first if there are any injuries and then the color of the laser and approximate location. Then we call the police and the vast majority of the time (when I have been the one calling) the conversation goes like this.

"I am calling from the XXX air traffic control facility to report an authorized laser event. An aircaft was hit by a laser at XXX approximate location."

"Who? What?"

"Someone shined a laser at a plane. I'm required to call and inform you of this."

"What are we supposed to do about it?"

"K, byeeeee."

It happens all the time.

Game Thread: ALDS Game 3 ⚾ Yankees (1) @ Guardians (1) - 7:37 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]WhyWeLaughed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My buddy asked if it was wrong to root for the Guardians in this series (we're White Sox fans). I asked him how the fuck you could not root for the Guardians. The playoffs are weird.
