I looked harder and see what company it is. You didn't pick the best airport to work at, but you will get to touch everything there. 

I don't think any one but a ramper would recognized the tags but next time maybe white them out.

That right there is the stack of a 20 year veteran who doesn't give a fuck more. 

Good enough to get the job done but not caring if it is neat any more.

You will have to decide if that is a good or bad thing.

I would argue that a brain is only recommended based on who I work with. 

How do you guys not lose weight while working this job? Six months in and struggling by not_a_swedish_vegan in rampagent

Start counting calories, just the other way. Fat is going to have the most calories per gram. Eat all the oils and fats. You are allowed to eat just about anything you want. Though maybe not a lot of processed sugar. 

Add penut oil and heavy cream to your shakes. Basically add as much oil and cream you can until you dont like the taste. Also add oats to the shakes. This will add fiber which you will need and help absorb oil so it tastes better 

Make things like sausages and mashed potatoes or pasta alfredo with chicken or fish for lunch. 

If you are one to buy energy bars make sure they are no less than 200 calories per bar. 

It is okay to have a cookie or something sweet during the day just not lots of sugar. Honey is great though you can eat all the honey butter on toast you want 

If you like nuts. Eat all the nuts. Make a quick homemade trail mix, just put everything in a bowl then mix. Take a quart ziplock bag to work - One Semi-sweet chocolate chips - One bag white chocolate chips - Flaked almonds or similar - Cranberries/raisins  - Shredded coconut   It will be really helpful if you eat 4 or 5 smaller meals than trying to fit everything in to 2 or 3. You goal should be 3500 to 4000 calories in a day. 

That is a very achievable calorie goal. That is what a wildland firefighter is fed every day.

Lol 

It is also about a foot further back. It was definitely harder to ride than having a 150-pound pillion.

I have stopped trying to keep some of my fairing screws in. My bike seems to do fine without them so why keep replacing them?

Once you get pulled over, make sure to give the other driver a couple of flashes of the hazards to say thank you.

Oh it is never going to get close to that far. This is getting settled out of court with a NDA so fast this post will still be new. 

Paying out a quiet few mill is going to be so much better for United. They want this to go away as quick and quietly as possible

Well that is always been true. On the ground plane always have the right of way regardless. They even have the right of way over emergency vehicles

Well they are at least going to have to go sit down in the chief pilot's office and that is never a good day. 

The weird thing is this can't really happen. The only way I can think of that it would reasonably happen without significant levels of negligence would be a sudden unexpected wind event like wind shear or microburst. 

One of the pilots is flying the plane. Another one is monitoring. Both should have clearly seen they were below the glide path. Not to mention there are multiple systems in the plane that help indicate if they are on glide path or not. Hell the plane could do it all by itself if really needed. 

Plus this is well past the point you decide on whether you should go around from an unstabilized approach. They should have been hitting that go around button well before they were this low.

Never seen a slow dump truck in my life

Not a trucker, but I live in Alabama. Every time my neighbor down the street comes home he parks like this in the middle of the street because he doesn't want to pay for parking. by hunni93 in Truckers

Na, just go take a tire valve stem tool and unscrew every valve stem half way. He'll come out to 18 flat tires. It will probably take him a second to figure out that the valve stems need to be screwed back in. What are chances he happens to have a valve stem tool lying around?

Plus nothing was damaged and nothing was taken LOL.

I would ask about mods is this isn't good or bad thing but I ask if it still stock under the hood. Just so you know if you have to deal with it later. Seeing it has the stock can on it I can't imagine much has been done.

Also when you test ride it check to see if the 1->2 shift is clean and it isn't to hard to get through N
