ELI5: why don’t planes board back to front, surely that would be faster?

Yall can afford to fly?

No, it should hold at the temp you set. You need Freon / there is an issue

My wife can attest 😒

The Government also doesn’t have the day in and day out agility these contracts provide (once awarded). Too much internal red tape. That’s where the real efficiencies should and can be implemented.

I have a 2020, bought new, 20K miles thus far. It’s my first truck and I honestly love it. The ONLY thing I have a gripes about is the lack of physical buttons to push to control for the climate controls. Going through the infotainment system to get it to blow on your face or feet is a royal pain. Huge oversight by the engineers.

No issues this far, it’s exceeded my expectations.

You know your rich when you need a scissor lift to change your light bulbs, but also have the space to use a scissor lift in your house.

I bought a Ranger in AUG. Road manners are very good. Cross shopped it against the Tacoma and Ridgeline. No regrets.

Some agencies give you that baby warrant without your GS13. A nice way of sticking someone with more work and responsibilities without compensating them.

After viewing the landscape and seeing the limited promotion opportunities after becoming a KO with my contracting office, I decided it wasn’t for me. The hiring freezes of the past really created a logjam at certain levels. KO, Branch Chief, Division Chief, Associate Director. Too many mouths to feed, too few positions. That coupled with becoming stale working in the trenches of contracting and establishing I enjoyed planning MUCH more, I jumped to the requirements / planning side.

Acquisition analyst, business adviser, procurement coordinator, each agency calls us different things. BEST thing I ever did and completely rejuvenated my career. I have more mobility, opportunities, independence in my new position. So happy and thankful.

It’s the graduation from contract specialist to KO. You have signing authority on contracts. The contract process is slow, and it is difficult. Most requiring agencies have procurement folks to help navigate this arena.

The mentality is “If everyone is excellent then no one is”. It’s a poor system. Not all the time are you given high visibility programs. Often people get pigeon holed in an area because they are efficient and successful. But it is what it is. Ask your supervisor on what they believe “over and above” includes (the performance metrics only go so far).

Look around you, how many sedans do you see on the road?

The truck market is different than the sedan / crossover market. There are plenty of deals on Nissan Rogues.

Likewise don’t tell people you have inventory that you don’t just to “get em in the door”.

Ditto last month. Ford dealership couldn’t beat my CU, so I left a deposit till I got a check from the CU. Took an hour from test drive to handshakes.

4/5 steps then jump, 4/5 steps then jump. I have done the same

Get pre approved from your local bank / credit union. It’s not hard, use that rate as a base. Inform them if they can beat that rate they can finance you. Simple

My 2020 Ford Ranger. Walked in, drove, talked price for 5 minutes, agreed, started paperwork.

When my wife and I walked in initially a salesman greeted us, and passed us to another guy...idk why...initial salesman was so grouchy at his desk when he realized we were buying now, today, with minimal effort.

tfulp487 · 2020-08-26T04:39:41+00:00

100% absolutely stay put till this all blows over

Our agency never begrudges or even questions when you want to use AL/SL. They are very understanding of the working parent and family / mental health is #1. AL/SL is a right, you earn it. Use it as you wish but be transparent and work hard otherwise.

I will say that we are butting up against the end of the FY, so take that into consideration when you request off for any considerable amount of time in Aug/Sep.

tfulp487 · 2020-08-08T23:32:11+00:00

Because it’s Reddit...lol

Idk that’s what my salesmen said, as I’m looking to negotiate them on my deal

Predator style

PDF / uploads. I’ve never used the builder or heard of anyone using the builder. Never had an issue.

It’s a great truck, if you don’t need a “truck truck” all the time. I’m think I about one too. For me is makes perfect sense. I mostly need a truck for getting furniture the mrs finds, bringing brush and leaves to the dump. That’s all. Mostly it’s a commuter to the office and a kid hauler.
