Guys if you ask a woman on a date and she says yes don’t ask her what she wanna do next. Big Turn off for women. Tell her where you’d like to take her then ask her if that’s okay. Extra bonus points if you also have options in case she’s not feeling your original plan.

As an airline pilot I often tell people the most unsafe part of my job is the drive to work. I’m just happy I was paying attention to the road, wearing my seatbelt, and that I wasn’t speeding because this could’ve ended way differently.

For the few people that seem to think something ‘unsafe’ was done SAFETY is always the number one priority. This early arrival was due to a very short taxi, 160+ Mile Per Hour Tailwinds and an open gate in Atlanta super close to the landing runway. All factors aligned.
