I tweet about ✶✶✶✶Chicago✶✶✶✶ & airplanes. Expect typos, but not as bad as my ACARS messages. Probably on my 🚲 or a NAT track. Tweets are my own.

Flew my last flight as Captain on the Embraer this afternoon and couldn’t have had a better “crew” with me.
Excited to see what this new chapter has in store!

On Friday I passed my ERJ-170/190 checkride part of my Captain upgrade training, something that I've worked towards for the last few months. Right now I should be excited about flying a new plane, learning the responsibilities of the new seat, and looking forward to what's ahead.

Thank you to all who've helped me achieve this dream. 🛫

You're not an airline pilot unless you've walked along a highway to a gas station because it's the only thing around.

Not much but you fly by it when landing at JFK when the wind is blowing from the SE. Pretty iconic approach.

All their runways are just over 2 miles long, the longest one is over 3. For a good size estimate.

Now is the time to shine for the EMB 145 and CRJ 200.
BREAKING: The Centers for Disease Control recommended that Americans cancel or postpone gatherings of 50 or more people for the next eight weeks.
It's the most aggressive federal guidance issued yet in response to the coronavirus outbreak

I forgot to tweet this yesterday, but LOL to the pilot who did his entire welcome aboard PA on ORD Tower (120.75, 22L/28C). One of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

The airline pilots rebelling against a vaccine mandate on the grounds of, "my body, my choice" seem to forget they can't have beards or long hair. 🤷🏻♂️

I’m certain that there’s a direct relationship between the amount of trouble an airline website/app gives when booking a flight and how good a deal the fare is.

The 757 really is an amazing machine. Took off out of KEF this morning with a relatively light load. Climbed to our cruising altitude of 38,000 ft. In 17 minutes climbing out at 310kts/ Mach .80 (was granted a high-speed climb) made for an average of 2200fpm.

Not google maps suggesting I can bike on the ramp and across a couple taxiways to get to O'Hare.

Chicago’s O’Hare iconic “Penalty Box” is no more. The April 20th Chart Update shows it gone along with many other taxiways as the airport gets transformed for the new terminal.

We've been short pilots and ATC long before covid.
Joe Biden’s illegal vaccine mandate at work!
Suddenly, we’re short on pilots & air traffic controllers.

Somewhere over Iowa or Illinois early this morning hit a pretty big milestone, 1,000 hours of Captain time. It's been fun so far, here's to a few more hours! 👨🏻✈️🛫✈️

I’d like to announce that I’m running for Mayor of Chicago. Deep dish piazza for all, going to outlaw ketchup, re open Meigs Field, adding 12 runways to O’hare, change the spelling of “The” to “Da”, and finally going to push for Casimir Pulaski day to be a national holiday.
