In all his pictures it looks like he’s either just heard a corny dad joke, just told a corny dad joke, or is just about to tell a corny dad joke
I was out at the municipal airport with my son, looking through the fence at the planes, when I noticed this rather unremarkable Cessna on the ramp… unremarkable except that I did my first solo in it over 30 years ago.

Maybe if your restaurant staff is spending more time arguing with office workers than serving paying customers it’s easier to just make a clear policy and put up a sign that they can point to.
Shanwick:
“A higher altitude may be available upon request”
Us:
“Requesting a higher altitude”
Shanwick:
“Unable higher due to traffic”
Stop it with your mind games, Shanwick!

“If a former president can get convicted for doing crimes then anyone could get convicted for doing crimes.”
I mean… yeah. Isn’t that kinda the whole point?
Woohoo… all done recurrent sim for another few months.
Engines were failed. Flaps were jammed. Hydraulics were overheated. Overweight landings! Go-arounds! Over-weight go-arounds!
Back to the real world tomorrow, which will hopefully prove much less dramatic.

Companies get the unions they deserve.
Negotiate in good faith.
Don’t press the government to short circuit the bargaining process.
Pay your employees at fair market rates.
I stand with AMFA
Thanks to
@seanroofus
for providing the first photographic evidence that I can land a plane!
Unfortunately the indium tin oxide window coating makes my close-up a bit obscure, but that’s my pointing finger!

Airline life is kinda weird, socially, especially with larger companies.
We had never met before and it could be months or years before we meet again.
Still, we hung out like we were all buddies. A randomly chosen group of “friends for a day”.

We were a bit on the heavy side coming in and it’s a hot day out there.
The numbers were pretty tight for the short runway, so we took a turn in the hold to get the longer one.
Why slam it down and cook the brakes if you don’t have to?

Their days are numbered, but Shanwick is still rocking the classic Oceanic Clearances.
Still - the North Atlantic has come a long way since pure procedural separation.

Down in “the hole”. The trap door behind the captain’s seat on the A330 leads down into the electronics bay. The door on the left leads into the cargo bay. The foldable ladder is to climb down to the ground out the underside hatch.

- the “Boeing” part is irrelevant; they don’t make the engines.
- it’s a compressor stall, not an engine fire.
- the “holy crap” comment, to be clear, came from the people recording the video, not the crew.

DJT thinks “someone should look into” Harris’s assertion that she’s both Black and Indian.
Well, Donald, when a Black economics professor meets an Indian biomedical scientist, and they love each other very much… 🐦🐝
I was in the simulator the other night just testing out a couple things and decided to “old school” my last landing; AP off… FD off. Anyways, I apparently remember how to fly on raw data.
