@K3TripleR How many people use rotators?

Has anyone used these?

No one should ever drink airplane coffee. I’m amazed pilots will touch the stuff. I know any mechanic who has worked on the potable water system or has had to do the disinfection would never touch it. The ozone cleaning system (device used on the ground) is a bunch of crap as well.

@oeingoboeing Be that as it may 🙄this is not a criticism of the pilot, it's a criticism of American Airlines coffee. You probably just misunderstood it. It's 100% true that crew have been buying coffee in the terminal for years to avoid it, and this is bad for the operation.

Gary Leff is a know-nothing click-baiting hack.

@drivermallozz @neppy Is that more than you make driving a race truck? Can I pay more to have a nascar guy be my uber driver? This would be helpful when my route is the SRT in the DFW metroplex going to an airport at 4:30pm on a Tuesday.

@neppy not even close. We make usually 50-60% of a total fare. Engagement bait.

Uber tried to charge $400. Driver was making $70. Cancelled it. Handed him $120 cash. We both won.

@heydeepak92 @emm0sh No. It’s a cooler. The fluid or gas goes through the big opening and then through what you assumed are supports. The the medium, probably a fluid, flows around the tubes.

@emm0sh Those are 3D print supports!? 😅

who wants to explain to the AI companies what DFM is?

@Neelhippal17 It’s not about comfort. It’s a cost issue.

@Sloopythesloop Caravans would hurt more than a CRJ200 or ERJ-145.

New: @WhiteHouse proposing major cut in essential air service

@dtlogic1 @davidshepardson @WhiteHouse The problem with it is when a CRJ or 145 is used instead of a Caravan or that new cute little Italian twin (engine plane.) It has been abused by the majors with their regional partners. It needs to go back to smaller planes which will also help smaller operators.

@davidshepardson @WhiteHouse Because EAS mainly goes to rural areas, I would not be surprised if this actually hurts more Republican voters than Democrat voters.

@scottiebateman @ChuckIOM precious!!!!!

@Sloopythesloop @ChuckIOM She’s a Bernadoodle. And she looks just like the cartoon.

Quiz time. 1. What’s the building bottom left? 2. What’s the aircraft? 🧐

@scottiebateman @ChuckIOM What is the BIG H and why would Covid dictate proximity to the big H? Also your cartoon dog looks cute! What does he/she look like in real life and what type?

@ChuckIOM The puzzle palace… but not sure of the aircraft. Must be during Covid I’m guessing? Due to proximity to the big H.

@scottiebateman @Flying_Abi @OnDisasters That was pretty cool. I like how all the orbiters are presented in different ways.

@Flying_Abi @OnDisasters When they unveiled the orbiter as part of that show… I felt emotional.

I love her sm

@DanMcClinton1 @TexasRepublic71 Yeah I was reminiscing about the Pittsburgh place

@Sloopythesloop @TexasRepublic71 That's a Chicago chain.

Chicago is so bad even Portillo’s is coming to Texas!

@DanMcClinton1 @TexasRepublic71 What’s the Pittsburgh place that puts fries on the sandwich? I want them to come to DFW.

@TexasRepublic71 I know others have a different opinion, but I found it rather expensive for a mid chili dog.

@MCCCANM Darn

There have been lots of suggestions the SFO parallel approach thing is just construction related & will end. It is not. The two things are unrelated. The parallel approach ban is “permanent”.

@MCCCANM @OnDisasters I’m confused. It sounds like it will come back when construction is complete, right?

@OnDisasters Yes. It’s going to be a big problem. The parallel visuals were not unsafe. I loved flying them. I imagine airlines & maybe even the airport will fight this.

The rumor I shared last night is confirmed. No more parallel visual approaches into SFO when visibility is good. Buckle up, folks. This is going to be a real mess.

The uniformed Secret Service is also very rude around the White House. They closed the park in front of the White House in December when I was in it, as it was open at the time. They came out screaming at us to move and threatening to arrest us. I had no idea what was going on and didn’t realize she was yelling at me. I had a video but I just deleted it. It was of a female Secret Service uniformed agent carrying a long gun yelling at a bunch of tourists, all while another agent five feet from me was yelling at me, which I didn’t notice. I understand them closing the parks but at least put signs up or be polite if you’re closing it unannounced. There is so much yelling and crazies in DC that you never know if someone is yelling at you. That said, when I lived in DC they had the double fence (small real fence and waist-high barrier) around the White House. Now they have the tall fence that looks much better and you can get much closer.

For those who have not been to DC in the last couple months, Trump has about a 10 city block area around the White House fenced off 3 public parks are fenced off. President's Park and The Ellipse fenced off for no discernible reason. Lexington Square has been turned into a dump

@thenewarea51 @LadyAstroJet I’ll bite… how many portable radios do you have? Do you just do air bands or do you play with marine and the hf ham bands.

Greetings from my happy place. I’m listening to WASHINGTON CENTER on the Radio Shack PRO-107. I love this radio, it’s very sensitive on airband, only takes two AA batteries, and it has an internal database of every airport and ARTCC in the country via a SD card and the Radio Reference website. 😎✈️📻🤓

@thenewarea51 Interesting so similar to the elevators and ailerons on the 737.

@thenewarea51 Curios as I see a tab on the rudder. Did all the four engine Boeing 707s have this? I’m guessing it’s a servo tab to allow control if lose hydraulics and an outboard engine or both engines on the same wing?

Is this the first war time loss of a AWACS? I don’t know but the evidence keeps mounting. 🤨

@westwind_driver @aena Wouldn’t the changes in wacky colors cause issues for severe autism?

@Sloopythesloop @aena That is for ADHD/Autism people

Primeira vez que vejo um espaço de inclusão como este no aeroporto! Tem até protetor auricular! SBHT - Altamira PA Parabéns @aena!!!

@heartland_grump @ericmmatheny What crime besides the accident? He blew a zero, and denied the other test. The courts will now have to prove he was under the influence and I’m sure his lawyers will argue probable cause. He was arrested for dui yesterday, not convicted.

@ericmmatheny Most will complain that Tiger's getting preferential treatment because he's rich and famous. The truth is that he's just one of thousands of people who commit crimes in the US that are given plea deals and light sentences. It's time to make criminals pay for their crimes.

The Court will treat this DUI as Tiger Woods’ first and he will only be subject to the first DUI minimum mandatory sentence. His first DUI in 2017 was resolved to a reckless driving offense, so this is technically not a second DUI.
