@billgensler @GeraldoRivera NATO was there for the U.S. post-9/11 and in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Stop with your selective amnesia/rewriting history.

@GeraldoRivera We cannot live in a one way love affair. We defend them and they give us nothing. They even impeded our effort with restrictions over their airspace. Time to walk away.

Putin, killer and kidnapper of children, is loving the shattering of the NATO alliance. It’s a dream come true for the embattled Russian leader. NATO-his sworn enemy-is fractured and he didn’t have to fire a shot.

That's Tiger Woods just landed. Welcome.

@pj_quant @sydor_greg This department has a history of keeping its jets for a very long time over its ~70-year history.

Our clients tend to trade when 1) it’s financially neutral or beneficial and 2) when operations will benefit (or be hurt by not trading) - we measure financial neutrality between keeping the older aircraft or replacing with newer starts after year 5/6 of ownership (using Life Cycle Cost) - financial neutrality considers not just OpEx and Mx but also replacement cost relative to market depreciation - dispatch reliability is a somewhat deceiving metric, we’re starting to track dispatch availability: how many days out of a year could I dispatch my plane if I wanted to based on its age. This (intuitively) decreases significantly in aging aircraft. - our benchmark survey of 140+ major corp flight departments show that the majority trade before the aircraft is 10 years old So net/net - if it’s financially neutral to trade after year 6, why own aging aircraft with less availability, greater risk of unscheduled events, and increasing risk of market obsolescence (parts availability)?

OK, I have a question, @sydor_greg: is it more economical for a corp flight dept to hold onto #bizjets long term (15+ years) or buy new every 5-7 years to minimize depreciation and heavy maintenance costs? A friend manages a flight dept at a Fortune 500 that does the former. 1/2

@PumpJaque @sydor_greg They ordered a new model that was supposed to be delivered in 1H27, but is now delayed until 1Q29.

@PumpJaque @sydor_greg One is older than 15 years, the other is about 5. They have a replacement on order, but delivery isn’t until 2029. My friend is very qualified to run the department. He inherited this Jurrasic Jet, which he still loves to fly, and was only given budget last year to replace it.

@gallarway @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews Five replies and counting from you alone...

@AIN_SkyWriter @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews You’re just making statements and assertions, you need to back those up with some examples or evidence.

"No one knows for sure" the scope or pervasiveness of "birth tourism", per Trump Admin attorney John Sauer argument just now to Supreme Court... .... in support of Trump's birthright citizenship exec. order

@gallarway @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews The overly crankiness and obsessive nature of people on Twitter today. Thanks for playing.

@AIN_SkyWriter @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews What point would that be? 😂

@gallarway @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews Keep going. You’re making my point.

@AIN_SkyWriter @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews

@gallarway @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews I’m not worked up in the least. But the rest of you certainly are...

@AIN_SkyWriter @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews No dude, you’re saying really stupid shit and then getting worked up about people calling out the stupid shit.

@gallarway @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews People on Twitter are just really fucking cranky today!

@AIN_SkyWriter @BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews Well… then don’t suggest stupid shit that a drooling MAGA would think is smart.

And he wonders if this really provides the best value. They operate two large-cabin Gulfstreams and are VERY brand loyal. 2/2

@itmatters2u2 @MacFarlaneNews They’re arguing that foreigners are coming while pregnant just for U.S. citizenship, requiring them to torch the 14A in our Constitution. I’m saying you can address this without trashing our Constitution. That’s it. Period. End of story.

@AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews People come into this country & can be here legally more than 30 days. Mar A Lago was approved to have 170 H2B workers in 2025. That allows up to 1 year in the initial visa & up to 3 on an extension. Certainly more than enough time to get pregnant & give birth.

@SuzyQL @MacFarlaneNews You must not travel internationally much. You have to check boxes saying that you haven’t visited a farm outside of the U.S., etc, and declare items you bought abroad each time you enter/re-enter the U.S. It would take almost no effort to add another question w/check box.

@AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews You don't have to fill out an immigration form to travel to the United States. I don't think you're thinking this through.

@SuzyQL @MacFarlaneNews A declaration on an immigration form is NOT a physical examination. Boy are you people reading way too much into this. I can see why many people have left Twitter.

@AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews Women don't generally fly if they're 8 mths pregnant or more. If they do, airlines often require medical certifications that it's safe. If they fly before then, what are you suggesting? That all women of child-bearing age undergo physical examinations prior to entering the US? 🙄

@SadieSam1 @MacFarlaneNews WTF is wrong with people on Twitter these days? Also, your knees just be hurting from the giant leaps you’re taking here. You have no idea who I am or what I stand for, yet you people make definitive statements like you do. Stop the world—I want off!

@AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews There is no workable solution to this. Russians and Chinese have been sending women here to have babies. Russians have been sending women to the Miami area for years. Nobody said a thing. Right in Trump's backyard too. He wants to stop brown babies from being born here. Wake up

@Samhain442 @KincannonKay @MacFarlaneNews You’re asking this question to the wrong person. Ask the people who filed this BS argument.

@AIN_SkyWriter @KincannonKay @MacFarlaneNews ...that makes it constitutional? Just because this admin keeps coming up with hairbrained schemes to punish people that don' t worship this fat orange turd, doesn't make them legal. Which is exactly why this case is in front of SCOTUS.

@BrewingZeus6 @cannonballmike @MacFarlaneNews We agree on something. But you’re still a f-cking troll.

@cannonballmike @AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews Yes. I support Ukraine Nothing wrong with that. They didn’t ask for their war.

@BrewingZeus6 @MacFarlaneNews Go away foreign-based troll

@AIN_SkyWriter @MacFarlaneNews Fuck off dude. MAGA or not you’re still a piece of shit. I’m sick and tired of people like you. Take your bigotry and stupidity and fuck all the way off. You and your ilk are destroying this country. You’re all making us look like a third world, intolerant country.

@Samhain442 @KincannonKay @MacFarlaneNews Immigration has wide latitude in who (non-citizens) they allow into or country. They cold not like how someone looks at them and turn them around and depot them on the next flight out. They just announced today that they’re screening people based on anti-Trump social media posts.

@AIN_SkyWriter @KincannonKay @MacFarlaneNews Why is it the state's business whether anyone is pregnant or not?
