@realChaseMartin @sydor_greg They are incredibly consistent, at gouging the fuck out of anyone unlucky enough to show up.

@sydor_greg Only thing consistent about the big chains is inconsistency.

On the topic of FBO's, it's basically a duopoly at the top Signature Aviation: 35–40% market share Atlantic Aviation: 20–25% Mid-market: (Million Air, Jet Aviation, Sheltair, etc.) makes up 15–20% Independents still hold ~20–30% Like anything, the big players offer consistency and resources. Mid-market couples white glove with scale. And Independents know your kids' names and how you like your coffee.

@EndWokeness Then why are those places still shitholes?

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D): "USA was built by Somalis, Indians, Latinos, Africans"

@BuzzPatterson I was walking to a diner in a small town during my cargo days and didn’t want to look like pretentious pilots so my FO and I took out epaulettes off for the walk. A guy in a truck goes flying by and screams “FuCKiN MoRmAnS!” At us… some days you just can’t win.

Funny story about actor Gary Busey. I was driving home from LAX after flying a Delta trip. My drive home from work was 47 miles. It could take anywhere from an hour to two+ depending on time of day. I landed at midnight, and started my drive. The traffic was so bad on the 405 that night that I decided to drive up the PCH through Santa Monica and Malibu. It’s a beautiful drive and I just looked at the ocean, and not get stressed. I pulled up to a stop light in Malibu about 1 PM, still in my Delta pilot uniform, epaulets and all. I looked to my left while at the light, in the vehicle next to me is Gary Busey. Crazy hair, crazy eyes. No mistaking him! He looks over at me and sees me in my uniform and he freaks out! He thinks I’m a cop. 🤣 He immediately looks straight ahead and put his hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2! No more eye contact. He thought I was going to pull him over. I laughed all the way home! 🤣

@imPenny2x If I got a penny a day that doubles in value I would crash the world economy in like 2 months and everyone would be fucked.

99% of people really do not understand abundance as Elon describes it. The fundamental reason is that they don’t understand compound growth. Same people who would probably pick 1 million dollars today over a penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days. It’s a bad choice by the way. You lose out on millions. Imagine if that doubling object was a labor producing robot instead of a penny. Compounding labor. It’s actually crazy if you try and wrap your mind around it. So Elon mentions Universl High Income and the midwits flip a lid. “The elites won’t share” You don’t get it. They won’t need to share. They will make everything so cheap, it is effectively free. Charities will have immense resources to distribute. Unfathomable intelligence will exist to help optimize production and distribution. An unfathomably large labor pool will exist that operates on solar power exclusively. The public work projects that are erected will be unseen before levels of breathtaking. I think we are incredibly blessed to steward this new age of abundance. Can you see it now? Can you see the future?

@BuzzPatterson Prequel.

Stop. No more. You’ll ruin it.

@basedganyu 4 Red Bulls is like a light pre workout day. Shit starts getting real above 500mg, ascend!

Y'all think I could effectively kill myself by drinking 4 red bulls and exploding my heart? How many red bulls would you have to drink to actually do that?

@nypost No way man I want top gun prequel, set in Vietnam F4s/Migs - Viper returns to the states after watching some of his friends get shot down and helps start top gun then goes back to Vietnam and kicks ass.

‘Top Gun 3’ officially in works — and Tom Cruise is returning trib.al/fFUHla5

@dingodawgie @robtexfw @BuzzPatterson Fire, air tankers.

@MeeKStreak @robtexfw @BuzzPatterson What do you do?

Did you know that when I left the Air Force for Delta Air Lines, I learned a totally new aircraft in the simulator. All of it. I never saw the actual jet until the moment I flew it.

@theficouple Depends how long have I had the mortgage?

Let’s say you had $132,000 in the bank. But you also have a $132,000 mortgage at 4.8%. Would you invest the money in the stock market or pay off the house?

@Polymarket Random fights and screaming at airport employees could see a major drop off…

JUST IN: Spirit Airlines is reportedly at risk of liquidation as rising fuel costs worsen its financial crisis.

@bdquinn The problem is the tax system is inverted, the lowest amount of tax I pay should be to the Feds and the highest should be to my local municipality and then state…

Property taxes are actually a fairly good tax.

@DefiantLs What a performative cuck.

Democrat Senator John Hoffman has a meltdown after Senator Glenn Gruenhagen says “illegals.” "Do not say say illegal in this committee"

@RepShriThanedar At least he’s got real eyebrows…

Meanwhile, this is your husband.

@CWLemoine Ooh man, or “privates” or “instruments to..” or With you Meter Fishfinder Loc Cyaaaaaaaa At this time For weather Commo

When people say “aircrafts”

@BasedMikeLee Better question which ones should exist, probably like 3, department of revenue, department of war, and department of transportation…

Which departments of the U.S. government should not exist?

@ObviousRises Some of my CVR tapes would be grounds for execution in many countries. Animal noises are for the losers we can do better, Austrian painter noises that’s the future of guard shenanigans.

If my pilot isn't making animal noises I want off the flight.

@BuzzPatterson Woah the RJ pilots in these comments are pissed. lol. Losers

Once an RJ pilot, always an RJ pilot. Grow up.

@LundukeJournal @no_one_quits Feeling like the land of the free yet?

A new national law has been introduced to require all Operating Systems to have mandatory Age Verification. House Resolution 8250 : “To require operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes.” The Federal bill was introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Democrat from New Jersey. And is co-sponsored by Elise M. Stefanik, Republican from New York. The full text of the bill has not yet been made publicly available (but is expected shortly). congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

@robtexfw @BuzzPatterson I’ve got a bunch of airline buddies. They’re dead inside at work, But their bank accounts are full. I still love my work and get to really fly down low and slow in larger jets but my bank account isn’t as full… it’s an interesting trade off.

@BuzzPatterson I got tickled one time talking to an airline pilot on a layover and saying how cool it must be. He just looked at me and said, it's like flying a bus after what he flew in the military.

@AFpost I mean he’s not wrong. The left thinks how can I take the cards he was dealt, the right thinks how can I best play the cards I have. Still might lose a few hands but have to keep playing.

After a young student asked JD Vance about the economic hardships facing young people, the Vice President flatly denied that you have to be wealthy to be successful in America and told those born worse-off to play the cards they’re dealt. Follow: @AFpost
