FedEx McDonnell Douglas MD-11F has completed its first flight since the grounding of the aircraft type in November. The test flight from/to Memphis FX9045 lasted over one hour. Last week, FedEx informed flight operations, maintenance, and air safety staff of its intention to progressively bring MD-11s back into commercial service, starting with two planes near the end of May, subject to FAA approval of Boeing's corrective measures. Internal memos also indicated that MD-11 pilots must undergo a three-day refresher training course. Video: PlaneShenaniganz

@Govindtwtt Burger King is up (new Whopper). Chilis is way up ($10.99 Value Menu). Good food and service at a fair price. Inflation has caused people to rethink how they spend money. But they are spending.

@BuffSprkChasr @DGatheringstre1 @HistorianUSA1 Correct. A good tech can book 60+ hours in a 40 hr week. He also gets paid 2 hrs for a job that may take 3, and 0 hours for correcting a concern not fixed right the first time.
English
@DGatheringstre1 @HistorianUSA1 There's book hours, what the job calls for, and then there's how fast a tech can actually do the job. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Top BMW tech fired after just 3 months for ‘overquoting’ a repair?
This guy was working 6 days a week and pulling 140 billable hours per pay period.
Customer brings in a hybrid making noise on deceleration. He finds a completely blown differential and quotes the replacement plus rear axles as a precaution — standard practice to protect the shop and customer from future issues and liability.
Warranty covered the diff but not the $5k axles. Foreman handled the upset customer, repair was done, no immediate problems. Weeks later the customer complains the axles weren’t replaced… and the tech gets fired for overquoting.
He says another technician was fired for the exact opposite — not quoting enough when a car came back broken.
There are always two sides to every story, but if this is accurate, this hard-working mechanic is getting a raw deal.

@chucktodd @BarackObama @SpanbergerForVA BHO lost his mojo. He stumped hard for Harris, too. Locals will protest his bomb shelter in the park this summer.

Wonder what @BarackObama and @SpanbergerForVA are thinking at the moment. They sure burned up a lot of political capital in the Va remap campaign.

More than three million Virginians cast their ballots in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and the majority of Virginia voters voted to push back against a President who said he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress with a temporary and responsive referendum. They made their voices heard.
I am disappointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, but my focus as Governor will be on ensuring that all voters have the information necessary to make their voices heard this November in the midterm elections because in those elections we — the voters — will have the final say.

@GeraldoRivera Have you considered big oil’s P&L is market based? Oil is a commodity, same as pork bellies and soybeans. Should the same tax apply to farmers?
English
Oil companies are being unjustly enriched. They are war profiteers. POTUS should impose an excess profits tax. They are blood suckers.

@ToriatheistTori Your heart is in the right place. But our government is corrupt, incompetent and gives not a shit about you. Put them in charge of healthcare? Never.

Donald Trump is preoccupied with pet projects like securing taxpayer funding for his gilded ballroom, plastering his face everywhere, and renaming airports after himself.
Our focus remains on everyday life, which gets better and more affordable when we replace this corrupt administration and its enablers in Congress with serious leaders ready to deliver.
English
These words from an honest president are well worth repeating.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
Obama: “The president shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in.” Trump has raked in at least $4 billion since taking office, which is why he’s widely recognized as the most corrupt president in American history.

@XWorldCuisines When Paris was a mess a few years back we rerouted to San Sebastián. A beautiful city with amazing food and history. Getaria is a short drive and a must visit. Sip local wine while the chef grills your fresh catch street side.

San Sebastián is truly the food Capital of the world.

@MrDSteely @rocknrollofall I’m seeing them along with blues travelers and spin doctors in September…hopefully they have a better night!!!

Not everything is about Trump. I just believe every citizen's vote ought to count the same.
And that the person who gets the most votes ought to win.
Also, wouldn't it be nice for Utah to no longer be ignored in presidential politics?

(1) Donald Trump won both the electoral college AND the popular vote—so if we did as Pete Buttigieg suggests, Trump would still be president. (2) If you don’t like the electoral college, you don’t like the Constitution.
