I miss the Q already......though fortunately QX has retained their free beer (often a full can)
My very first flying assignment off OE at Endeavor was a repositioning flight from JFK to LGA. It was dark and immediately after takeoff we were given the visual to 31 and did we have the tanks in sight.
In my head I was still on short call dreaming about when I flew helicopters and actually knew what I was doing.
Major airline pilots: Scope clause now! Regionals are destroying mainline jobs and growth!

Also Major airline pilots: What is this garbage 5 leg days into RDM, PSC, EUG! Management suuuuuucksss
Always funny to me that we consider them weak or something, when their national anthem literally talks about spilling the blood of the tyrannical/illegitimate and using it to water the furrows of their fields.One day, I am going to look at the news, and it's going to say "France bans France"...
PEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER NOW GOTTA RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGEAlways funny to me that we consider them weak or something, when their national anthem literally talks about spilling the blood of the tyrannical/illegitimate and using it to water the furrows of their fields.
Or how we have people who actively agitate for raising our retirement age here, whereas (especially if you believe boomer facespace) Paris "literally burned*" when such a thing was even contemplated.
Huh.
* not really, I was there, it's fine.
The TGV high speed train network was part of their 1960s socialist vision. Slogan: “Progress means nothing unless it is shared by all". They still hold world speed records. Whatever the current ‘woke‘ complaints it sure means something.PEOPLE ARE LIVING LONGER NOW GOTTA RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGE

Why yes, public transit is inherently “woke.”The TGV high speed train network was part of their 1960s socialist vision. Slogan: “Progress means nothing unless it is shared by all". They still hold world speed records. Whatever the current ‘woke‘ complaints it sure means something.
