- barbazoo 11mo agoFAA could restrict who flies in and out of airports, why not target private jets? It’s like closing traffic for cars but letting busses in. Much better unit economics in terms of passengers serviced.

- koolba 11mo ago> That's what PJ's means. It means pyjamas, it always has. I read it as pajamas. And I bet you enjoy burgers with chips rather than fries. But the point still stands.
- csa 11mo ago> Absolutely no English speaker doesn't read 'PJs' as 'pyjamas'. While I agree that “pajamas” is the most common meaning of PJs, there is a certain socio-economic class in the US in which “PJs” is used far more often in speech to refer to private jets than pajamas. I’m a “language guy”, and it was a new one to me when I started spending more time around people who were referring to, and often users of, PJs. While the person you were responding to took a crass line, their linguistic intent was very clear to me.
