   I always try to get this username which I created not long after I got my first PC and got internet access. It's a riff on the call sign of the airline I worked with at the time. On the rare occasion when it's been taken I've

   iirc, Ed is a career DAL employee who bootstrapped to the CEO position, so while he's not an ops guy, per se, he still "gets" Delta and what makes it the company it is. That's a trait I suspect you'll find makes in

   The Twsbi line is really impressive; the Eco, in particular, is an especially great value. (=> I'm in my 50s and started to retrain my longhand during the pandemic & concurrently dove into the fountain pen rabbit hole.)

    "Searching for Sugar Man" (2012) took the Oscar that year and for good reason. If you like cultural/arts/music stuff, just go watch it. protip: don't read up on it before since nearly any write-up may include spoile

    a change in the scheduled stops (intentionally) would be a reroute or flagstop; a diversion is when you aren't planning to stop somewhere else but have to, because reasons. analogies: flagstop : on the way to Walmart you decide to st

    Control surface write-ups are *huge.* The 737MAX design is broken as designed ... and then poorly built. I actively won't fly one and I've never said that about any other aircraft. (me => FAA licensed aircraft dispatcher /
