Yes, this is an avenue into the career of being an airline pilot. However being a military pilot doesn't directly translate to being what is essentially a bus driver, and there is extensive retraining that has to occur. But yes, the a

I just recently went through the process at age 49 to get my pilot's license. Purely for fun, however the vast majority of the students that I trained with were just like many of the hopefuls in this article - pursuing a high paying c

I am a pilot, and in aviation related topics pilots tend to be almost ridiculously pedantic about stuff. I want to congratulate you on writing the most pedantic thing I've ever read in my life. Truly a masterpiece. I can't wait to

I'm going to somewhat agree with your assertion, because I'm one of those developers that builds my business by simply plugging what are essentially legos together and googling stackoverflow solutions to my architecture problems.

I run Broadcastify, which hosts 7000+ live audio streams of public safety communications (police, fire etc) and we use icecast, and a number of other open source toolkits with a custom developed set of orchestration on the back end.

Yes, the vast majority of homeschooled children are the product of extremely evangelical families who close ranks in fear that their children will be taught a perspective that doesn't align with the parent's values. And that&#x27
