  1. +1....been an avgeek most my life, spent years doing the work travel thing, and have rummaged through countless reading materials at FBOs big and small. Have never heard of this so my FOMO is kicking in. Would love to learn more about it.
  2. He can't without cause....which is why he's all the sudden poking his nose in the Fed's construction project. He's trying to create some bullshit project mis-management/budget overrun "cause" to fire him.
  3. Was planning to suggest this one! That nonstop DFW-STS flight on AA makes it worth it. Plus the Santa Rosa airport is super easy and quick, as soon as you step off the plane you know you're in wine country. Both legs of the flight were not full at all, increasing your chances of an upgrade/empty row (may have been due to my timing last month though). I joked to myself it was probably the highest socioeconomic passenger ratio I've ever seen in economy. AKA lots of wealthy people who have flown before and aren't going to watch a movie on their phone with their speakers turned up loud. So yeah, assuming you live in DFW this is a great recommendation.
  4. As a Mooney aviator I make the pilgrimage to KERV every few months to wave hello at the factory. They've got a nice little GA airport and FBO but for airlines I think San Antonio is going to be your closest airport.
  5. Podcast was good, you can tell they're testing the waters on how casual they can be and how much they can get away with vs. on air. Something I'll need to get past is how their voices sound completely different compared to AM radio (I don't listen at all to 96.7). Throws me off without the AM radio-ification of the sound.
  6. Two opposite experiences with AA in the past few days for me... Last Thursday night flew ORD to DFW, after landing we taxied to the random holding area where we parked and eventually got to our gate 65 minutes later. I get it, they can't magically create a new gate just for us and tight turnarounds at existing gates are why I can fly to Chicago for an affordable $800. But we sat on the ramp for an hour under clear skies. WTF. But then last night flying back from FL, severe weather was rolling into DFW and the entire crew was in super teamwork/cheerleader mode to get us boarded ASAP so we could beat the storms. We pushed back 15 minutes early and landed safely at DFW just as the storms were approaching. And we didn't have to wait for our gate, we simply landed and taxied right to it. Sometimes the stars align I guess.
  7. Every time I hear the ad I'm convinced that company is going for a very specific demographic, and I'm lost on exactly which demographic that is. I cannot be the only who ignores medical ads I've heard on a sports radio station, and especially so if the voice-over sounds like someone helping me choose fertilizer at Ace Hardware. But maybe there's some market research out there that points to a group who has a connection to that and will buy in...
  8. I was in the Navy and today is the first time I've ever heard of Tall Ship and/or a tall ship festival. It does look pretty badass though.
  9. Boeing sells Jeppesen and ForeFlight to a private equity firm. Can't wait for price increases with a deteriorating product. Unless, given Boeing's recent woes, maybe these two units were being neglected and the PE firm will be better for them...
  10. Are you a PR by now? IIRC you've been there for about 10 years which was usually long enough for ICA to grant it.
  11. Apologies if mentioned upthread, anyone have recs for a 3 night stay in May in San Jose? Work is taking me there and I have flexibility to stay really anywhere in the San Jose area, though closer to the airport the better. Main requirement is I don't want to be isolated in a property that has nothing around it for food options. So far it seems like Escazu has the best options with an Intercontinental, Hyatt, and Marriott property in the middle of a shopping mall area. Works for me but thought I'd check here. Unfortunately as I'm there for work I don't have the option to get out and stay elsewhere in the country. 😞
  12. They are a huge player in the aviation navigation market.
  13. It's my understanding that somewhere in the Constitution (maybe the 22nd amendment) it spells out the requirement that the VP must be eligible to be President. Since he's ineligible via the 22nd he isn't eligible to run as VP. And yes I know he doesn't give a fuck and he's gonna try and run anyway.
  14. fake Jerry spelling out "d-o-t com" cracked me up
  15. Yeah this is the first I've heard of "scorigami" and after checking out the website it's just......why? Is there a point?
