With the strength of the language departments at UT, what about Spanish? Portuguese? I mean we are known for our Latin American studies. Shit, add Creole. I have the first dictionary written on it. Happen to send to you.

I guarantee that United Airlines is not going to have to cut just a whole lot of flights.
But I have to tell you--I'm not exactly sure there's a mechanism for this under the Airline Deregulation Act. The point of the ADA is that the government doesn't get to tell the airlines how many flights they get to operate. There are a handful of exceptions at certain airports that have unique restrictions like slot controls, a perimeter rule, or gate limitations (LGA, DCA, and DAL, respectively). But broadly speaking, I don't know that the DOT has legal authority to tell the airlines to cut air traffic by 10%.*
And if you're the airlines, you're telling the DOT "fuck that--tell general aviation it's grounded." It's honestly a pretty reasonable take. It's definitely a take that the industry group (A4A) will take up. But it's also something real and tangible that Democrats can take up. "The Trump Administration made you miss Thanksgiving so that Elon Musk could fly his Gulfstream to Bermuda."
That fucking sells.
* Cue @Brisketexan jumping on here to tell me that I'm "soooo adorable" for thinking that this Administration needs legal authority to do anything.
Having worked with new tech for flight tracking, this is spot on. No rich mofo is going to miss their vacation, but grandma is going to get stuck in O'Hare.
What they can do is limit overspace. Done all the time. That is run by the FAA.

The only time I’ve ever been to PR was for a baseball tournament that involved one American team, one PR team, one Mexican team, one Dominican team, and one Cuban team.
Summer after my freshman year of college. I was 19 years old. Playing with some top tier college kids from other SEC schools.
We had a blast meeting all the other players. Most of them admired our top of the line gear. We all partied together, and broke through the language barrier with a general love for baseball, girls, booze, etc. 19-20year olds finding a common ground, and getting along. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life to this day.
Then we had to play against each of them. Each country’s team.
We. Got. Fucking. Destroyed.This is the way.

Well here we go.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown.
The agency is confronting staffing shortages caused by air traffic controllers, who are working unpaid, with some calling out of work during the shutdown, resulting in delays across the country.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said the agency is not going to wait for a problem to act, saying the shutdown is causing staffing pressures and “we can’t ignore it.”
Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said they will meet later Wednesday with airline leaders to figure out how to safely implement the reduction.

You have to get through the host intro screeching about CLE credit, but the oral argument itself is on this YouTube link for whoever wants to listen to the damn thing and make their own opinions about oral argument.
I’m home with the flu, so I’ll be listening to this thing and trying to stay awake. Twice is entirely correct that you can’t always tell the decision from the oral argument (remember VAPA roosterIng around claiming victory after the fifth circuit oral argument, only to be served his crow). judges/justices will often toss softballs to the side they don’t favor in order to see if they come up with anything else to change their mind, even though at first blush they favor the opposing side.
OTOH, some statements or admissions on legal doctrine during oral argument are so seemingly conclusive that it won’t be walked back during the opinion writing process. For example, in a statute of limitations case discussing whether you filed your lawsuit on time, an appellate judge might ask you a question that seems to support that you were not aware of the need to sue yet, only to find that judge later ruling against you. But if that same judge states in oral argument that “it looks clear that the statute of limitation had passed three months before you filed”, you can probably take that judge’s opinion to the bank as ultimately being against your client.
tl:dr. I’m currently testing the theory that cannabis will cure the flu, and will be listening to the argument. Feel free to add your tea leaves thoughts
Thanks for posting. I would add brandy and tea with the cannabis. It is an old trick.
