This will surely be a difficult marketing decision, and newsworthy.

Jump to postThat code is not one that you forget. Not going to provide any additional information on SSI, but it's supposed to be something everyone can remember. So why wasn't it used?!

Jump to postThat code is not one that you forget. Not going to provide any additional information on SSI, but it's supposed to be something everyone can remember. Please do not provide details, but this has implied that either there is one code that every pilot and FA at your airline knows or that the code is ...
Jump to postWish them well, but I would imagine the tabloid headline writers will have a field day when that sole 380 goes tech and over 600 pax need to be rebooked / re-accommodated. Hope they have a plan B handy for such an event. Happens all the time at legacies when airplanes are busted, it's very common n...
Jump to postI think none of the pilots/crew remembered the code to open the door from the cabin, which I think is a major safety violation - don't you all agree?! I think that is a pretty stupid assumption. That code is not one that you forget. Not going to provide any additional information on SSI, but it's s...

Jump to postI am convinced warm weather animals and plants are evil. Cold weather ecosystems for the win. Actually, you’re not wrong here.

Jump to postI can totally see how you'd equate speaking calmly to a police officer to shooting a cop to the point where he coded and came a few seconds away from death. Ultimately, your irrational opinions were confirmed to be just that, as Noor was convicted of manslaughter and the officer who shot Taylor was...
Jump to postJust to throw a wrinkle into this, at least one US major does have exemptions crew can use for Zika endemic destinations as the virus can cause some horrible birth defects. In this case crew members are expected to bid to avoid those destinations and then reach out to scheduling if unsuccessful. Re...
Jump to postThe main difference was that in the Taylor case the officers opened fire in response to a gunman shooting and nearly killing a police officer, while in the Noor case the only person shot was a woman who was attempting to speak to Noor. The "gunman" was the resident of the home the thugs j...
Jump to postInteresting tidbit, thanks. Unfortunately that has literally nothing to do with this case. I don't think it's helpful to go down too many hypotheticals here, but in other threads you seem to support unfettered access to guns, and here, you seem to be sympathetic to no-knock warrants. So... that set...

Jump to postDo you have a source for your claim that Taylor was murdered? Keep in mind that an investigation found that the officers opened fire in self-defense after Taylor's boyfriend shot and nearly killed a police officer.

Jump to postWell, for what it's worth, for anyone interested in continuing the discussions we've had, I'll at least be checking out but not committed to the new platform whenever it's announced. Hopefully, relatively soon.
Hope to see some of you there.
Hmm, we will see how that plays out,. However Tucker's ratings were tied to that 9:00 P.M slot, and he rose to promnence by pushing the same conspiracy's that got him fired. Did he get fired? I think so, yes. His final segment was interviewing a pizza delivery guy, and eating cold pizza from somewh...

Jump to postHow was Don Lemon controversial? He wasn't great to his coworkers, he's been blind-itemed on being notoriously difficult to work with, and I've even heard stories from someone I knew at a college in Boston who had to keep an eye on him when he was in town to receive an honorary degree. He's difficu...

Jump to postTucker Carlson will no longer be appearing on Fox News.

Jump to postThey can't say much other than that. Smartmatic and others still have lawsuits pending. Smartmatic will probably proceed directly to the settlement phase.

Jump to postZero I doubt it’s zero. Fentanyl is prescribed to chronic pain patients — less than it used to be, but there’s still some happening and no doubt there are people out there fabricating their need for it.
