I usually say QUE??? End of call!

I met OJ, in '69, at BUF Airport. I liked him at the time BUT....

It's what happens when companies refuse to accept an established working system, and try to use some off the shelf HP product that may have worked for Continental but can't handle the volume/complexities of a merged airline. Another problem is their lack of a manual fall back system. Flight Plans can still be filed with the FAA outside the failed system. Weight & Balance can be easily calculated by the flight crews, or a ground based location that has established radio communication with the flight(s). I worked for United 1968-2003, am a licensed Airline Transport Pilot and a licensed FAA Aircraft Dispatcher (the person who prepares/files the flight plans/weather briefings etc.). Sad to say that the airline that represents itself as United today, in not the company that I used to work for.

Donald Trump is saying a lot of what needs to be said, and hopefully done. He's no "Community Organizer!" IF he owned the BILLS, I'd love to see a press conference with Donald & Rex. There could be a lot of entertainment value in that.

Oh brother where art thou?

Is she responsible for Atlantic City disappearing?

Huh? Oh did I miss it?

Every employee of the Canadian Embassy in Tehran, who saved/rescued many US employees from the US Embassy occupation.

How can we evaluate "offensive weapons," without a starting QB? Somebody has to get the ball to Sammy for him to be a weapon.

The fine was absurdly low! Hardly a deterrent for some repeat performance.

Location, location! It's in the middle of NOWHERE!

Homo!

Along these same lines, no doubt you've seen the same things at the airport. If you're flying in/out of one of the "hub" cities, it's mostly OK, but once you get away from that, for example any NY airports outside NYC, you're dealing with "contract" people who are not airline employees, have minimal training, zero empathy, very low wages, no benefits, and mostly unable to assist passengers with any problems. All the "connector" air crews flying the Regional jets, (Except the American EMB-190's), are contract. They could fly for a Delta carrier one month, and then United the next. The companies that they work for are constantly under cutting each other. If a contract expires, the airlines will usually take the next "good deal" for the duration of that contract, and then it starts all over. If you want your job, interview with the "new" company and essentially start over. If the airlines get their way, they'll have their name on the wall in the terminal, and on the plane, and operate with all low-bid contract employees, air crews included. They have no retirement, health care etc.liabilities, just a shell company watching the $$$ roll in, and they know that if you have a bad experience, you'll fly with someone else, but they're operating mostly full anyway so buh bye!

Customer Service has mostly been reduced to the absolute lowest dollar amount that companies can get by with. Everybody is always looking for a deal, and buy at the lowest cost possible, which has cut profit margins, and therefore, Customer Service. If you do find good customer service be sure to tell them you appreciate them, and follow that with repeat business.

All these are good ideas, but the biggest consideration in retirement is $$$. Without that, you're back to whittl'in, and talking to animals.

How can anyone understand what's being said in a helicopter?

Let's see what his "ranking" will be after this season?

Now that's a real CAT I landing!

That was funny in the 70's and it still is today! Quiet, I'm watching Blazing Saddles, and the Roman Empire scenes from History of the World Part I.

Bellevue WA is filled with streams and creeks, which are beaver habitat. It's also filled with tree-hugger humans, so this was likely a real dilemma for the police.

Unless all this translates into a J-O-B, it's a waste of everyone's time.

What we have in Virginia are called "Mayflies," and they do sting.

Get them a calendar, it's June! They deserve to die before they can bite someone again.

Anything;s better than more Hipe and Charge.

Don't forget Ilio.
