I would suggest that it is the wrong type of fuel quantity indication system for the specific application. That is, it was designed for a fuel tank to which fuel is not routed back the main fuel...

Perhaps in an all white organization there has never been anyone in particular discriminated against. Perhaps each time there was an opening the best candidate for the job happened to be a white...

If the best candidate that applies for a given job every time a job is posted is white, and the company wants to hire the best of those that submitted a job application, the company ends up with all...

So if I depart the highway and drive into some trees I can say that I was just making a destination deviation and not consider it as being a crash?

The problem with hiring those best qualified for the job means that certain types will be less likely to get hired. Those less likely types will then complain and cause a fuss.

I am not likely to...

Southwest is all first class. There is no better seating.

One more generation and Pearl Harbor day will not be much different than Ft. Sumter day. Or any other (for some) momentous day that is well in the past. Time, tide and the past move on.

The greatest stresses (normally encountered) on an air frame result from taxiing for take off and the take off roll.

I hope the flight surgeon does not read this post. Could be hazardous to one getting his medical approved. Failed due to mental issues. Not fit to fly. Judgement is clouded.

Sad. Really sad.

Out of respect and some modicum of decency I am not exercising my freedom of speech to say what I really feel.

Just being announced by Cho and Trump.

Be prepared to provide a credit card number when filing a flight plan. Or taking off. Or landing. Or taxiing. Or calling anyone on the VHF/UHF.

The flight deck crew reported that upon ignition of the rocket it sounds as if a freight train is coming through the air plane. They say that the L-1011 lurches upward upon the release of rocket,...

Yes. In survival school. Lots of protein in those dead bugs. On propellers, windshields, leading edges. They sorta taste like chicken. Once you get past the crust you got it licked.

Possibly they will waive the 30 day maximum stay requirement. 4 bucks a day seems reasonable IMO but it will add up.

The times they sure have changed. Many, many, many moons ago I was being certified as USN enlisted aircrew. One doctor was complaining to me that his personal opinion was that folks like me, that...

Purpose of the medical is to try and mitigate the possibility of this happening. Makes it less likely but can't prevent it entirely. I suspect that is why there are two pilots on board.

IMO the punishment was not proportional to the crime.

What happens to an airline pilot that might endanger lives in some similar trivial manner? He might get a bit of retraining. That's all.

Don't hold back. Let us know how you really feel.

Should or should not a privately run ATC system (run under government regulations I presume) be profitable?

Most of the people I know want less government. Isn't that one of the planks that Trump ran and won on?

Wouldn't privatization of ATC by definition result in less government?

All seem to be for...

It is the golden rule. Them with the gold, rules.

The Air Lines - Where every customer is considered to be a criminal until he can prove his own innocence.

Not sure how you came to the understanding/conclusion that I am not in favor of identifying a problem and then working to find a solution.

The problem is apparent. The solution, not so much.

I understand it. I be a pilot. For 40 plus years.

Local airport is near me. About two miles away.

Piston pilots take off and cruise climb at full power. 2700 RPM. For what seems forever. No...

From a company/corporate stand point it makes perfectly good sense to completely scrap most/all of the airplanes, and related spare parts, if any.

This is all now just residual un-needed...
