More and more of those newly minted pilots came in dirt cold and get trained by the airline. Guess where the Ethiopian pilots who crashed the 737 came from. The advantage is not having to train out bad habits from small plane operations. The obvious disadvantage is a lower internalized understanding of how planes fly,…

This is one of those issues that on the level of an individual seem like they really create impositions and cause problems for people. But, on a societal level, why would anyone weigh the import of your family’s old plane to be greater than the issue at hand of widespread environmental pollution? To answer my own…

You wouldn’t be the first person to no longer afford your hobby, you wouldn’t be the last.

People need to have fewer daily struggles in order to have room for optimism. How many solutions could we buy with the money currently being used by detached billionaires to show off?

Willams on the podium and Mazespin fastest lap?  What a race!

So many people out there tweeting and commenting after George got P2 “You don’t get points for saturday, though”.
