You're right. The world doesn't need pilots. I'm all for getting people back on the road and on ships. It only takes 4 days to cross the country.

The worst part about an airline career is the instability - it's either boom or bust, not really an ideal career for paying off loans that could take decades to pay off.

No need to apologize, they're the worst. And it all comes down to how they're managed.

I don't see how the two situations are related other than they're both airlines.

My bad, I think the pilots said they were going to strike without going through the negotiation process, which would have been illegal, but it sounds like was in response to the company illegally taking away benefits and not negotiating properly in the first place. At any rate the strike is now called off as they're

And it looks like the pilots only took a strike vote. This is just an authorization from the pilots to the union that gives the go-ahead to strike if they get to that point in the negotiation process. I think you have your facts confused. I suggest you read Flying the Line.

There's not an argument to take the compensation for the executives and divide it up between the pilots. The argument is that Allegiant has monstrous profit margins but they are unwilling to reinvest the money into scheduling, sick leave, airplanes, training and maintenance while still giving executives very generous

It's odd Bar Refaeli would say that from an attractiveness or a poise standpoint.

Cupping.

Nevermind, looked it up and it's -900 wings with raked wingtips on a -800 body. More or less.

Is that a new wing compared to a 737 or just new wingtips?

The US is in the stone ages when it comes to this. From first hand knowledge I know it's been tried. The US now insists college grads go in with 1000 hrs when Europe has been using a structured system that puts people with 200 hrs into a 737, etc. Almost 100% pilots go through this system but apparently it's not safe

It looks like Honda put some money into Indy, not enough in F1 and just the right amount in MotoGP. Hopefully F1 will steal MotoGP's porridge.

You can't spell Australia without Schwarzenegger.

As I kid I fealt nothing for the F50 so therefore it's bad a car. Now the F40...

Wait. My soulmate is in Alaska?

Good luck McHonda.

My dream is it to be modular down to a minimal 1 person vehicle that you could have add-on people-space or storage. Maybe it could be Gordon Murray's next project. Or you coulde just get a motorcycle then add a sidecar or two or three, a couple of trailers... or maybe two scooters that could Voltron together and a
