Just sold one of my cars off to them, last week. I got paid the cash portion, but still waiting on my loan to get paid off. Going to really suck if my payment fell through the cracks because 2500 employees were chopped.

Yeah, I was thinking, I went to Dallas from Pittsburgh R/T for around $200 in August on Southwest, and they don’t charge you for your first two bags, so between that and a carry on and a personal item, how much luggage do you need? (I was there for a week and took 1 roller bag and a duffel bag). Years ago, I drove to…

I always find comments like this fucking hilarious. You can literally fly across the country for $100 with some advance planning and a willingness to be treated like self-loading cargo. WTF do you want? It’s been a race to the bottom for service because people want to fly as cheaply as possible. And if you AREN’T…

A perfect storm has hit the availability of pilots. First, as mentioned, demographics plays a role. But, I believe, it is not the number one factor.

We don’t have enough workers so you all have to work harder and longer!

This. Pilot pay is fucking bullshit peanuts these days.

Senior pilots got run off by the airlines because they made too much. Then the majors subbed out their regional routes to smaller carriers like Allegiant Air to take advantage of lower-earning non-union pilots.

So we force pilots to retire at 60 but we let walking corpses run the government?

That’s actually easy to answer...

Jesus..that car + kid is likely to equal very bad things.

emerging and non proven??? they had electric cars in the 1800s dude. 

richest one i know just paid way over sticker to buy my 16 year old cousin the first car he wanted. a zl1 1le. to add to his 65 corvette convertible they bought when he was 10 because he wanted it. and the 18 maxima his mom bought because he wanted to drive it when he got his license. her favorite thing is to tell us…

in what universe are EVs not a proven tech?

My wife’s Crosstrek gets surprisingly good fuel economy. Regularly in the mid 30s and if your doing lots of highway even higher. However, it is easily the slowest modern car I have ever driven. My wife doesn’t care that it’s slow, and I’d guess most Crosstrek owners don’t, but the fact that the only way Subaru can…

My WRX was always finishing a tank showing 19mph with 50/50 hwy/city.  It was hilariously bad and I wasn’t getting on it beyond the entrance ramp.

I live in Phoenix and sort of keep an eye on Waymo. If you look at all the hardware on those cars and check out the videos detailing the computer processing the car’s movements, a camera only Tesla has zero chance of ever being fully autonomous.

I still ask the question of why do we need this? If you sit in the driver’s seat you need to drive the car. If you want to be a passenger, carpool.

I believe Torch suggested a Purple light on the car to signify in self driving mode
