No you’re right - graduates of certain training programs get slightly lower minimum time requirements allowed due to the more structured nature of the training.

1500 hours to start ever since the Buffalo crash. So yeah - flight instruct, pipeline patrol, and banner towing are the big three time builders that don’t involve paying for it all yourself - and there’s not a lot of money in any of them.

Virtually everything on a modern flightdeck is color coded, the reason being the potential need to be able to look at numerous sources and types of information and make quick, correct decisions.

Also you don’t really get to just dump millions of dollars onto the stock market out of nowhere. He probably had to jump through a ton of hoops.

Well, you see, a guy who was self taught made it to space and let a bag of M&Ms float around. Obviously a huge problem all around. 

Second gear: That’s not a vote of no confidence, that’s a vote of asset diversification and cashing in big time.
For all we know, the guy left because realized “to hell with it, I’m worth hundreds of millions of dollars, my boss is a tool, and don’t need to work for him to live like a king forever”

James Watt approves this joke.

Precisely, I guess you could maybe call it a gamble, but it would be more accurate to call it a plan/consequence of many other unrelated pieces of policy in China, and how the Chinese government works. They didn’t plan on becoming the world’s number 1 battery component refining country, they just have, by design, lax…

Welcome to the world of communism - Where the central government gets to decide which industries are best suited to its people, and the locals don’t much of get a say in it. For better or worse, the fact that most countries actually have to listen to their people is in no small part what drives up the cost of industry.

If Elon just wanted to be rich, you wouldn’t know his name. 

I’m not in the car industry. I was just giving an example. Subcontractors in my field should be pulling in 15 to 20 percent for overhead and profit to stay healthy. This guy will be lucky to break even on this project now and will certainly raise prices on the next one.
