Cerberus Capital (not a hedge fund, but close, private equity group). They are mentioned in the article. Cerberus has been trying to sell the Remington brand group for nearly 6 years.

You sure about that ignorance part? -

“The A arms the wheels are mounted to are attached in a way that, when they hit a rock or whoop, they are pushed up and back instead of up and out laterally.”

That’s not how the efficiency calcs work, it goes the other way. The meshed gear transmission is 15-20% more efficient than their own equivalent belt-drive CVT, that does not mean the transmission is 115-120% efficient.

It’s the 2nd part of your comment. Lack of follow through leads to barrel stops, which leads to missing behind. The target is moving, you should be moving with it. Plus, in bird hunting, which the other shotgun sports are supposed to emulate, following through means that when you miss, you’re still at speed with your…

Sumo riders are usually a mix of folks that start on dirt and those that start on the street, you get a big mix of riding styles, so a lot of riders will still ride hips back/knee out (or some hybrid of the two styles), and they can usually get a knee down fairly easily.

Recently, the bags can go on any airplane, just so long as you do too. For example, a standby passenger's bag will not be put on a plane until they get a seat, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same plane.

The pilots will also do this as a kindness to the FAs, who don't start getting paid until the doors are closed and the beacon is on. It also means the gate agents don't take the delay, so they are more than happy to help.

Yup, it's totally the DOT using funny words and fuzzy numbers to bring down Southwest.

Why does a white truck on a white background (which is what the concrete tarmacs look like from the air) become more hazardous than a green truck on a white background?

I do have to inject a little criticism - At one point you say "My inside source tells me..." as if this were privileged information.

I posted this comment yesterday to add to a similar article, and I feel it could add some understanding with this crowd too, with regard to ever expanding checked bag fees -

On a page with an absolutely brilliant article, and dozens of well thought out and funny comments, this made me laugh the most, and I have no idea why. Bravo.

"and was steered using foot pedals (the rudder?)"

Can you explain this a little further for someone who doesn't understand supersonic dynamics at all? Specifically, why would the rho value increase as v decreases; for max Q to be greater at M 1.0 vs. M 1.4, that would require a 40+% drop in air density as the speed increases, why would this occur?

It was terrible "sarcasm".

Tower would have had a good view of the incident, and they know there is nothing they can do to help with an engine loss that low and slow. They wouldn't reach out unless directly asked for assistance by the pilot, their priority would be to make sure that all other traffic is safe. All the dispatching of first…

The question that was asked at 21:40 was "What's, uh, what's on fire?"
