Yes, but at the end of the day there are not enough jobs at Delta, American, United, and others to take everyone at Spirit. There are plenty of regional airline pilots who want those jobs too, along with new pilots/ ex-military coming into the commercial field. At some point you have to start to work at improving the…

Airlines don’t really care if your previous job was at an ultra low cost carrier or not, they look at your individual merits. Many of Spirits pilots are not flying for Spirit because the others didn’t want them, but rather at the time they were looking for a job Spirit was the only ones hiring as the majors were…

Negligent drivers killed 40,000 people in the US last year, and a high percentage of them were not charged with anything. Maybe we should talk to their union. Oh, wait...

I can’t believe the president of ESPN would make a joke about Chris Berman’s weight at a time like this.

Your irrationality is what keeps prices on cars like this low. We appreciate it.

You did see that the 87 year was the one rear ended? You did read the article right? The 67 year old rear ended the 87 year old.

Hey now, my 94-year-old grandpa can do a whole bunch of jumps off hills on an ATV.

This is fucking horrible.

I sure wouldn’t want a camera pointed at me all day while I’m doing my job. I have balls to scratch and noses to pick.

Or, alternately, you could do a little internet research and find the 9-5 was made in fairly large numbers virtually unchanged from the 1999-2009 model years, a good portion of it was bog-standard GM parts, and those that weren’t are still readily available, and they’re cheap enough that you could buy a whole other…

Or, more logically, I would take it to a mechanic and have them put it on a lift an check it.

Don’t even need a camera to see if he was using the phone. The cellphone service provider has metadata on phone use.

Actually, if Amtrak had implemented Positive Train Control a year earlier, it wouldn’t have happened. It should have been implemented decades ago.

Blood testing was done on the driver, which came back clean. He surrendered his phone and it was shown he hadn’t been using it before the crash.

Nothing but agreement here from me. And you’ve hit on another item - you add so many hours to your already long days with that commute. You finally get home and you have the same housework and honeydo’s that everyone who has a short commute has as well - in your case with the huge yard probably more. So you don’t…

I can say as someone who has a five minute commute and makes decent money, I would need north of $185k/yr to put up with an hour commute each way.

The worst is/are Oak catkins that fall in the spring. One or two of those fuckers always end up under one or both of my wiper blades and I’m stuck for all of my commute with a couple of maddening streaks with every pass of the blades.

I’m really disappointed to learn you can’t change your own wiper blades. It’s a 30 second job, and fresh blades are $10 for the pair at Costco. Man up, Drew.

This has happened to a degree where I used to work, they had unlimited rollover, and changed it to 100 hours to roll over max. So everyone submitted the time off (some people’s last day of the year was the week before thanksgiving, some people did not work Fridays for the last 4 months of the year).. once all of that…

You don’t owe your company shit. Take your time off. If they can’t find someone to fill your role while you’re gone that’s entirely their problem. If they threaten to fire you for taking the time off then you shouldn’t want to work for them anyway as they apparently do not respect you or your personal life.
