If someone gets put on a plan, their best advice is to do three things
1. financially/family prepare as if you're going to lose your job. Cut spending, pump up savings, etc. 2. job hunt like a mofo, in case the PiP doesn't work 3. (and this is important) - throw yourself into the PiP and do everything you can to lean in and improve. Even if you think it's worthless, unfair, even if you are sure you'll have another job in a week. Lean in and do your damndest to improve. this gives you the chance that you'll keep your existing job longer (perhaps indefinitely) and will give you massively better references in the future (two jobs from now)
or, if you're a conservative, sharing your thoughts on social media can be a quick invitation to lack of advancement and open scorn from your coworkers.
How is that any more or less authorative than the original statements they've made? It proves nothing. If they aren't hoaxing, they'd say the same thing as they would if they are hoaxing.
aviation isn't cheap, but it can be more reasonable than people think.
a good 172 can be had for under 50K
Fixed expenses are the worst (hangar, insurance, annual maintenance) so the best way is 3-4 way partnership, this dilutes the cost to purchase and the fixed monthly/annual costs pretty significantly.
yes, you both are knocking on the door of private aircraft being advantageous.
Figure in a slow plane: 10 minutes to your local, small airport 10 minutes to preflight and take off Travel at 105 kts direct (2.5 hours for the guy 250 miles from Dallas) 15 minutes to land, tie down
Call all of the above a little over 3 hours, but you got to choose when the 3 hours was (ie, if you're done early or a little later, no big deal, you're not meeting a scheduled flight)
No TSA, no "schedule", and no waiting for luggage. There are other disadvantages, but it's anice tool to have in addition to driving or taking an air carrier.
what were the results when you popped it in the debugger on the last update? Anything interesting? I'm trying to decide on a pass manager because i'm not going to let FB take over, and sites are idiotic with their various rules/etc.
could sites at least tell you what the password rules are ON THE LOGIN SCREEN so that I can determine which password I likely used?
I never understood the need to get, and pay for, door to door mail service 6 days a week. I'd happily keep door to door mail service (mailing a letter from my home to someone across the country for roughly 50 cents is pretty great).
As less and less comes through the mail, why not keep up the nice service, but make it like the garbage? They work 5-6 days a week, the post office could be open 6 days a week, but they only come to any given house once or twice a week. that way, you could have far less fuel, mail carriers, etc, you could still drop mail in a streetside mailbox or a post office if you wanted it to get picked up faster, but you'd only have your incoming mail dropped off 1-2 x per week.
this seems like a HUGE savings, that wouldn't really slow mail down that much, as the sorting and long distance trucking could keep going 6 days a week. You'd take out most of the cost, while taking out perhaps 10% of the utility.
you could also choose to have higher service for businesses (either every address in a certain district gets more frequent service) or that any address can choose to pay extra ($20/month?) for "daily" pickup/dropoff service and everyone else can choose to go to the 1-2x per week.
agreed, we have a community mailbox at the end of the street and it's super convenient. since it's locked up tight, we tend to get the mail every couple of days and don't worrya bout stopping mail if we're going to be out of town for the weekend.
they also have a secure "outgoing" mail slot so you don't have to leave outgoing mail on your porch/in your unsecured mailbox.
actually, the vast, vast majority of forced landings (and i'd wager a majority of crashes) people are left with very minor to no injuries (bruises, sprains)
seattle to the cascades is 15 minutes in the plane, that seems awful close. maybe in NC you aren't by mountains, but much of the west if you're not in them, you're close.
that's why i'm becoming a private pilot, so I can take my family and I and avoid all that.
the plane i use flys slower than a 737 (about 1/4 the speed), but there I park 8' from the airplane, we don't have to get there early, and there is no security line/etc.
there's also no worry about being late and missing my flight. the plane will leave when we're all there and i'm satisfied it's a safe trip to take.
Pilots will generally tell you that for about 500 miles or less, private flying will beat commercial door to door. That's a rule of thumb, but gives you an idea. It depends how far your home is from your departure airports and how far your destination is from a GA airport and the commercially served airport.
It would never be cheaper to fly myself, but it can be cheaper to fly my family of 4. So let's say I want to go to Kallspel, MT. I could get a $200 ticket, but would need one for each family member ($800) or I could fly my private plane (say 5 hours each way at $80/hr) = the same money, but not TSA theater, no getting there early, etc.
A private pilot is forbidden from taking more than pro rata share of flight costs from passengers.
so if you were my friend, and we wanted to go to vegas for the weekend, i could allow you to reimburse me up to 1/2 the price i paid to rent the plane (but I could NOT accept more than 1/2 from you).
What the FAA didn't like about Flytenow is that they were "holding out", ie, offering air service to people, which requires a part 121 or 135 license for the "airline". The pilot would need to then be a commercial pilot or airline transport pilot.
All of the above has zero to do with weather.
ANY pilot (Private, Commercial, or ATP) can fly in the clouds if they have an "Instrument Rating". Regardless of how many people and dogs they have on board. You are forbidden to fly in the clouds without an instrument rating.
We use skype at work, and that's what most do. They see you're available (not in a meeting) and then IM and "time to talk?" and you can then respond with options from there (sure, and hit the dial button) or else say you're on deadline, ask if it can wait, etc.
overall, i'd like it if nobody called me, ever.
i like to communicate, but hate talking ont he phone

3 is the hardest step, but really important
wait, you're being suckered! you said this "... and we already have a free trade agreement with China, although China still has too many tariffs."
your "trading partner" shouldn't have tariff's on your exports to them if you have free trade!!! you've bought it. do you tarrif Chinese imports?
sounds like most US trade deals. we take their stuff into the US free, but they tarrif and badger our guys so we can't export to them on equal terms
except in the US, where it has been our government's policy to create jobs in other countries and screw over our working class
or, if you're a conservative, sharing your thoughts on social media can be a quick invitation to lack of advancement and open scorn from your coworkers.
isn't "right think" wonderful!
"I'm not lying to you"?

..." you'll do pretty much anything to get food..."
except work? Seriously, every business has a help wanted sign out front. Getting food, for someone wiling to work in the US is not a problem.
housing is tougher, as are other "things" but food is so cheap that it's easy to find a job that'll feed you

the cable companies are granted monopolies by the government, so therefore they get to receive more regulation to go with that

and the west coast kind of is the mountains...

Umm. no.

I wonder how much dynamite you could use in a closed room without killing yourself trying to escape.
it would beat being forced to use these apps in collaboration with 40 strangers.
I guess the game just isn't for me
honest question... why is "nationalistic" a bad thing?
I want the politicians i'm elected to work int he best interests of MY country and OUR citizens.
They can have a secondary goal to "help all mankind", but their job is to help their own country.
I'd argue the Trump and Sanders are the least "bought and paid for" serious candidates we've seen in ages.
Doesn't mean you have to like them, but I think the two of them propbably are pretty free.
in addition, we are fighting against deflation, and some small price inflation, that came with domestic wage inflation, would be all good times.
are you sure about those numbers?
so 285M out of 330M total population are visually impaired? that seems, well, fake and wrong.
Looks like 7.4M blind people vs 39 million.
