Always check the fine print as well... many times it’s “controllable completion factor”. Lots of ways you could define what is/isn’t controllable.

As with anything, it's all about the definitions.

NSFW.

Nothing but a house of cards filled with smoke and mirrors. Always has been.

The only thing that surprises me is that people are surprised to hear stories like this.
I’m surprised to hear it and I am still not sure if I believe it.

And end those asinine fake noise abatement procedures. The vast majority of the time they make zero difference. Its pre concieved nonsense from the straight pipe turbojet days where windows would break and fillings would fall out. Yet we act like stage 3+ turbofans thousands of feet above are somehow a noise issue when the actual decibels is an eighth of the school bus driving down the street or a weed wacker 12 doors down.

Time for some straight up carbon shaming. #privlidge

I often wonder why care so much about noise abatement in places like SNY and SFO, but never at EWR at DTW. Hmmm.

A silencer is only required if you shoot a mime.
