Off topic:

I have a question for you Internet gurus. It concerns privacy. The world wide web seems to be getting smarter by the day. Uncomfortably so.

I was just watching a bunch of guitar solo videos on YouTube. (Joe Satriani is a God)

A few seconds later when I log on to this site I get ads for guitar lessons. That can't be a coincidence.
How does APC know what I've been watching on YouTube? Does every website that I visit see from my history every other website that I've ever visited?
I thought that cookies were only used by the website that puts them on your computer. I know that my Internet service provider obviously knows every site I visit and I don't really care, but can every website see where I've been?
When I log onto DeltaNet can they see where I've been? I may not want my employer to know that I recently searched for left handed lesbians mud wrestling on spring break.

Is there a way to stop all these people from tracking me?

 

Scheduling's number in my phone is under the contact "Master Airscrew"

 

There was much talk about this about a month ago, we all noticed we were getting adds for Asian Escort Services after viewing the underboobs! One of the Mods. said APC does indeed run some type of tracking software that is supposed to tailor your adds to where you were last...

Be careful what you surf for, your wife might find it!

 

Has anyone had issues/trouble downloading or viewing their 2012 tax info? I can get all the way to save or view document then all I get is a blank screen...does that mean I worked for free last year?

 

Ah, you've got me curious. I never look up anything guitar related so let me do a youtube: "how to play the guitar" and we'll see how long it takes til it shows up as an ad.

Okay. Done. Let's see how it goes. In the meanwhile 80ktsclamp gives us some guitar lessons...



wait, doesn't 80 play the bass guitar?

 

Targeted Advertising...

You could try this, mixed results though https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ing-cookie-op/

 

I think their goal is to gouge wherever they can and push the margins as high as they can until someone blinks. And nobody is blinking. They're all just matching. And if someone blinks, yeah here comes the 757 to flood the market with seats until the route is a money loser. Sure SWA isn't going to push our buttons on AUS-ATL knowing we could sour the route.

That's just imho. I do think freight matters though. I did JFK-Gatwick in a 752 in 08 and they mentioned we'd be ceasing service soon because there wasn't any cargo. I don't know if cargo was really the reason but I'm sure if there had been cargo we wouldn't have been in a 752. I mean big is better for you and I but they're not going big until they can justify it and they just can't really justify more than 34 744/777s. BA can justify 107 of them.

But it's the CAL way of doing things that we bought. What size jet do you need? Okay, we'll go two sizes smaller. Drives us all nuts but if you want on you'll pay and it's taken a decade but i think they're there. And between HVCs having their tickets bought for them and corporate contracts, I bet they're not worried about the one time guy running over to another airline. They're probably too inconsistent or rare to cater to anyways.

I do see a lot of routes where they are charging $1000/rt on a CR2 and getting away with it. Which is why I think they want the CRJ-900 so very badly because now they can add a few more seats, but not too many, and cater to the HVC paying that much. It's why I question the notion that we won dropping from 600+ RJs to 450. I wouldn't be surprised if the company would drop it to 300, if all 300 were CRJ-900s. And what about all of those other routes? Less frequency or cut them out completely if all they can support is a CR2. I think they were clear, we do not want CR2s anymore, we want CR9s. I think this modus operandi is why.

That's my hunch. Nothing more.

It's not how we're going to do it at Spacklair. Once I get my President position reinstated.

 

 

I am getting "learn how to handle B fund termination" ad for AA pilots followed by learn how to fix an outboard motor. New career I guess.

Hope this targeted advertising doesn't have a crystal ball.

 

What do I do with this one?
