Too sad, I enjoyed his books
On another semi related note: I had an NTSB bomb expert on my jumpseat many years ago and he debunked all the conspiracy theories on TWA 800. They had most of the pieces of the jet and it was an internal explosion beyond any doubt. He had pictures of the outward force of the blast and the general location of the origin, the fuel tank.
What I like about APC is the range of subjects brought up, I just wish Slow, Alpha, and PG would show back up to prevent the very one sided views that are dominating the landscape. I enjoyed both sides of the debate.

any more info on the -88 and the hail storm? I looked on the FAA's prelim incident website and see the -88 vs. the light pole incident but nothing about any hail storm. I figured it would be on there by now if it was that bad.

I also wish they were still here.

Those guys along with sailingfun and most of the other union people have pretty much gone radio silent after this most recent "last" displacement bid came out and the news about the latest scope waiver thing.

I will keep Slows , Alpha and Sailings seat warm... albeit out of seniority. I thought about a new avatar named Purple Drunk. But I'm afraid that'd cause confusion. So I thought 60ktsclamp. Still confusing I'm sure although correct. Or CarlSpanker but that'd make some think I'm one that would yell JOHN WAYNE but Ryan Seacrest!

Its tough. But even though I can't figure out a name, I have the right pic and I think for fun I can make their arguments for them.

That and the board started calling them out on their BS.

The truth is going to be one sided.

Haven't read any of his books, but will definitely pick one up soon.

USA obit
Flynn was working in sales and commercial real estate 20 years ago when he began reading voraciously in an effort to conquer his childhood dyslexia. In the process he fell in love with espionage novels and decided to try writing one himself.
His first book, Term Limits, was self-published in 1997 after Flynn received 60 rejection letters. After its immediate success, an agent signed him.

I thought that's what the Maddog guys looked like when the door was shut. Maybe it's the -9...

I'm trying to PD my entire July schedule. I have 3 trips to drop. If I enter them all under priority 1 is it an all or nothing drop or will each trip that is droppable be dropped? I don't want 1 undroppable trip to cause the other trips to not be dropped. Clear as mud?

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but I'd put them on the swap board as straight pick-ups as well. I'm always amazed at the crappy trips that guys will snatch up from the swap board.
