eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyup. Or we'll just wind up "paying" for it via imputed income. Either way, you're gonna see a W2 increase without mo money in your pocket. *My prediction only*

 

I'd fly those!

 

Quick question regarding health coverage for families.

I understand that there is a deductible for families on the gold plan.

I should be in class in Aug and was wondering, does the yearly deductible start over on Jan 1, or is it a rolling year deductible.

For example, if I spend 700 on med coverage(towards the deductible) prior to Dec 31, will I have to start over working towards my deductible beginning on Jan 1?

Just trying to figure out if it pays to go to non-essential doctor appts prior to Jan 1, 2015.

 

Well, let's mess with some heads and maybe the end result is you and I are flying a C-130... no wait... LM-100J.

I heard on guard the other night United Airlines is evidently looking into purchasing a civil version of the C-130. The LM-100J offers them significant margin improvements over current, boring, jet liners.

The C-130s allow them to do remote loading. People will be loaded onto pods that are then trucked to an awaiting airplane. Significantly improving the speed of boarding and reducing costs of gates. You can now board people away from the main airline terminals.

The pods will allow United to make a passenger airplane into a cargo airplane when margin opportunities present themselves. Such as SEA-Juno. They will also be able to own Texas to Mexico out of Houston.

The airplanes don't need to be pressurized, as they will cruise at 1000'. Saves significant maintenance.

They are built for unimproved short fields, such as Chicago Midway, Houston Hobby, Newark runway 29, LaGuardia, Boston and Chicago Meigs (does not require repaving).



These will be made out of Marietta GA. Where there is a triangle of doom. Once you go to Marietta, you never leave. Beware of the big chicken folks. It also cruises at 355 kts. What is not to love people?

Yep, hope the person who designed the new checklist isn't in charge of anything else ah.............important. Maybe it's same guy in charge of the electronic flight kit?

 

Looks like Emirates is expanding A380 service to San Francisco and Houston.

 

They have pressurized C-130s?

 

The pond scum invade Texas..... Is Smisek up to the task of fighting them?

 

My old neighborhood had one labeled "IthurtswhenIP." Always got me laughing.
