You’re good for 99 changes. Most pilots can remember four to five digits for frequency changes so two should be a piece of cake.

Back in the day we had "nuclear code keys" that changed digits every 6 seconds or so. Better type fast...

Add in the year with it and it’ll be unlimited through a career (1901, 1902 or reversed order). Ironically, it’s made my password that much more predictable.

You can use old passwords, you just have to wait two or three cycles before it will accept an old one again. Rinse and repeat.

GT interns aren't dummies. I know one that was 4.0 in high school and at Tech in Aero E. Too smart to stay at Delta. So smart he would get the company seats at Braves games while I couldn't sniff one.

I remember ATILA. It became self-aware and they couldn't turn off the ACARS messages. For 12 months we were told to just ignore them.

Scary.

Once the dot matrix printers become self-aware...that’s pretty much the end
