It was a close call, but he had all the numbers. It was most disturbing to see those numbers knowing that The Man had sold us out. I will never forget or forgive them for this.

I throw the bs flag on the "no military operations have been impacted with this uprising" statement by the US military. |
KC-10 the Russians feel duped as they spent billions to get Kyrgyzstan to kick the us out. We retorted with more money and it is now the Manas Transit Center and no longer an "Air base." In effect the Russians paid billions for a name change. Yep, they are behind this.

Lots going on, and I would suspect that there will be positions that will not be filled on this AE as well as the next one.

Yes there were. Leaves options open.

FWIW = for what its worth
LOL = laugh out loud LMAO = laugh my tushy off FIST = .... I have no idea? Why would a Captain say "FIST ME!" ? BAHA = Bank Angle... HEADING! Angle? Heading Angle. I don't remember? LAVS = works on the 88 if you make it Lateral Mode, Altitudes, V/S, and Speed. But I think we're supposed to use MAAAAAP. :confused: AVE FAME (Avenue of Fame) = During lost comm then when it comes to your heading fly the last Assigned, last Vector, last told to Expect, last Filed, and for altitude fly the highest of the last Assigned, MEA or told to expect. [My instructor taught me that one 15 years ago when I got my instrument, go Ralph!] Silliest one of all but it works...8 for 84 = Eight items on the cruise check, 1-tune NAV, 2-bank angle, determine min speed, 3-check the N1 is between 76-84 (hence 84), 4-weather radar check, 5-CL power, 6-fuel (update and balance), 7-FMS update fuel and cost index and 8-make sure ACARS is working or pull out the engine log. Sorry if any of those are wrong. I'm lazy tonight and not double checking my post. BAHA = Bank angle, Heading and Altitude. You have alot to do for cruise..I was taught FRET Fuel, Radar, Engine report and Tune something:) |
Oh yeah..Pull the head and push the tail
Are we still talking about flying? I cant say that one without giggling like a school boy |

Actually, ACC is not a bad trip. I did a bunch when I was ER in NYC and enjoyed them. They're high time, radar and ILS, people are friendly, food and beer at the hotel are cheap, descent restaurants outside the hotel. It's really not bad.
DKR, on the other hand... 2nd that as well!!! Got the tour of the town from a buddy who is an Air attache down there. |

If your friends initials are MS, he is totally clueless, and his math is completely upside down. Your statement is grossly inaccurate as well. This myth has been perpetuated, but there's no truth to it. Trust me. The PBGC is not stupid, and they didn't want a $3B underfunded pension plan, even if they got some blood money to take it.
