I have a MACbook and I simply went to best buy and picked up Parallels which allows you to run Windows side by side on your MAC operating system. For the Windows operating system, I went to a computer store and bought a "new build" copy of Windows 7. Installation for both was a piece of cake and all the training CDs worked perfectly. Total cost about $210 for both.

Or just buy a new Windows 7 laptop for $350.

How do you Apple heads afford that stuff?

TYG;
The Systems CD's are a must do. Study that, the LOD and related VOL 2 sections, VOL 1 procedures, limitations, and the bold face items. There is a great study guide on the library section of the DALPA forum. (Might be a link to it) He does a great job updating it.

Being particularly sensitive to arousal after not being home frequently, or long enough, to reward Bunny Lebowski for her patience, the TSA probably isn't ready for what's coming their way.

Just sayin'

[QUOTE=Splash





[B]Pilots with valid IDs have tried to carry guns trough screening. Pilots with valid IDs and credentials have left their authorized guns in public areas, INSIDE screening. I think those lapses in professionalism and attention to security have helped make us more suspect than we think we should be.[/B]



Splash,

I realize that Pilots have inadvertently taking weapons through security. I agree that this a lapse in professionalism and probably mostly just plain inattention, but really not much more. If these Pilots actually had any ill-intent they would not need to take a weapon through security. Furthermore if they actually had any ill-intent they would probably not try to take their weapon through a metal detector.

I realize that people may pretend to be a pilot to bypass security - this is why we need a foolproof method of identifying actual pilots. We need to focus on identifying people vice objects.

That would be sweet. Has it got the spot?

May I also suggest:

Nothing like a Magnum 440 for a hoon sled.

Does Delta sell its old F-250s? I'd like a flat white F-250 with basic interior with major dents in the side from neglect and a missing tailgate.

And a baggage tug and suspension-less cart. I'll drive it around my neighborhood.
