But I hate to admit it, when your car guy says get rid of this thing (Honda Odyssey), you find yourself at the dealership where you can get $5K-$10K off without asking. New is cheaper than used almost.
Actually, that parody reminded me of something you would come up with. The thought crossed my mind: "Is FTB writing for Leno now?"

I was studying for MD-88 recurrent. At some point it'd be fun to put all the "decision trees" from management to flight ops to maintenance to DALPA together into one.

I assume RA wants a better than "industry standard" airline. If he's only willing to pay "industry standard" wages (whatever those are), why should he expect to get better than industry standard performance? Average pay = average airline. Nothing more.
Maybe he's thinking "industry standard" pilots wouldn't be running my planes into one another quite so often.

I thought that decision tree looked a little like the electrical system. If I squint, I can see where you changed "DC Transfer Bus" into "BOTH SAY YES".

Well you can tell the Mrs, that your co-worker think for a comedic genius. See how she takes that.

I bet you get one of these.

Politicians got involved so like everything else taxpayers ended up paying bureaucrats a lot of money to spend millions to formulate a big pile of dung.
