Is it just me or does the SWA operation in ATL remind you of:



It's like, we just merged for this??

I want to congratulate the poor ATL 88 FO that is in bucket 3.

While many are at 0 credit thus far.

I've flown a 1/3rd of what I'd flown by this point normally (and that's saying sometin) and barring a SC trip I probably won't fly again. And I still think this 80 raw score is wrong even if I'm benefiting from it. I think for a domestic NB take the longest trip in category plus 2 days of SC. That should be bucket 1.

For an international category, no idea. Ya'll figure out your own problems and stop asking the NB people to fix your messes. It's like what NASA told the crew to Apollo 13, "you got yourself up there, you can get yourself down."

He had a good chute in the second video, but in the first video I think he threw out his drogue a little late. His risers were still twisted when he went into the shrubs.

(On second view, maybe he didn't mean to clip the rocks and the resulting tumble cost him too much KE. Thus squawking 7500 and pulling the chute when he did)

Still that is some awesome talent. I think he is actually BELOW Class G airspace for most of those videos.

Now back to grading Super's yoga thesis...

Hey everyone, be careful. Delta put glycol in the water supply in college park and now here comes SWA doing Lord knows what to our water at the airport:




Speaking of that, I want Taylor Swift concert tickets.

That sounds strangely familiar. I think our wives may be related.

If they get up at 5 they're all yours.
