What you’re suggesting would violate regulations set by the SEC, which could lead to fines or other penalties. It also risks losing investor trust, potentially resulting in shareholder lawsuits. Lastly, such actions would violate Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), inviting legal consequences and regulatory sanctions.

Revenue is top line sales and a good metric to assess overall business demand.

Operating income shows how much profit a company makes from its main activities, minus day-to-day expenses like wages, fuel, and utilities, etc. It’s earnings before interest and taxes, which both can be highly variable.

Comparing revenue and operating income helps gauge a business’s demand for its services and the efficiency of its operations accurately.

So yes, I do know the difference. Thanks.

Before Covid, guys who retired could put out an FCIF that would allow them to say goodbye to the crew force. Some were mundane, others were quite entertaining.

Then they were "moved" to another page on PFC. Now, I wonder if they are even there anymore.

I miss those. Being a pilot is a weird career. You fly with a lot of people, but only become close friends with a few. When it is your turn to retire, likely you will never see any of these people ever again.

They say that men have fewer friends than women, but they need them just as much. Not being able to put out a "I'm retiring, here is my contact information" FCIF certainly does not help.

Like this guy, some civilian trained pilots resent the military guys. Perhaps it is because the military guys have a group of close friends they served with, mostly in combat in the last 20 years or so.

Hired in ‘92 and retiring an FO? Sounds like you are taking a truckload of bitterness with you out the door. That’s good for FedEx but bad for you. Hope you find some happiness in retirement, if you don’t, it won’t last very long.

Again, it’s because you make an extremely easy job a difficult one.

Not all of us. You are painting with a broad brush.

Yeah if you say so, champ.

PS the jumpseaters love it when you turn the override light on at 3 am.

Ever heard of a sleep mask?

Than jumpseat on someone else. It's my cockpit

Flying with the override lights on at night is poor form and bad for your night vision.

That's an acceptable excuse But sometimes it's a regional guy...

From GEN 1.7 Differences From ICAO Standards, Recommended Practices and Procedures.

"The United States issues the separate digits of a frequency, inserting the word “point” where the decimal point occurs."

That part of the AIM is actually a good read, especially the differences in Chapter 5.
