Should help me live longer.
Naw John - that's too much work, just select the "want to live longer" bid preference on your PBS drop down menu.

You're right, thanks for the PBS ninja pro-tip. So easy, a caveman can do it.

The software will probably kick the other bid out/"does not compute style" with all the narrow criteria.

I agree. However the article says it doesn't.

Actually if you go by what that article says. The majority of first world is going to die by the end of next week.

None of it is true.

I highly suggest that pilots senior to me enjoy the medical benefits of sitting still.

BTW, ain't nothing to sit in the cockpit with your bunda in the seat for 10-12 hours on a domesticated jet on a typical day. I sat a lot less on the 767.

If you want to avoid CAD, don't eat carbs. Then you can sit for however long you please.

True but if you read between the lines the article on the "study" is missing tons of important and key statistical data. It's a puff piece and I'm sure goes along with selling some new fad exercise equipment/program/diet program.
