For reference, last week's was a new record (at least for during the shutdown)
39 facilities with staffing triggers
No surprise, as it was Halloween

In what is now the LONGEST shutdown in history, myself, along with controllers across the US, have been volunteering to make the public more aware of ATC'ers and our struggles
If you see folks with yellow shirts at the airport, come talk to us, ask us questions, take a pamphlet, spread the word ♥️

Right now, the US has easily the most staffing triggers I have ever seen in one plan
A whopping 39 separate facilities and areas have a below minimum number of staff available to operate normally and initiatives are being put in to mitigate that and ensure continuous safe operations

Streamers proclaim "No Politics!" and "We're here for the planes!"
Frankly, you are not immune to the reality of a situation, and your participation is perpetuation.
I ask #avgeeks, spotters, #aviation enthusiasts, when you see these planes, turn your cameras away, cover your lenses. No free ads.

"Hi, can I get a box combo with extra sauce?"
"Sure, no slaw, extra sauce"
"No, I do want the slaw, I just want extra sauce"
"My apologies!"
"Thats ok! Can I also do bob toast?"
"Sure, no slaw, extra bob toast!"
"No, I do want the slaw, I just want the toast butter on both"
😭 GIVE ME THE SLAW

Out with the old, in with the new, but it sure is bittersweet 😔
Running out of hangars yet again, I think its time to shrink my collection, and on the chopping block, unfortunately, are two of my all time favorite aloha shirts
Maybe I'll replace them with larger sizes in the future 🤷🏽

If you're a big fan of menus or trains, you'll definitely wanna take a look at these Amtrak dining car menu's from the 90's!
(in the quoted post)
In love with the way they used to describe the food 😭
For comparison, here's a menu from my recent trip on the Coast Starlight just a few weeks ago;

HIIIII!!!
I heard we were doing the iconic greeting of @shepf.art, and I just couldn't help myself
I hope this slightly pared-back version still passes muster 🙏
I like to think that saying it put me in a better mood 😁

Interestingly, they got those delay vectors inside Cleveland
If I had to guess, Chicago called for miles-in-trail or metering?
OPS Plan from NAS Status states that there's a staffing trigger at ORD, and possible weather reroutes into Chicagoland, but that's about it

On a day like today, I'll reiterate what I said at work the day after the election
"Never forget that the majority of Americans want this
"The majority of Americans think you shouldn't exist and they want you dead"

Can't join protests in the homeland, but if I can at least call out a business
To my #avgeeks and #aviation friends, I need to tell y'all, don't buy from #planetags. They sell a product that encourages and supports fascism and discrimination
Shame on you guys

Every time a movie comes out with a screaming goat in it, the director should be blackballed, and a Hollywood exec needs to be drawn and quartered
It's been 14 fucking years since that was even relevant, let a lone funny
