Saucy airline pilot with an abnormal medieval history obsession and sailing addiction. Working on my attitude problem. Sit down back there. EMB145 * A220 * B737 * B757 * B767
“Wacky” Marjorie as the best moniker they could come up with? Really?

I’ve been a commercial airline pilot for over 20 years now. And I have never been so gutted by an aviation disaster as I am tonight by the UPS tragedy. Not just the pilots, but for the mx crew that signed off on that left engine this afternoon before they departed. All of you are in my thoughts. 💙

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

This year’s flu strain is extremely contagious. Just talking to another crewmember on the phone can lead to sick calls.
I'm not keen to fully swear off any airline, but Avelo's calculation here that the deportation flights will backfill lost scheduled service is an interesting one.
Definitely reduces the odds I'll be booking anytime soon.
Perhaps FAs or pilots will be sick more often than usual.

This kindle unlimited thing really is a mixed bag. But if we aren’t allowed to meow on guard anymore, this might fill the need.

George Santos where were you
France's Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, called the heist "a major, highly organized operation" that lasted just seven minutes. Authorities were still drawing up the value of the stolen items.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈
