Remember folks, if you've chosen in your reporting to identify the unconfirmed gender of the pilot flying at the time of an accident you have to do it for every incident and accident going forward. That's the rules. That's equality.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Fabulous old #illustration. Full-page ad, black-and-wide, no body text. Artist's initials illegible, lower right. (California Journal of Development, September 1928) #avgeeks

The effect this will have on #aviation will be catastrophic. It's already clear that whoever is doing the tear outs on gov't websites is NOT being gentle & things are unintentionally breaking. There is a reason systems take time to change. Where is the laid out project plan? This work need approval!

Hello all cable news: do not broadcast the President of the United States talking about air traffic control. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Hi @swapnakrishna.com - really interesting update on the starliner crew. This to me sounds like an emerging human rights issue; they have marooned them there, limiting their right to work in favorable conditions and adequate well-being. Could be setting a precedent for future maroonees.

I have a big ask from our local partner shelter. Beautiful, sweet blind cat Helen has had three approved adopters, but when the time comes to take her home, none of them have showed up. Can we find Helen a loving home at last? She’s been there since she was a baby! www.petfinder.com/cat/helen-71...
