You can blame The League for that one. Very funny show.

If you have to tip to get someone to provide a service your already paying for then that is a bribe.

I've rewatched the first season twice. It is incredibly fun and I'm super stoked there is gonna be a second season. They managed to get all the nostalgia of the early 2000s by just making the world end then, so cds and pop culture are all permanently stuck. I'm not sure if that shtick will last several seasons but man did that first one feel like it was made for me.

So the Alaska is a e175 which is about 70 people vs the United which is about 170 people. It looks close because of the angle and some camera tricks. Landing on parallel runways happens all the time.

They are called Precission radar monitoring approaches and they start doing them when things get super congested. Requires us to listen to another radio so atc can tell us to break-out if someone crosses the no go zone in between the runways.

My redwing iron rangers have been working for 10 years with no problems.

3 mil so I can retire. Working toward it and I will achieve it eventually. A few decades earlier would change everything though.

I guess it's easier when your're an older white dude, you can just kind of melt into the background and stay off people's radars. It's probably way harder when your trans.

Airline pilot here, you'd be surprised how often I'm at max takeoff weight. Especially during the summer. This looks like you'd cram like 40 more pax on board which would for sure cause all sorts of weight issues. The newest configurations have added about ten seats and that's already pushing it, but I'd imagine they'd want to try this on the short haul routes as you can't take the same fuel when dealing with high loads.

You have to understand that everything in aviation is stretched to it's theoretical max already. Fuel savings of 3% is airline dominance. Overselling flights for load factors gaining an extra 2 percent? Industry standard. Building schedules for crews down to the minute so they are technically illegal if something causes a delay? Worth it. But you can get a ticket to fly a thousand miles for 80 bucks on a low cost carrier, so the rest have to squeeze too. If they haven't implemented something like this, there is a glaring flaw logistically or legally.
