Then, I get a message from Icrew saying I'm about to go out of landing currency. At which point I realize that maybe I should count them on my computer! But I forget.

Why do you have the same laptops that are issued to IT?

Ok Satch,

If he said it, that's fine. Either way, things are not as bad as they could be. 3 months ago everyone was panicked over the Middle East and fuel prices. Yet, today we have a bid where it seems that more people moved up than moved down. It also seems that a lot of the folks that went down had some fairly good choices to make. I think the uncreased utilization of the 330's helped things immensely. Things will get better soon, so keep your head up.

More evidence the LGA/DCA slot swap went through and who got some of the divested slots:

When the police showed up they said they could overhear the A380 screaming at the building in a scene reminiscent of Horton hears domestic violence and fails to call 911 with Horton played by a nearby 747 and the building is the neighbors wife:






Do we have an award for inappropriate and tacky post of the day?

Below v1 ... I'll stick my neck out and say, ABORT! Controllers only cancel a takeoff clearance when there is an immediate threat to safety. What justification is there to use emergency authority to continue?

If there's a runway incursion, or I've lined up on a runway with a bulldozer at mid field, or pilot just made a pirep of 40 knots loss of airspeed off the parallel runway, there's probably some very good reason for Tower to cancel the clearance.

From the right seat ... it is the Captain's jet obviously.
