I never cared for him being called "The Forgotten Astronaut", he was all class & style with a but of wit just for fun. :)

FWIW, I despise 45. But how about we keep the current politics out of FA?

Yes he had an issue, he felt he was King (of something). His actions, and expecting preferential treatment at the gate, where a dead giveaway. I chose not to point that out originally, because they weren't germain to the mask situation.

Ultra low fare carriers have a place in the travel market. Companies that conduct themselves as FFT has and is still doing, do not. FFT lost all my business and that was before COVID.

I had to fly to CLE a week ago from MLB (family emergency). 1 flight (CRJ900) the fool next to me kept taking his mask off and coughing. If a crew member was close by, he put it back on. I'm not a troublemaker, but his arrogance was a health hazard. Had it not been a full flight I would have asked to be moved. I tried to get a FA's attention. Except for checking seat belts prior to push back, it seemed they would NOT look at passengers, they looked straight ahead and down toward the aisle, as if they didn't want to see anything. On a return flight (A319), a younger fella had a beard that kept the mask well off his face and he just let it fall down. I don't have the answer, but it was obvious the A/L was only doing what was minimally required to stay within the law.

I'm tired of ignoring the fringe out here that just can't stop spouting off where politics are concerned. How about we talk about airplanes,ATC comms etc. Leave the world's political stuff for other social media outlets.

IMO, the sheriff's video was great. Was that jacka$$ throwing things at the copter?? OK OK What's with all the negative comments about Florida? The only logical conclusion is, you guys are just jealous... I know because I was jealous of Floridians since 1980. As soon as I moved here, no more hate of Floridians rofl

My mom's best friend and her family lived in relative obscurity, or so they thought. She was related to a well-known person with a lot of money. The day that person passed, they received phone call after phone call from lawyers all over the world offering to represent them, so much for obscurity. My son was involved in an auto accident (not his fault). He was away at college so all his mail came to his home address. All the mail from lawyers became landfill. :) Too many lawyers with no morals, only big eyes for cash.

From 2010 to 2017, I was working on the hardware of a emerging developmental software-based electronics system. Anytime the software dev. folks made a change, they spent days "regression" testing the software. I bought a new motorcycle in 2014, the 1st year for an "in-dash" infotainment system. There were many silly little problems and every time a SW update was done, something else would go awry. After being assured by the SW Dev. folks the problems were all in the SW coding and lack of proper re-testing, I eventually called the manufacturer of the MC and then the radio manufacturer. I assume I became such a pest, eventually the radio manufacturer told me "The software is being developed by a third party company in India, we have no control over that" WTH? I thought about finding that company and contacting them then realized "Hell I can't get a simple problem solved when I contact an off-shore call center about anything". IMO, In The Long Run, all this "Outsourcing" regardl

Happy Birthday FA. I started using FA when I traveled for business - almost 14 years ago. :) And in all sincerity, Thanks for forcing me to finally get a Pi for ADSB.
