Pilot Zone / Re: Passengers passing out from heat in Vegas
« on: July 18, 2023, 04:53:31 PM »
I didn't see where it was a 757.

APU can easily run the packs, and I believe all of the gates at LAS have external air condition ducting as well.

I might have read the 757 part in the comments. But I agree, there were probably several ways to cool down that airplane. IMNSHO the captain should not have signed for it, and allowed pax to board without having some sort of AC running. I didn't read anything about other planes having this issue.

Pilot Zone / Passengers passing out from heat in Vegas

Granted, I don't fly a 757. Or any big iron for that matter. But, I'm thinking the captain that allowed passengers to board with 110 degree heat outside, and no air conditioning inside the tube should be staked out in the desert.

Am I missing something?

Spin Zone / Re: SCOTUS Kills Affirmative Action……

Unfortunately, I don't think they went far enough and just only mentioned colleges. (Note: I did not look at this more than doing a general scan of a news article.)

IMNSHO I think Affirmative Action is simply legislated racism/feminism.

It seems that mothers everywhere think that their kids all play the piano. I've seen this in several different occupations (paid or otherwise) since the 70s.

Pilot Zone / Recent Rampart Updates???
« on: June 03, 2023, 10:08:25 AM »
A friend of mine has a son that was recently hired by Rampart Aviation. In the past they've had less than a stellar reputation. However, my friend says that since their accident (left gear on the ground after a hard landing and FO went out the back) they've been making a lot of positive changes.

I'm curious if anyone on here has any recent first hand information about the status of them. Good? Bad? Stay away?

Spin Zone / Re: SCOTUS reigns in the EPA 9-0
« on: May 29, 2023, 11:08:38 AM »
When you have a 9-0 decision in the Supreme Court, that pretty much means the law was shit no matter how you look at it. And the odds of overturning it is pretty much nil.

I used to be a Washington Bullets fan. The Bullets no longer exist so I'm no longer a fan.

Same goes to the Washington Redskins. They no longer exist either.

I was never an Indians fan, but same goes. That team is forever lost in history now.

Oh, and I finally ditched watching professional sports after most of them supported disrespecting the National Anthem, the Flag and the country that allowed them to be overpaid brats.

If you want to piss someone off, make a small cash donation in their name, with their address.

If they're a liberal, send the donation to Trump.

If they're conservative, send the donation to Biden.

I kinda wish they had put Aunt Bea in the swim suit issue back in the day.

Can't argue that, but fortunately, I've never had to stand in a TSA line more than 30 minutes or so.

In this case I was referring to the rabbit hole of doing those infernal jigsaw puzzles!!

Better send that $35 in right now!!


As a former RNC fundraiser, I know for a fact that we wouldn't care about some paper card. We would just hound you with endless phone calls until you sent in a check. Oh, and you'd get a magazine called "First Monday" for you troubles.

Really? Don't remember that. I fall on my head too much so forget stuff.

Welcome back!

August 2019 was a long time ago. (Found a private message notification from when we chatted, but it didn't have the user name.)
