Can we have a "It's not all bad news" thread?
10+ years ago when I lived in the NE and used to travel a lot for work I had a 5 1/2hour driving radius before I'd succumb to having to fly. Even without COVID concerns, that might be closer to your 12 hour radius now...

The conversations amongst producers must have been hilarious.
"Uh guys we're filming a movie about slavery in a state that wants slavery back. *sigh* Dammit! Pull the trucks out I guess. "
"Uh guys we're filming a movie about slavery in a state that wants slavery back. *sigh* Dammit! Pull the trucks out I guess. "
the irony is certainly not lost on me.
note: production had not yet started on the movie.
The cynical (realistic) part of me is very well aware that they were happy to take production there because of specific film industry tax evasion policies GA has had in place for years....and only decided to pull out once some other industries started making noise.
Yeah they were all for avoiding civil responsibility when it was going to benefit them in secret. But with a title like "emancipation" you really can't lurk in the shadows in GA right now
$70k base pay is still a good idea.
It's funny how free market capitalism cheerleaders like fauxnewz get all uppity about a private company making their own decisions, even tried to cancel™ him.
I like this:
France moves to ban short-haul domestic flights
MPs vote to stop flights where the journey could be made by train in under 2.5 hours.www.bbc.com
Supposedly this only affects 5 current flight routes in France.
Totally agree. And then I went to Japan.
:Mind blown:
Our Essential Air System is so out of control. We basically subsidize airlines and all the resulting jobs. Places that are 2 hours or less from major hubs by multiple roads have EAS. I can understand if say it's EMS helicopters, but regional jets and all that stuff in places where it's easier to drive to the freaking hubs. Of course every congress district with EAS will fight to preserve it forever for "jerbs"...
Like Palm Springs International ? LOL
It is ridiculous in a great many cases, looking at you PUB. That said, I've also been to a large number of podunk airports that are well, probably essential for thier respective communities. I agree that perhaps the criteria ought to be tightened on what cities meet the definition.

Arguably, Palm Springs and the valley area are big enough to warrant its own airport. One of our oldest maintenance facilities is there. Those flights are routinely full. Just today, we operated 24 flights there. That does not include other carriers, of which there are several.
I'm talking about places with 1, maybe 2 flights a day, that have maybe a handful of people. Last time I went to pueblo to fix an airplane, all of one person was waiting in the terminal.
Barstow.
I remember when Hughes Air West had 2 flights a day into and out of Arcata Airport in a DC9 No effing room for error. They were chirping the tires making the left at the last taxiway upon landing and on take off they ran the engines up to where the brakes wouldn't hold Right after rotation you went
over a 100" high sea cliff.
well the topo shows the runway at 200' and sea level is the ocean on the left, you figure it out.
Yeah, 6000' is tight as shit for those kind of planes. Alaska Airlines does that kind of stuff up here in Kotzebue, Nome, Kodiak and a few others, but it takes special training and qualification and they really have to keep on top of it. Back in the day, the airlines relied more on "hope" as method to success.
Let us revel in some good news, shall we?

Instead of having racist imagery or neo-Nazi screeds, the website for a budding neo-Nazi collective now just relentlessly ridicules the racists.

I'd say this is worthy of a "Are We Witnessing The Death of The American Education System" thread, but not much of point in examining the 19th century.
At this point , having been awake since 3 am and having worked a 11 hour shift I really don't give a fuck about mind games
It's not a mind game, you typed one hundred inches.
