    Will woke hiring in aviation lead to disaster?

    so, the fact that I had a female CFII for my ASEL rating should cause me concern?

    Is your airplane kept in a hangar?

    ah, yes... I used a cabin cover to try to protect the interior from the sun. Wouldn't do diddly for hail, but in the Boston Mass area there isn't much hail. I haven't seen hail big enough to cause damage in my 60+ years here.

    Is your airplane kept in a hangar?

    In 2006, when T hangars at KBED went from $505/month to $610/month, I bailed and went back to a tie-down. Unheated hangar. Electric bifold door.

    NOTAM system down

    no. Who would have been able to do anything about the NOTAM infrastructure mess? Of course, the clown's administration hasn't shown any ability to nominate capable people... so that didn't help.

    Ex-UK Military Pilots Paid to Help PRC Military

    One can imagine that the PRC wouldn't fully trust them. Wouldn't it be obvious they could be feeding the PRC not-quite-correct information and providing intel back to the UK?

    Single pilot commercial jets?

    something to consider: with one pilot crew, if the pilot wants to committ suicide, then there is no hope of preventing her from doing so. Of course, we haven't heard of many cases where an attempted suicide was thwarted by the other pilot.

    Single pilot commercial jets?

    I wonder how many would only fly single pilot airline if they were in the pilot seat (and not the copilot seat)

    Pilots have lower emotional IQ

    "There is a dearth of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) research within an aviation context." LOL If that was the only "problem" in this world...

    Started teaching in a Cherokee 140 today.

    any speed mods on the 140? (I know, I know, speed and cherokee 140 are rarely used in the same sentence...)

    Will an airplane engine failure on takeoff cause an aerodynamic stall?

    I'm not an RF guy, but I figure the answer is yes... just not very efficient antennas.

    United with record profits

    sort of like the (alledged) old Soviet saying, which is something like "as long as they pretend to pay us, we'll pretend to work"
