Ed's not a crank, but you need to pay close attention to the topic of his proclamations to separate the wheat from the chaff. He's right about some things -- off the top of my head…

$13800 transferable membership and $220/mo.

It's certainly possible to maintain GA aircraft to a high standard and not break the bank. For example, a flying club I'm in has Cessna 172s for $116/hr wet with no-compromises mai…

MS engineer with 45 years industry experience begs to disagree.

The Levi's from the online store last a lot longer than the department store ones.

I've been very explicit with my manager about not wanting to be promoted. There's nothing wrong with saying "this is enough." Also--your decision is a "for now" decision, not a "fo…
