The definition relies on the mutual understanding of all parties. If you all agree that showing up in your underwear. hung over and smelling like a urinal is acceptable, then as lo…

The beauty of it, as far as the FAA goes, lies in the fact the public is not involved in the safety standards. There is plenty of window dressing in what the travel industry does. …

FWIW. I never met someone, who worked for the FAA, who couldn't end my career because they were having a bad day. Pilots feel about FAA officials the way they feel about doctors. T…

There is no supporting evidence. That is part of the problem. The FAA has enough on their hands trying to get the air traffic control system into the latter half of the twentieth c…

GPS approaches are allowed, FWIW. I'm also not sure the localiser signal was involved since I don't think the crew would have gone to the back to get the passenger to mess around w…

I flew for the airlines. The problem is not your everyday takeoff and landing. The problem arises when the weather deteriorates to near zero visibility and the crew is relying on i…

When you're in your twenties, you could eat styrofoam and still function appropriately. I like to believe I can still do what I used to do in my twenties...just can't do it as ofte…

It all depends on what your plan for the money is and when you might need it. Don't play with your living expenses. Don't play with your beer money. Assume that what you play with …

Thank you. I guess it all comes down to a looping sequence. Iterate through the pain as it were.

Wow. Great essay. Thanks. Too late about the C++ Java thing though...

Thank you kindly.

I'm nothing if not bull headed. Thank you.

Thank you. Helps indeed. The breakdown is what I have been looking for. Part of my problem is I was so shell shocked from losing my job, I felt I had to know all the languages and …

Great link. Thanks.

C++ and Java is where I started, because I didn't know any better. I then pursued C++ because it is what they use in the master's program to which I was accepted. Thanks for the li…

Too late. Already went through data structures in C++. It's what I am most comfortable with right now, which is not saying much. I don't understand what actually happens at the ker…

Very kind. Thank you.

I now have a goal. Thank you. ...Now what?

It is a personal record. Very much on the honor system. It is used during interviews as a culling criterion. Must meet certain minimum hours and so on. Would you care to help me bu…

I have an account but just have no idea what I am doing. I am taking a Linux class right now to try and figure it all out.

I am doing just that. The learning curve is steep-I am so far behind. I am not discouraged though, just hungry to learn. Thanks.

I love it when a plan comes together. Thank you.

Thank you.
