Burn, baby, BUUURRNNNN! 9E's latest memo...

What, exactly, is exteranal air anyway? I am surprised this post went for 4 pages and none of you flamers caught this.

Um, duh, air conditioning! APU is good for providing electrical power and the 'alternate' source of 10th stage bleed air via the APU itself by opening up the load control valve and isolation valve.

Essentially, what they are saying is that if you have external AC power, and external air hooked up to the airplane, you don't need the APU on.

But kudos to those crews who run it anyway. Let our management deal with fines "in the millions." Give us a new contract, and I guarantee all pilots will go out of their way to help the company. As of right now, morale is low.

Looks like you missed the typo as well.

Just because he's black, doesn't make him it. Besides, he's half black. Still has half white in him./QUOTE]

he's not even half black, 50% white, just over 40% ARAB, and just under 10% black.

Wow...that one REALLY just flew over your head, didn't it? Genius...

OMG, LOL!!!!! I *totally* missed that typo! Usually I'm quick to find mistakes from our 'fine' management team. Jeez, today's been off for me.

Tax policy
Socialized health care policy
Foreign policy

And oh yea….. He has big ears.

Dumba$$.

You forgot total lack of experience. A few years in the Senate doesn't cut it.

And mccains experience has led him to basically want to continue all of the policies that have this country so fubar'd right now. Yeah, it looks like experience really helps! Not.

I guess you see things differently. I would argue that the country isn't "fubar'd" right now. Unemployment is low, interest rates are low, I don't see what the big deal is right now. Gas is high, but that is up for a variety of reasons, including "tree-hugging" liberals who somehow figure that buy NOT increasing the supply by drilling our own vast amount of oil will somehow make prices go down.....

We'll see how you feel in a couple months when the sh*t hits the fan at XJ. Inflation is at 25 year high. And all this drilling you speak of, won't come online and be beneficial until 2016. Way to spout the party line there.

 

[PBRstreetgang]

Yup, I definitely want a heart surgeon with 2 years experience working on me instead of one with 26 years. I'd also definitely want a CA with 2 years of total experience to fly my wife and kids somewhere as opposed to someone who's been doing it for 26 years.

Great argument there, Gus.

Yeah,
26 years of questionable voting, kinda like wanting to ride along with the PCL 410 failures. Too bad you managed to reproduce, I am amazed tou figgered out which hole to put it in.

Isnt that ironic though, that you accuse someone else of spouting a party line, while you yourself are using that 8-10 years for oil to reach the market after drilling, which is just in itself a political talking point by the left to discourage US oil exploration.

It does not have to take 8-10 years, and if it does, it not because of physics but government hurdles. I have been on wells were it was just weeks from well completion to production, and even deep water offshore wells are getting down to the 2 year point from starting to producing.

This whole argument of "its going to take 10 years to drill so lets just not drill for any in the US" is rather silly Are you that comfortable with outsourcing all those potential jobs overseas?

I'm guessing that we will also need oil in 8-10 years. Let,s get started.

If you really want to save fuel, take her up to 390, ask ATC for a block altitude down to 6,000 and then turn off the engines......

Shouldn't you be flying that Cessna 172, Mr. Lowtimedriver?

Yeah, seems like they've been talking that 8-10 year plus "party line" smack forever. If we had dramatically enhanced our own exploration 8-10 years ago as we should have, I doubt we'd be importing nearly 70% of our oil from unfriendly foreign nations as we are currently. Just let one of these rouge nations make one false move, example Iran, and the challenges we're facing today will look like the good ole days. That, my friends, is a monsterous national security issue. Not to mention, as Mr Pickins says; "the largest transfer of wealth in history."
