At least I only had the European winter to deal with not the Alaskan! Still not sure how I survived..

We flew King Airs without GPS, single crew and no autopilot ! ;-)

I see that on recurrent training with a high % of younger pilots but equally many older ones don't know how to use the electronics to help them fly safely

A good article on a subject that can be debated over several beers!

Hyundai brought in 2 BMW executives in 2014+ to get the brand up to European and US expectations

2/ people getting that is small. I think the different tax systems drives it and I know people here going part time to reduce tax burden and gets better lifestyle

The pay structure in the US seems to rely heavily on sector pay, whereas in the UK ( and I think Europe ) there is a set salary plus a small sector allowance with maybe a bonus for certain long serving people in some airlines. A senior Captain here might get $300000 before tax but the number of 1/

My IG algorithm must be very different, I get aviation, animals, automotive stuff and adverts for bands! ( which I don't mind because it means I've found some new musicians ) If you haven't seen a British comedian called Gregory Johnstone he's worth a look

And if it's a crate motor do you o/h or replace the gearbox, and then all of a sudden it's a complete rebuild because "while it in pieces we might as well do..." !

Happy Birthday🍻

Another bombastic "deal" from the East Coast mobster.. I can't see it happening

Quick weekend engine rebuild 😉

Religion has much to answer for..

I suspect narcissists are born rather than raised so it's a difficult job to try and teach them it's not all about them! Again the "Influencer" life style doesn't help but that genie is out of the bottle

I think teaching of "Critical Thinking" should be compulsory, I tried to show my children that there are often different, valid, views on many subjects but people have to look at the implications of the actions. My oldest (early 30's) finds many of her young colleagues struggle with the concept.

I think it's social media showing more extreme views that were always there but reserved for bar/pub/club discussions, now anyone can put their opinion in the ether for all to see. Maybe it was similar when the printing press was introduced 🤷‍♂️

Certainly doesn't make him popular in the rest of the world, not that he cares

Just one more thing.. we are the Sultans of Swing

I regret never seeing him live

Assuming a mid Zoopla value ( as of today ) I would pay about £150 a month more than present Council tax. Would the tax go into the central purse or to the local councils? Do we get a refund for the stamp duty paid 25 years ago ;-)
