Bundled up to clear the last of the snow from the driveway and sidewalk. I’m that Midwestern neighbor that clears the sidewalk for my two neighbors to the left AND right of my house,(the length of my block). It’s not like it costs me anything but a little time with the trusty two stage snow thrower

It’s not like we haven’t been fucking saying/warning you this shit was going to happen if push came to shove. We’ve been pushing it for YEARS. Shit won’t get fixed though until another Academy is built to train controllers, but OKC lobbyists are trying to remain home of the sole location, IIRC.

Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts. nasstatus.faa.gov

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

NK1300 and AF1 had a bit of an "encounter" today-- ATC was reportedly yelling at NK1300 to get their attention to get them to alter course. Not sure it was a "close call" at all, but since AF1 involved.. I tend to believe the yelling part. Thanks to @petchmo.bsky.social for his help in..
