Man, Im so sick and tired about some passengers who must record and film every little thing. Last seen as a pax want to leave the aircraft midair and had tried to open one of the main doors which is impossible caused by the cabin pressure, but as they had brought him down with few people, others into the seat rows were pushing themselves aside to get the best spot for filming this instead of giving an additional hand. That sux.

I noticed that the menu in the airline app I installed a few weeks ago has the on-board photo/video policy listed above the in-flight food/beverage menu. As someone who does not partake or follow social media, I have to ask if society has really devolved to this level?????

On the flipside this could cause some serious backlash, when you are continiously in the headlines with more negative reports. You'll need years and years to build and keep your reputation upright and it could be crushed within seconds by a mistaken picture or comment. Welcome to the internet and its sidekicks.

Well yes and no. I contribute 14% of my paycheck into the fund just like everybody else on my safety plan. I'm just contributing ahead. The people in plan B contribute(d) 11% and the people in plan A contribute(d) like 6 or 7%. The people who were hired after me contribute a higher percentage. Oh, and here's that Southwest article…. https://www.9news.com/article/news/i...1-aa3a4897d19b |

A small city next to mine has a pension fund that is triple of the amount needed to fill future liabilities. Police and fire are able to get low interest loans from their pension fund because it is so well funded. That pension fund has a clause that doesn't allow the city to take gains over what was projected that year. Police and fire can retire at 20 years with 75% of their salary or 25 years at 100% with medical for the employee and their spouse.

So fucking true. California treats every fund - pension, maintenance, whatever - as a slush fund whenever they need cash, and then just go "hey last year's hike wasn't enough, we're still underfunded!"
And then people vote for yet another rate increase, toll increase, gas tax, etc. Even when the reasons for it never come to fruition due to incessant dipping by the representatives in Sacramento.

And to be fair any time one of you gets spotted traffic does sorta slow down....to about 70-75. The only thing keeping traffic anywhere near the speed limit is....well....the traffic. Like, it's either 80 mph or 20 mph. Other than that if you do the speed limit you're getting ass-packed by a semi.

In addition, I just wanted to update you all on that unfortunate shooting between fire fighters about a month ago in L.A. County. The impetus for the shooting was over the maintenance of the fire engine. Apparently this had been brewing between the two firefighters over a two year period.

Just read the article. I guess the murderer had some long-simmering personal issues. |
