Of course he isn't.

We can't vote our way out of rigged elections.

The military is the only way.

Asking the important question of the day!

Look at my poor Pepe. b_b told me he was called the "suprised" Pepe. He sure is surprised now.

Personally, I am hoping the upgrade will make the avatars larger than before. It took me a long time figure out that Daughter of Joy's avatar was Mike Lindell holding one of his pillows.

edit: And welcome back!

It wasn't bad back then. I wanted to be involved in the aviation world and ATC (even as a Flight Service Specialist - basically someone pilots called for a weather briefing) was "status".

I had three months to accept or reject and gambled that I could eventually land a "real" pilot job even though I was only a private pilot at the time.

Took a while but I became a flight instructor, then a freight pilot, then a corporate pilot, then Director of Operations for a charter company, then a corporate jet pilot.

35 years condensed into one sentence. kek

It was the starting salary, $35,000 ish is what I remember. I was very interested, but decided to continue on the professional pilot path which paid off eight years later.

This was a few years after the PATCO debacle and the FAA was desperately looking for talent.

They were last time I checked. One of the mods pinned the post within a few seconds of my posting, as if waiting for it, watching, hungry, needing it. Maybe the pin timed out? They are typically highlighted for 24 hours.

I was accepted into ATC school as a flight service specialist in 1986 with a duty station in Seattle.

Ultimately chose not to attend and I am so glad! Can you imagine me living in that area?

That variable is TRUMP.

and

See if you can solve that equation by holding TRUMP constant

The constant is "America first"

The variable is the "Trump (wild) card".

Nice write up b_b.

I'd say take away his degree too but it probably isn't worth the paper it is written on.

Does he have outstanding student loans?

Marco is going to have a great resume when President Trump leaves office.
