It's Friday...here's a plane

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

I vote it’s these ones

When you're editing SXM photos and discover @airlineflyer.net lurking in the distant background...

yes they should

I don't get along with ferries (seasick), and even with the delay this was much faster than trekking out to the port. Plus on the outbound the winds were bad enough that the ferries had cancelled all the sailings through 1300.

IIRC they’re the same seats that Norse has, which I absolutely loved

its giving Springfield Monorail vibes.

this is the way to go! can't wait to hear about it :D

yesssssss excellent choice

Came close a few times last year too but never panned out. Air Premia is also on the list

I want to fly them so badly.

d’awwww

Wishing I was still there...

Thanks!

Almost forgot to wish my Canadian friends and followers a happy aviation day! Its one of my favorite places, and I'm looking forward to my next visit up north already!

hotel...don't make this harder than it has to be

This is literally "Mrs Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me"

Lmaooo

(I can't believe this is real life)

That is correct...their existing two are ex Silver. So are most of the pilots too.

I'm a big turboprop fan, but then I'm not most people haha

Are turboprops cool again?

The answer is a solid maybe. But at least in my opinion, this one sure is.

So far it's just LAS and SCF from an SMO base...I believe they're also toying with another west coast silicon valley destination (but not positive on that). Realistically too they just don't have that many birds yet (I think 2 in service and a handful more on the way in the first half of the year).

Yeah probably would be.

Blue Raspberry doesn’t really do it for it, but if you mix in a few cups of absinthe it’s like…doable.

Don’t sleep on Purple Thunder, ie Mountain Dew and Concord grape

I regularly remark reality frequently feels like what would happen if you combined the writers rooms of Always Sunny, Arrested Development and Veep

thanks!
