Good thing for you she didn't know that the termination was an illegal one and your "don't discuss salaries" policy is also illegal. The right to share your salary info (amongst non-management) is protected by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. "Pay Secrecy" policies are illegal at the...

During my instrument training, I was in the runup area when I see a Cherokee taxi towards the runup. As he got closer, and made the turn to get next to me, it became obvious his tow-bar was still attached. The FBO must have just (over)filled the nose strut, as the Piper type don't sag and...

Well, NOGAS! --Carlos "running with the joke" V.

Minor mix-ups on the radio. Facility names, aircraft models (but not their call signs), but not fixes. I generally have a really good memory otherwise. I can remember all my credit card numbers, every one of my vehicle license plates, my CA and TX DL #s, even though I haven't held a TX DL in...

Welcome to the club. I also have anomic aphasia that manifests with people's names. That's not as common as the typical noun based anomic aphasia, though. However, as I'm getting older, it's progressing slightly into more noticeable noun recall issues. I can say a person's name twice in as...

0 AGL. It's part of every textbook approach. It's just something you gotta do....when you land. --Carlos "never over Macho Grande" V.

At 7 minutes, that's not the longest clearance readback I've heard. This controller was a saint. N1956S-Clearance_and_Takeoff.mp3.zip If this sounds familiar, this was the clearance for the flight that generated the "Accuracy of my instruments" meme. N1956S-Departure.mp3.zip <edit: zipped...

No she didn't. Yes, you (or your ex/ex's daughter) can. Orangejello and Lemonjello are in the list of the usual "unusual name" urban legends. http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.asp

My grandfather used to tell stories about WWII crews backing up 4-engine bombers (that don't have beta props) by judicious use of brakes and alternating powering up the outboard engines. (left brake, power up #1, pivot on left wheel, right brake, power up #4, pivot on right wheel, repeat as...

That's what Skip Miller is pointing out. --Carlos V.

Yeah, but converting to turf makes the runway edible. --Carlos V.

And then you'd be violating 18 USC 1001. Except for a couple specific drug related crimes, expungement is a state-only thing, and has no bearing on the Feds. Your arrest/conviction is in some database somewhere owned by the Feds, and the Federal Government is under no obligation to delete it...

It doesn't exist if you're talking to ATC. I've flown over Space Mountain several times under flight following below 3000. Incorrect. You don't have to talk to ATC using the SFRA at 3500/4500 feet. The mini-route at 2500 feet most definitely needs ATC coordination and clearance.

How to unlock those doors is not exactly a secret.

Nice goal post move. From an absolute "they won, law has been made, comply" to "only won the first battle." Think of it in tennis scores. "Advantage DoJ". --Carlos V.

Looks like someone hasn't read the court order. They haven't won, yet. The last item in the order: Apple asked for and got an extra 3 days, which prompted the "comply immediately" motion from the DoJ. As of this post, we're still in the 8 day period for Apple to write a response to convince...

TouchID has a 48 hour timeout. If you haven't touched your phone in the last 2 days, it'll force you to enter your passcode. December has been a bit more than 2 days ago. Edit: Also at bootup. So if the phone was off when they found it, or it has been turned off in the intervening time...

Go see the pilot episode of "Homeland." --Carlos V.

You popped a chubby at Iron Man? --Carlos "takes all kinds" V.
