In light of Musk's decision to ban journalists for simply posting a link to real time public data for flight following, I can no longer in good conscience utilize @Twitter .

I'm not closing the account (to protect the handle) but this will be my last post.

Bob Barker is 99 years old.

That means that Bob Barker was in his thirties when the 737 entered service.

Elon Musk bought Twitter because he was pissed somebody was able to track his private jet and he didn't know how to keep that information private on his own.

That's my theory.

It appears that all automated flight tracking accounts utilizing open source data from @ADSBexchange have been banned from Twitter, including @RUOligarchJets.

@Osinttechnical Update:
EM bought Twitter because he was pissed somebody was able to track his private jet and he didn't know how to keep that information private on his own.

That's my theory.

I swear when I checked the forecast for Denver this week, 25°F, 40MPH winds and snow wasn't on there.

I am SO not packed for this. 🥶

@WandrMe @DENAirport Its the busiest in terms of Runway and Arrival changes in a given hour when the winds are calm and the sky is clear.

@RATAFIA2010 @ignacioA320 There have been a few tweaks here and there but the meat and potatoes is the same tried and true design that has safely guided 737s for decades.

737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 certification issue in layman's terms:
There is an alerting system that has become standard in modern airliners called EICAS.

EICAS makes identifying and isolating system failures quick and easy as the aircraft presents the issue on a single screen 1/4

[Ben - Flying For A Living @Flying4Living]

But congress has mandated that all new aircraft certified going forward are REQUIRED to have EICAS installed.
Now you know.
5/5

[Ben - Flying For A Living @Flying4Living]

because it would require more pilot training to emphasize how 737s with EICAS would be different to operate during an emergency than previous models of the 737. That training would add significant expense to the initial purchasing cost of the new aircraft. 4/4

@Nir890 Rent a car and show him Jerusalem. 😁

[Ben - Flying For A Living @Flying4Living]

Congratulations! So are you going to go fly passengers now and be a REAL commercial pilot? 🤣

Congratulations on your retirement!

@AirlineFlyer What would have been better was the MEC chairman greeting Scott and having Scott stand in line and hold up one of the picketers signs.

THAT would have been a better statement than this.
