@TheAviationBeat And the diamond medallions still won’t clear the upgrade list

@xJonNYC SIDA badge holders are all trained and expected to challenge someone to show their badge in sterile areas if not clearly visible. Then report anyone who does not comply.

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@xJonNYC Can confirm that DL employees were helping with getting everyone’s carryons into bins at ATL South checkpoint on 3/11 so I assume that’s still happening. Definitely helped keep things moving.

@wheeler244 How did it turn out???

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@ByERussell Concourse C/D has about 48 gates by my count, vs 36 max in E (if all narrowbody). That's not nearly enough to replace C/D. What's the part of the plan I'm missing?

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@mtrantalainen @LinusEkenstam Similar question from a U.S. context. This is governed by state law, but in general you need the other person's permission to record a conversation, and the social+legal expectation is that conversations *are not* recorded. This flips the entire paradigm on its head.

@NWSPortland forgot the most important part to tag you !

Significant hail accumulation and most pea size or smaller in NW Portland (23rd/Flanders). Wow! #orwx

@NowHeresYou @fly2ohare What’s on the back of that truck?

@humantransit @ByERussell @AlaskaAir @HawaiianAir I would see it as an opportunity for UA and WN to step up and compete on PDX-Hawaii. Hopefully they do!

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@jonostrower @Clear Totally agree, Jon. At best it just creates a PreCheck “zipper merge” at the first TSA officer’s position. Especially at hub airports, I question what the value is for paying Clear customers. At best they seem to save 3-4 mins. Often equal or longer wait though.

Anyone else notice the gap in @AlaskaAir Main Cabin menu? PDX-LAS is 12 miles short of the 775 miles at which the airline caters cheese plates and the little jam sando. Only prepacked snack boxes. I would have gotten the cheese plate tomorrow, but instead I’ll pass.

@BalanceCrafting I'm so glad I found your posts yesterday! Super helpful insight and detail, please keep it up.

@lkmcgann There's also only so much you can fight against with your kid. If you give them an allowance, then at some point they will figure out how to save enough to get a phone -- unless there are already family expectations/ground rules

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

The complexity is it requires all the parents of a friend group to agree. Once two friends get phones, then it's very easy for everyone else in that group to be left out. The social pressure amongst kids, and therefore among parents, is tremendous.

[Laura McGann @lkmcgann]

As an outsider looking in at parenting, this doesn't seem that complicated to me. When your kid asks to buy them a phone, don't? https://t.co/luq2jaXMNA

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@lkmcgann I think a lot of parents are not that intentional. It is super common for us to see little kids at a restaurant and the parents hand them an ipad as soon as they sit down. I think that's a mistake and sets the expectation.

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@OregonDOT Hopefully no injuries, but I am curious to see how this gets cleared up. Assuming a few cranes and whatnot?

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

@jrlsilverman Such a disappointing and unsurprising cop-out. Once again, the district chooses expedience over what's best for educational outcomes and student success.

[Peter Sachs @ATCPeter]

Much as I love the Hops, let's all remember the legislature made time for funding a new ballpark, BUT NOT OUR SCHOOLS
