Technically a space suit protects an astronaut from nothing.

@SecDuffy @USDOT If we were actually making $180k-$400k we wouldn't be stressed about not getting a paycheck.

[Clay @clay1202]

@SecDuffy Blatant lie, starting pay is not even $100k, if it was $180k we would not be in this crisis. I am making $166k at one of the busier facilities in the country, and will be getting a 1% raise next year meanwhile inflation is going crazy.

@lh0ch Wtf

[Clay @clay1202]

@lh0ch Looks like a bit further south than the forecast? They did say that was a possibility depending on how everything plays out

[Clay @clay1202]

@lh0ch it’s wild!! Was coming down fast and heavy in Grant Park, reminds me of snow up north.

[Clay @clay1202]

@lockedoutofvenu @Hotshot_Movie It’s not understandable, as a pilot of an aircraft or drone you must know all regulations about where you can fly and be aware of any airspace restrictions - especially TFRs. This is a basic start to any flight

[Clay @clay1202]

@lemonodor @TheIntelFrog @FAANews “Turned off the external lights” is interesting, wonder if that becomes a strategy. you just know there is somewhere out there saying they lasered the ‘drone’ and it turned off its lights 🙄

[Clay @clay1202]

@TheIntelFrog I spent 8 hours today telling the drones exactly where to go.

[Flight Emergency @FlightEmergency]

I mean….if you don’t know that this is a plane then what can you do 🤦🏻‍♂️😭

[Dakota Smith @weatherdak]

we've all collectively lost our minds huh

@ElijahCone Nailed it, no notes

[Clay @clay1202]

@ElijahCone @wankersvilleusa I’ve gone deep enough to see this tweet, time to get offline. I’m a 5

@ElijahCone The healing begins

[Clay @clay1202]

@MCCCANM High priority traffic calls for my are if aircraft are climbing or descending, partly to ensure separation but also avoid an RA. When I call traffic and its a VFR target the pilots always listen up, and start looking. Usually involves a turn if not in sight, altitude is good too

[Clay @clay1202]

@MCCCANM In the Enroute environment we are required to call traffic to any merging targets with minimum separation, so could be 1000’ or 2000’ in non-rvsm, however this is workload permitting so if we have more important stuff happening (often) it moves to the bottom of the list.

[Clay @clay1202]

@Hondo320F16 @MCCCANM I called traffic to a DAL flight the other day 1000’ above and not merging but it was a B52… figured they might like that

[Clay @clay1202]

@lh0ch I’ve got a morning shift tomorrow…. Can’t decide if that is worse or better, on one hand the day will go by faster but I would almost rather be working during results to have the distraction

[Clay @clay1202]

@smartereveryday @YouTube I watched it last night, loved it! Such a fun interview and probably asking questions outside of their normal interview set which is a nice change.

[Clay @clay1202]

@MCCCANM Constantly in awe of y’all flying into unfamiliar airports daily, I deal with familiar airspace everyday and just have to fit all the planes into it.
