@adamtaggart They yell at the TV, perhaps, because they don't participate in the yelling on social media. There's a huge problem in our country where people are fixated and angry. A few Archie Bunkers screaming at the TV, are muted by the diarrhea online. I'm 71, BTW.

@airmainengineer Type II and Type IV

Bottom line: It’s a high-stakes trade.
​Short-term lower rates for a few, paid for by depleting the systemic insurance for the many. It turns the backbone of our housing market into a $200B artificial stimulus fund.
​The question is: Who pays when the "rainy day" actually arrives

[Jeff Johnson @flymotor]

The "Mortgage Rate" shell game explained: 🏡💸
​Trump just directed Fannie/Freddie to buy $200B in mortgage bonds. The goal? Create "artificial demand" to force interest rates down for homebuyers.

[Jeff Johnson @flymotor]

By spending the cash reserves to zero, the admin is taking a massive gamble. 🎲
​If the housing market dips or defaults rise, there’s no longer a $200B cushion. If the GSEs fail, the U.S. Treasury (you, the taxpayer) is legally on the hook to foot the bill. Again.

@Matt_Pinner Heck, I used all 20, yesterday!

@airmainengineer Depends on the aircraft. It's minimum, vs demonstrated (certification) performance.

@GinieSigonney The Ryan Aircraft hangars (Spirit of St, Louis— Lindbergh — Lindbergh Field) were just to the left (south) of runway 27.

@MCCCANM When the engine separated, thrust carried it up/over the wing. This compromised the leading edge devices ( I don't know if they're called slats or leading edge flaps on an MD11). In addition to loss of power, the wing probably stalled. Heroic crew had no chance, unfortunately.

@astropics Pressed ham

With hub and spoke system, airlines need the gate space. If there is a weather or traffic event things back up.
It's more complicated than a simple queue, although I have had the same thoughts, sitting in line during rush hour at Kennedy. We often shut engines down to save fuel as things changed.

@xAviation De-iced with typeI or Ii, followed by type IV. Delayed extension of takeoff flaps configuration until #1 for takeoff.
Normal operation.

@CNBC He's rambling, as usual, but seems a bit compromised— more confused.
