  • That is not true at all.

    People were willing to accept a return to business as usual after President Trump’s first term. His reelection is not only a signal that the US cannot be relied upon to elect competent leaders, but that checks and balances cannot be relied upon to prevent the damage. There is no stability in governance.

    The leader of the executive can destroy commitments and policies of not just the prior administration, but policies of longstanding precedent.

    With the Supreme Court backing of the ability to unilaterally fire government workers, the government will no longer be a stable place to work. It will be harder to recruit experts in the future.









  • Unless you work for the FAA, NHSTA, Boeing, or relevant Indian equivalents, I’m going to have to ask you to stop speculating.

    If it’s spring based, and one side failed, it’s possible that next to no force will flip it to one side, but it takes the expected amount of force to move it in the other direction.

    These determinations always require more knowledge than is publicly available.

    I’d like to remind you Air India has a notorious record of bad maintenance in the case of AI101 in 2018. I’d like to further point out that they landed that plane and demonstrated that Air India has hired very skilled pilots.





  • I’m not the person you replied to and I’m not familiar with India’s certificate process, but the FAA is a stickler about mental health - even for a PPL on a class 3. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting treatment or not. The fact that you have any history of mental illness is huge. It seems really fucking stupid to me, especially if you are getting help.

    I hope to god indias certificate procedures aren’t as ridiculous as the FAA
