And increasingly even when you book on major airlines, you are flying in planes owned and operated by smaller, shittier carriers. A disturbing part of that United incident (the one where paying customer got bloody nose while airline employees took his seat), is that it was a regional carrier responsible for that. It was a PR nightmare for United, but if David Dao had booked that route on any major carrier's website it would likely have been that same regional company's planes and employees wearing different outfits, maybe operating out of a different terminal. In this case it was Republic Airline operating the flight, which filed Chapter 11 in 2016.

I'm just a guy who travels too much for work, not an industry expert, but I'm betting it sucks to be a pilot for Republic Airline.

It's not bi-modal at all, either for pilots or for lawyers.





The numbers for lawyers are a bit misleading though. Lawyers in general have been struggling a lot in recent years, because like med school, law school is expensive as gently caress, but unlike doctors, lawyers have a really hard time finding well-paying jobs unless they graduated top-of-class from a reputable school. And software automation especially has been eating the lower end of the legal job market, which makes it difficult to start at the bottom of the totem pole and make one's way up.

For TB, everything is about them and their experience and if you don't agree you are anti-trans.
With KM, everything is about them and their experience and if you don't agree you are racist.

The only air between the two is TB always tells people to kill themselves while KM posts obnoxious gifs (that used to get you probated in D&D but are allowed now because there is no moderation.) And says everything is white fragility.

It's the same shtick. All of their posting is about their personal identity while the rest of us are just assumed to be upper class white Christian males I guess.

Or goons. You are all goons to me.

It's amazing that you've managed to misread them so much that you've turned it into something about yourself and how their posting upsets you, or how you feel they must see you based on it. Then you declare what we are from your perspective.

The irony, so thick, so delicious.

(The observation you should be taking from this is that everyone posts from their perspective and you are just as 'bad' about it or as 'annoying' as you claim them to be, but somehow can't see it)

It's actually in BFC, but yeah. Being a lawyer was great back in the day, but it hasn't been a lucrative career at all for at least a decade now. Like, certain specialties like IP law pay ridiculously well, but those are hard to break into. Your average attorney these days works insane hours and doesn't make nearly enough to show for it.

TB isn't trans, wtf. She called a trans man a dickless freak in an argument once and then threatened me in private when I called her out.

KM is a good poster who is perfectly able to back down when she is wrong but absolutely will not let racist dipshits shout her argument down just because it hurts their precious white feelings.

gently caress, get your black posters straight if you're gonna whine about them. Or do all black posts read the same to you?

the article posted:

President Donald Trump dropped his own New Year’s ball—in the form of a wrecking ball—with a late Friday afternoon announcement that effectively wipes out plans for perhaps the nation’s most crucial infrastructure project.

The president officially scrapped his predecessor’s proposal to have the federal government underwrite half the cost of a multi-billion-dollar Amtrak tunnel connecting New Jersey to Penn Station, the busiest transit hub in the U.S. The lone existing tunnel is rapidly deteriorating, threatening to sever Amtrak’s popular Northeast Corridor and to divert tens of thousands of New Jerseyans from their daily Manhattan commutes via New Jersey Transit.

What a petty vindictive piece of poo poo.

Christie scrapped this as one of his first actions on taking office.

Between the canceled tunnel and the disintegrating subways, things are looking really grim for NY/NJ's public transit.
