Amazed there were no injuries with that bank angle. Hard to tell what they hit but that just looked like a recipe for tumbling and cartwheeling. Oh and since everyone lived, Cirrus pilots

Two pilots who, surely, have read a pressure chart before decide to fly through a bomb cyclone over the Rockies. Not surprisingly, the ride was bad and the mountain wave severe. Edit: also guaran-loving-teed it wasn’t severe turbulence because that airplane would be down for inspection and more than one passenger or flight attendant would have been taken to the hospital.

I caught moderate to severe over the Rockies in a 767 and almost poo poo my pants. Our food trays went everywhere. Two flight attendants were injured. Surprisingly the autopilot held on like a champ.

Can't imagine turbulence that would actually injure people...

Can't imagine turbulence that would actually injure people... There's another step past severe: Extreme. Extreme turbulence reports are the worst, because while I'm scrambling to get airplanes away from the turbulence-that-shakes-airplanes-apart, any airplane on frequency, even if he's 100nm away and outbound is asking for altitude changes or vectors to get away from it.

 Spirit isn't the best but it's the most honest. It's cramped like a schoolbus, the passengers act like children on a schoolbus, it's interior is as clean as a schoolbus, it's about as cheap as a schoolbus, so why not paint it like a schoolbus? The name of the plane even has bus in it!

I still can't decide if the "vintage" Jetblue livery is stupid or cute. Learving toward the latter.

It's kind of like when NASCAR teams on throwback weekend create a concept scheme for a sponsor that didn't get into the sport before the getting was good in the 2000s and, thus, doesn't have a badass retro scheme to bring back for a night- it's only cute because they're pretending they were in existence at the time.

Find ‘Cilantro cafeteria’ (5891 NW 36th St, Virginia Gardens, FL 33166) near the Boeing and Atlas training centers, 5-10 minute walk but be careful not to get killed by crazy drivers crossing the avenue. It’s a small place. Ask for the vaca frita with rice and beans and fried plantains. You are welcome.

Is it true that if you have too many car accidents that you may not be able to fly again? I heard this from some lady that hangs out at my in-laws. Something about her son being a pilot and he had a recent accident and had to do extra stuff due to the whole pilot thing.

The FAA requires you to report drug or alcohol related issues, and they can access a national database to make sure you didn't lie about them. Airlines generally want to know about traffic tickets, since that's another metric they can use to screen applicants, but the FAA doesn't care about speeding tickets and such.
