“There’s also a pretty basic game theory element to this.

Scheme to be split into two languages

Scheme to be split into two languages:

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m one of those 50 page purists when it comes to languages.

Is there a laptop in the house?

So a lot of folks were disturbed by my post last night about the pilot using my laptop and wi-fi card to find a new route. I would have explained last night, but we didn’t get to Dallas until after 1am and I went right to sleep.

There were two or three different lines of storms in the west and south that were effecting all Newark outbound air traffic. There is no mechanism on a 737-500 to look at weather. The radar they have only works in flight, and even then it can’t show what’s happening outside of about 50 miles. …
