I just get incomprehensibly bewildered every single time I hear about commercial airline fuckups. Coming as I do from the world of naval aviation, the shit commercial airlines get up to confounds me.
Did the navy try to rush us during peak flight schedule? Yeah, course they did. And you know what we were trained to do? To tell them to go fuck themselves, because safety came FIRST. I’m serious. I always performed full inspections. I pissed off people weekly for finding flaws that made the jets unsafe to fly. I once told a guy two ranks above me “no” and stood there and refused to do the task until it was safe to do it. I made him and the pilots wait the full 5 minutes. After the jet took off, he came up to me and admitted I’d been right. Yeah, I know. You’re welcome for me refusing to do a thing I knew would catch the jet on fire with the pilots inside.
And navy jets have REDUNDANCY. They have two of everything. Learning some commercial jets only have ONE piece of equipment, a sensor that records the angle of the plane, that was connected to a computer that could override the pilot’s input and force the jet to careen towards the ground? Yeah. Terrifying.
I look at commercial aviation and go “look what you’ve done. You’ve ruined a perfectly good form of transportation.”
Anyway trains are better and if I could get where I’m going next month without flying I would.

Everytime I get on tinder
I swipe
I tell myself “you can’t decide not to match with someone who otherwise looks okay JUST because of their zodiac sign”
that’s silly…right?
And then I see a Pisces man with long hair and a guitar
Suddenly it doesn’t seem so silly
