Got a kid interested in aviation? Not sure how to help foster it?

In the US, the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) will give kids from 8-17 their first flight in a small plane!

I’ve flown a few; a great opportunity for kids & pilots, too!

Daughter insists on Dublin.

I’ve turned to the group chat of KC-10 / airline buddies. They commute; I never have.

They speak the old magic, written before my time. ID90. MyIDtravel. Staff Traveler. ALPA app. Offline non-rev.

Aer Lingus rises in the West…

Well, Dublin looks like a low probability for the next few days. Need to connect.

I need to get standby seats on a direct flight somewhere other people are going to miss connections.

Dublin may be out. A new contender arises…

TSA incidents starting. DEN first I’ve confirmed.

Yeah, it’s connected to the ground stop, but not coordinated. Don’t freak out, it’s no attack. People are just pissed off, there are tens of thousands of them missing flights, and some percentage of them are not very bright.

Me: “Gosh, I can finally use vacation & my flight benefits!”

FAA Command Center: “He’s trying to use his benefits. Nationwide ground stop. Lock it down.”

Dear @nonrevgod,

Bless us tomorrow as we hold open seats to Ireland against all who would take them from us. We have listed for the earliest, most unpleasant flights & invoked the holy Vacation Passes.

It’s in your hands now. “Vola Libere”
