Comment on Episode 183 – Just the Geeks by Hoovenson

David, I can think of a few other reason why other nations might shy away from the Global Hawk after USAF cancelled the program: a) slow or no upgrades on the airframe & sensor suite; and b) reduced parts availability.

Cheers !

Minimizing the tax collection points to one or two for aircraft is critical to maintaining efficient commerce; or more accurately competitive commerce with other forms and other nations. So any new tax is worse than a bad idea. It is a stupid idea. With U.S. Federal, state, and local taxes accounting for 37% of GDP now compared to 27% in the early 1960s, no new taxes are the only acceptable answer with less government everywhere and reduced expenditures by government nearly everywhere
now and for the foreseeable future. The dense and ignorant in DC have to have this hammered home repeatedly or they will not get it; except to get unelected.

User fees as proposed will reduce safety! I lived in the UK in the 90s when similar fees were introduced and experienced a significant reduction in my practice IFR approaches and general IFR practice. It was difficult and very expensive to maintain currency as a result of those fees.

Geeks!

Great to have podcast back for another year. I appreciate all the had work that goes into your top quality product. It is indeed a labor of love.

Perhaps you should have Robert E. Coli, CEO Thromby Air, on the show as a counter point to Runway Girl. (Hi, Mary!) The PCDU boys could facilitate or translate – whatever …

Thanks for all you do, Geeks!
Jamie

Another great episode… well done!

WRT transparent airline pricing, you gentlemen are quite correct… requiring airlines to disclose the real price a passenger will pay IS an outrageous infringement of our right to free speech and should be stopped.

Your guest however, Apex Mary (if that’s her real name), is clearly happy that my rights are infringed by a new rule that will only serve to make air travel appear more expensive than it is made to appear now.

At Thromby Air we believe that the financial surprises presented to a passenger as they go on their journey are an important and exciting part of the “passenger experience.” Our mysterious and seemingly random fees and charges bring back the sense of danger that is so sadly lacking from modern aviation, and should be protected and made even more inscrutable.

However, we are mindful of our responsibilities under the new transparent pricing rules. We are therefore upgrading our online booking system accordingly…

Lauren: Right you are! The original show notes had the wrong Twitter handle for you. It’s now corrected above.

Hi Geeks!

Just finished listening to the Unplugged episode, and I think it was a fine break in the routine. I still enjoy the great guests you have and the regular structure, but one of these from time to time would also be welcome.
As far as the “fugly” A380 goes, I’ll see if I can get a response from Jeb for you!

Keep up the great work!

Jeff

Max,
I think the difference was very subtle, as far as both sound and content are concerned. If you needed fewer hours of edit work, the cost/benefit ratio looks pretty good

Tonight marks the 39th anniversary of the first crash of a jumbo jet, Eastern Air Lines Flight 401. Gone, but not forgotten.

Seasons Greetings Geeks!

With only 51 jumps from various aircraft (C-121, C-130, C-141, Casa 220, DC-3, UH-1, MH-60M, MH-47, Ch-47 to name a few), I found your comments on parachute operations as bias. Since many of you have never jumped from an aircraft while in flight you are not speaking from a knowledge base. SHAME. For some of us, it’s the only thing we can pilot …

However, after all is said an done, I’m still a fan. Looking forward to the next year of the Airplane Geekdom.
