    I don't think those planes have a 3rd (jump) seat in the cockpit...

     

    They ALL do. 737’s have one, 757s have one or two depending on model.

    That seems highly unlikely, but it’s possible a charter flight might get away with having a person in the cockpit who isn’t cleared for it.  On the other hand, it’s highly surprising a charter pilot/copilot would accept this.  The usual rule is “sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet” though, meaning only necessary and flight-related communications between the PF and the PNF that leg (pilot flying and pilot not flying) and if distraction led to an incident or accident it would be their butt in the sling

     

    Now they might have been asked to let him into the cockpit and give him a tour and explain what they do, when and why while they were on the ground.  I could see where that might help a nervous flyer.

     

     

    I was thinking that myself.  

     

    I didn't make it up.

    Was it really a near miss?

     

    These guys running our team are crafty.

     

    If you inquire and poke around to find out about AB it could be tampering.

     

    If there is an offer in its called due process and if you don't like what you hear you just say we are out.

     

    That's what they did.

    BTW no to the non process guy from Jax

     

    What? 

  3. They literally could just start over and whatever the new V1 is would be better than what they have today. It's like almost 2020, mobile apps have been around...It's not that hard.

     

    My favorite thing is you can download episodes, but if you are offline - like on a PLANE - the app will rarely get past the home screen. So great feature idea that doesn't work in the most basic use case!

  4. Crazy situation, but I think he's "done done." 

     

    Even if he is completely healthy in, say, 12-18 months and wants to play again...the minute he gets a tweak he is going to remember why he originally retired. He'll be in a broadcast booth in 2020. 

  5. This would be incredibly risky and boarder line nuts since JC cannot be extended until after this season. Meaning zero guarantee he signs here (or anywhere he's possibly traded to) long term. Only way I'd consider this if it doesn't include draft picks and Texans are basically just trying to dump him - which would also be crazy on their part.

     

    Still very far fetched.

  6. This is a business play in the hopes two sinking ships can stay afloat better as one. The question is how soon will they rip the bandaid off and stop printing? it's a huge expense, yet there still is a lot of print ad revenue out there (esp locally). So a catch 22. There will DEF be cost cutting measures.

     

    These old school publishers never thought the internet was going to really disrupt a 100+ yr old lucrative business and never made forward thinking M&A moves...Whoops! 

     

    As of today, Twitter is worth about 30x that of Gannett in market cap. And with the right, aggressive offer a decade ago a big pub could have probably acquired TWTR.

     

    Here is your factoid for the day: in late 2006, Google acquired youtube for $1.65B...Today, over 5B videos are watched daily on YT with 80% of the audience being under 49. Cha Ching.

  7. Knowing this game means nothing, the Colts are going to be very good for the next (at least) 5 years. They have been drafting well, have Luck, and have the ~2nd most available cap space in NFL. 

     

    Perhaps these are two franchises that will start to see each other in the post season.
