Military aircraft - most mid air refuel if they aren't the big long range one.

Commercial - they fly light, fill it up with fuel completely, and assemble some of the seating at the destination country. They also often stop in Anchorage and a couple of other places to refuel.

Some guy posted there that he was disappointed about Leo's stance on homosexuality, abortion and birth control. He got lots of down votes. It's kind of surprising to watch someone realize the Pope is, indeed, Catholic

Clearly not an actual Catholic. Did they actually expect the Pope to support abortion or birth control? :rotflmao:

If we polled Catholic priests generally, Trump might have fewer fans than many might assume.

And so will Democrats with the LGBTQ+ bullshite. Catholics, or at least their priests and bishops, espouse world views that piss off both major political parties in the US. They are radically anti-abortion, do not support LGBTQ+ marriage or lifestyles, and also preach compassion when it comes to illegal immigrants living in this country.

You won't get the church to budget on those stances either - especially with abortion. They do not care.

Lots of people in the Prevost family from South Louisiana. When I heard his name I was really excited for a minute.

Still awesome that he's from Chicago.

I always respect companies who somehow maintain good employees despite the local labor pool being terrible or stretched very thin. Most of the time, it's because the owner is either working there daily or is in close proximity or they are paying much higher than market wages.

Gate agents at massive airlines are all terrible. It's a terrible job, but the people who staff it are also terrible people most of the time. I can speak with experience here....but American Airlines is a joke. Their employees are rude, mumble out commands, and generally move at a snails pace.

But I've never seen full on crazy like what's in the video. Even if you can't help the customer due to policies out of your control, you should not ridicule them. There are cameras everywhere these days. A couple of shitty employees can really tarnish the company's brand. In this case, they probably could obtain a lot better quality employees with better pay and culture. That's very important for any customer facing role. It's honestly important for every role.

Yep. Wondering how long those states can keep this up, and how long before this gets noticed beyond the circles that track it.

Already a win.

But I think Trump will get us even more.

India will be the big trade partner for manufacturing moving forward.

It's not just important to China that they agree to Trump's terms. They need to do it FAST now. Too many competitors are working with the US.

Now I would say O'Hare is my least favorite.

O'Hare is terrible, but they are spending billions to update it. But right now it's horrible.

Philadelphia sucks too.

List is shite! The hybrid iforce engines in tundra’s haven’t been plagued with the regular turbo6 problems.

---

Yeah they are failing left and right. They just haven’t been part of the safety recall like the non-hybrids because the electric motor can at least get the truck a few feet off the highway when the turbo V6 seizes.

I’m on my 3rd Tundra and starting to think about my next vehicle

The Tundra 1794 and Platinum trim levels look great. My favorite half tons. But I am not going to get one until they figure out how to build them.

I’m convinced the pandemic lockdowns screwed up the later stages of design and testing for the Tundra.
