Everyone, I want to thank you all for being so generous to me and my family. Your contributions made a huge difference to us. As anybody who's been a new hire knows, it can be hard to make ends meet when you're on trainee pay, especially if you've got a family and you're living in southern...

I hate writing one of these "I'm leaving" posts, but I know enough people around SM that it seems like I should put one up. Since I started with the FAA over a year ago, I've gotten a lot of trash about being one of the more visible users here. At first it was mostly good natured, but it's...

High Desert is all civilian too (FAA, not DOD), so it's more or less a regular TRACON with unusual traffic. Took a FAM out there. Nice new control room, with their own system... I forget what it's called. Far from everything; Tehachapi would be at least an hour's drive. The tower's DOD and...

Yeah. Happened just like she said, he applied to the next PUBNAT, and got picked up off of it. Can't remember where he was getting sent to the second time around.

Heh, that was your class? They were still taking about that months later.

The 7110.65.65? jk. thanks for the app.

We'd take them direct to the FAF if they'd let us. But I hear that kind of rubs people the wrong way down the line.

Hey, if any of you have benefitted from Dr. Orsak's help over the past years, go thank him here: http://www.stuckmic.com/ask-flight-surgeon/19982-thanks-doc.html kthx

Amazon seems to like it. It's been sitting on my Kindle for a while, but it got preempted by a book on how to not screw up parenting a toddler. At this rate, I'll get to it in several years.

That was on the way to Fun and Sun a year or two ago. Not sure why they had two cameras going on.

A guy in our area can't ever keep the Brickyard callsign and Brickyard VORTAC straight. Thankfully RPA isn't a NAVAID identifier, so you get to sit back and watch him curse at URET for not accepting his route entries.

March 30 is National Doctors' Day. For everyone who's appreciated Dr. Orsak volunteering his time and expertise to the ATC community over the past few years, please chip in your thanks here.

I guess the website ended up shutting down. Looks like it's just a placeholder now. We still have a copy of the video somewhere, but it's not online anymore. You'll just have to come over to our place sometime. Bring pizza. Hey, for those still around who voted for us, thanks for your help. It...

ZLA is always metering for JFK.

Ok, I follow. Tim's nailed it. That's part of the reason I unstuck this thread, since there aren't any new PUBNATs. There's a link in the original post to the PDF. I can't remember where I originally read it. I wouldn't expect them to have updated it, since it was an OIG study, but there may...
