UPS grounded all of its planes
« on: September 11, 2014, 03:10:42 AM »
On 9/11/14 due to "possible computer issues." Smells like a credible threat of a compromised plane to me. http://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/advADB.jsp

Great. I'm awake waiting for my 4:30 car to ewr.
The earth can wait to implode till I get to Hawaii.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Seems to me I recall there have been hijacked cargo planes recently... like the last year or so.
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

I wonder if the sailboat parts I ordered yesterday and paid 2 day air on so I could fix my boat this weekend were FedEx or UPS?  :facepalm:
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Zero lines at security. Fastest ever through terminal c ever. Is that a sign no one is flying?

Looks like the FAA page changes. This might work.

Based on that it was only for an hour and 15 minutes or so.  Over and done with.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!
