Matt Collins replied to a thread SouthWest flight suffers catastrophic engine failure enroute to NYC in Open Discussion

Being able to land with 1 engine out is standard training. Every multi engine pilot must be able to do it. And in most cases it isn't really that difficult (assuming no other damage). Making a split second decision to ditch a multi engine aircraft in a river with both engines out and doing it successfully with virtually zero injuries is something that almost no pilot trains for which is why there was such a big deal over it. That being said, the way she handled this situation appears to have been of the highest quality airmanship and yes she deserves to be recognized for it.

Matt Collins replied to a thread SouthWest flight into New Orleans turns into pukefest amid severe turbulance in Open Discussion

This was their original routing and first flight: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA3461/history/20180414/1325Z/KFLL/KECP Stupidly, they descended right on the edge of the front and tried landing in it. They should have held, or gone around/above it, or landed in front of it and waited for it to pass. This crew should get their ass kicked for poor ADM.

Matt Collins replied to a thread So Alex Jones FINALLY has enough of Trump? "He just crapped all over us!" in U.S. Political News

AJ isn't very bright. Roger Stone co-opted him and he couldn't see it. AJ became a "useful idiot" for Trump's machine and fell for it hook, line, and sinker. AJ was blinded to what Trump really was and kept shoveling BS for him. It is good to see that he finally realized it, although too bad it took him this long.

This is the same group of people who caved and removed the confederate battle flag from the capitol grounds. I wouldn't expect too much on this.

Yeah they pulled this crap on me and a few others back in 2014. The way the rules are written for the state party, they have near dictatorial powers. I am betting a good lawsuit could put an end to this nonsenese, but I didn't have the money to fight it.

Matt Collins replied to a thread The Passing of the Libertarian Moment? in U.S. Political News

I just finally got around to reading this. First off the author, Kevin Williamson, is an idiotic self-important, arrogant, giant gaping, ivory tower, neocon asshole. He is openly hostile to the cause of liberty and looks for any chance to put it down. That being said, he is incorrect on a number of fronts. People who are pro-liberty are not Trump supporters as the two concepts are irreconcilable. As he babbles on with his drivel he fails to see the hundreds of pro-liberty individuals being elected on the state and local level across the country. And the fact that there are now 3 nearly 99% solid pro-liberty members of Congress up from just 1 in 2008 when Ron launched his Presidential bid.

Matt Collins replied to a thread Rare: Killed by Facebook in Open Discussion

So much idiocy I don't even know where to begin... - too much overhead. Too expensive real estate (DC) - their business model being 100% reliant on Facebook which is whimsical at best and downright biased at worst - no real content, and what content they had was ridiculously over hyped and pushed too hard

Matt Collins replied to a thread Ron Jeremy Off the Hook in Sexual Assault Case in Open Discussion

It goes back to what Trump says.... But anyway, almost every girl he meets lets him do this to them. Why would he expect otherwise especially since she let him touch her chest? I suspect this was a lawsuit for the girl to get famous and make money.

Matt Collins started a thread NRA quietly supported gun control bill in Florida in U.S. Political News

A Republican state legislator, who will remain anonymous, has directly informed me that the NRA not only supported the gun control bill, but seemingly authored it and orchestrated its passage being rammed through in the last two weeks of the 2018 session (SB 7026). “We’re not saying this publicly” the legislator started. Read all the details here:

Rand became a Congressman much younger in his career than Ron did. Although he never told me for sure, I suspect he makes less money as a Senator than as an eye doc (which he isn't allowed to do anymore). I don't blame him for taking a pension.

Are you out of your mind? A human would not have been able to stop in time even if they were looking. Swerve and avoid? maybe but unlikely. This is clearly the fault of the idiot pedestrian who was: walking a bike. At night. No streetlights.
