IROPS 0 if you’re going to DFW anytime soon, no you’re not.

Passed my commercial-multi engine checkride today. CFI next. One step closer to becoming @nathanfielder #WakeMeUp

Before dawn over Armenia, the sky starts to look almost alive. This timelapse was captured westbound as we crossed one of the busiest, and most geopolitically sensitive pieces of airspace on Earth. To the south lies Iran. To the north, Russia. Between them, a narrow corridor through the Caucasus carrying hundreds of aircraft linking Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Every light you see here is another aircraft, another crew, another story moving through the night. What makes it remarkable is the precision. At closing speeds approaching 1,000 mph, aircraft pass each other separated not by miles, but by carefully managed vertical layers of airspace. Invisible highways in the sky, built on GPS accuracy, disciplined procedures, satellite surveillance, and trust. And yet these routes are never static. Politics shapes them. Conflict bends them. Closed airspace redraws them almost overnight. What was once a straightforward great-circle route can quickly become a carefully threaded path between terrain, and diplomacy. From the cockpit, though, there’s a strange beauty to it all. Tiny lights crossing ancient landscapes. Modern aircraft moving through corridors shaped by geography and history alike. Controlled. Precise. Fleeting. A reminder that aviation is never just about the aircraft. It’s about learning how to move safely through an increasingly complicated world.

🚨BIG YELLOW: Inside the Spirit Airlines Repos drops tomorrow on YouTube! Get ready for a chaotic, fast-paced, yet sentimental ride through the last 2 weeks at Nomadic. The video captures ALL the moments - and in the end - pays tribute to the O.G. Ultra Low Cost Carrier!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don’t understand how the Spirit 2.0 crowd is going raise anywhere near enough capital, validate pledges or obtain a part 121 operating certificate.

I had my Multi today and Luke had his single. #MeantToBeBros

Death, Taxes and DIA trains not working

You didn’t just witness a landing—you heard it roar in. This Boeing 737 MAX 8 hit SAN with a powerful audible wake and visible wingtip vortices trailing behind for Alaska Airlines during Airline Videos Live on May 5th, 2026.

Unlike Spirit, Frontier was quick to adapt. Bundling their fares like the legacies and changing their network model to increase aircraft utilization recover from IROPS better quite literally saved them.

Not only has JetBlue not warned this, its current leadership has said the exact opposite. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen eventually, but cmon…

This is about to be the ultimate hand on shoulder meme

It’s been a crazy 72 hours. We’re currently representing 4 possibly 5 of the ~ dozen lessors that own #Spirit metal. Since being activated on Friday at 6PM, we’ve deployed 20 pilots to 5 cities. It’s VERY complicated. Just gaining access is a battle fought on zoom calls and WhatsApp channels.

My worlds colliding. (This is a terrible idea btw!)
