You gotta love it when your 34yr coworker with 8 years of experience in your industry calls you freaking out because he doesn’t know how to use a PDF editor to sign something.

I love suggested routes where you hop on an airway for a single fix. What’s really the point of filing the airway if you’re only on it for a couple miles?

9 dollars….9 dollars for a croissant in the suburbs of Chicago. 9 dollars, for what amounts to fancy looking bread lite with a nut that costs less than $0.50 per ounce.

When you work a hybrid job, being forced to sit in an office after you’ve been done with your work for 4 hours, with zero calls or emails the entire time, is such a waste of time. If I can drive home and still stay on shift and pick up any work that comes in, why am I stuck here?

Any recommendations for meteorologists to follow on here? The bird app is putting fourth the clickbait YouTubers, which is getting frustrating.

The absolute meltdown in air travel in the Caribbean between yesterday and today has been one for the ages.

It’s wild how much influence the Great Lakes have on winter weather. A cold front can drop temps fast in Chicago, yet SW Michigan stays noticeably milder thanks to Lake Michigan acting like a giant heat reservoir.
