Hmm, they must really be fed up with Sholomart's recent ruthless posting. Well at least I can watch Chilean futbol while I'm here. Just no shit threads.

It apparently lets me post threads but won't let me read other threads. Hmm.

Fuck United.

That is all.

This place sucks horse cocks.

Yeah but I've been on two international trips lately with them and they've been good. Rack business class, BTW.

Definitely rack business class. But not so much on United. Where they have 2x2x2 seating on some 787s American has 1x2x1. Or on the older 777s United biz class is 2x4x2 while American has 1x2x1 in the same area.

When you are a fat greedy fuck you need biz class just to get a seat you don’t spill out of.

Perhaps, but when you're a tiny, bald, fat and angry fuck you need a booster seat with a juice box to keep you from crying.

Biz class is all about the flat bed. It allows for 7 hours or so of sleep from Dallas or any where west to Europe. A bit less for East Coast departures. A full nights sleep on any of the flights to Asia. When the plane lands you can give time zones the finger and put in a full productive day.

Not that any of the trolls here would know about that.

I'm in Sao Paulo. My experience was that it definitely cut 5 hours off my flight as I was able to get good naps for that long. I felt fine in the AM but I definitely hit a wall around 2 pm and had to take a nap at 4. I would certainly not want to commit myself to eight hours of work coming off a long haul flight, even in business class. But I could be productive for a few hours.

I am lucky or just familiar with planes. I can sleep and sleep well when in a lie flat seat. So no problem working a full day when landing.

Does it take a while for the tranquilizers to wear off, or can you just shake it off and shower yourself with your nose?

Hey Lefty, what do you think of Embraer aircraft? Do you ever fly them?

Except you don’t work for a living so how would you know Miss Antoinette?

So no 4x4 EV truck or SUV suggestions?

I have never piloted one. I fly them a good bit as American has a number of them. As a pax I really enjoy the 170/175/190. 2x2 seating with a useable overhead bin.

Guessing you are writing about them?

Here's a mini-PET for you fuckstains. I spent the early part of the week checking out Embraer's HQ and facilities about 1 hour east of São Paulo at São José dos Campos and Gavião Peixoto. Included commerical, biz jet and military.

Here are some photos--


Brazil's KC-390 tanker/transport aircraft ERJ is developing for the Brazilian Air Force.


The first Embraer model aircraft, the EMB 110 Bandeirante, which entered into service in the early 70s. It (not this aircraft, but the model) is still in use with the FAB.
