For those of you who are old enough to remember it. This is a list of characters from the, "Andy Griffith Show".

Barney Fife
Opie Taylor
Aunt Bee
Thelma Lou
Helen Crump
Ernest T. Bass
Floyd Lawson
Otis Campbell
Andy Taylor
Goober Pyle
Gomer Pyle
Howard Sprague
Charlene Darling
Eleanor Walker

And do you know why ALL OF THEM were all so happy, in almost every single episode of that long running show?......BECAUSE NOT ONE OF THEM WERE MARRIED!

Excellent observation but I have to disagree a little on a couple of those names.

Ernest T. Bass was only happy when he was throwing rocks in windows. He was hopelessly and madly in love with Charlene Darling and wanted to marry her. Charlene, on the other hand, wanted to marry Andy until there was a "bad omen" that Mr. Darling saw and called the shotgun wedding off.

Charlene ended up marrying someone else. We don't know if they lived happily ever after.

If I remember correctly, didn't Andy and Helen eventually marry? Again, we don't know if they lived happily ever after.

Because we don't know if the aforementioned couples lived happily ever after we must assume that they didn't.

There was one episode where a married couple were always fighting. Andy and Barney did their best to get them to love each other to avoid DV charges. In the end, Andy figured out that the only way this couple could ever be happy was if they were fighting.

So, in general, I have to agree with your premise.

Agree completely.

However, given that specific unit, their mission, and the rapidity with which the "maintain visual separation" request was made following the initial traffic call, I suspect there was strong institutional/operational culture (techcedure) there.

I have no clue why they jumped journal size on those. I had a local source for cheap Proof Carbon prefits for a while, but that source dried up.

No PM should be accepting things that the PF does not agree to/see... Until we get the transcript from the helo CVR we wont know what their conversation sounded like.

ATC: "call the airport/traffic in sight"

PM looks over at PF for a thumbs up or something that they see what was asked.... or asks PF "do you have the airport/traffic in sight"... before responding.

I have had PM's make calls on airports or traffic that I, as the PF, hadnt/didnt see. We had a conversation about that after the fact to make sure the person flying the airplane actually saw what was needed before making that call. I know I wont call anything without the PF saying it or giving me a thumbs up when I look over.

NOW obviously there are cases where say the airport is off one side or the other and the other guy physically cant see it, but generally there is a quick conversation about that and the person who see's it calls it in sight.

For more than 35 years, officer-involved accidental discharges with Glocks and Glock-like weapons have been blamed on a lack of training or negligence on the part of the individual cops. What critics should be addressing instead is the brutal reality that short trigger pulls and natural human reflexes are a deadly combination.

^^^^^^
I don't know if it's something that is really happening or not. I'll just say that there's a lot of videos of people "accidentally" discharging their weapons to say that it's the fault of the gun 100%. Add in the factor that a majority of accidents happen due to being comfortable in routine situations and safety is no longer priority. That happens in every job from mechanics, electricians, fishing, logging on down.
To blame it on someone else is common in today's society that lacks personal responsibility. The largest section of any phonebook was attorneys. Dewey Sue and Howe.

Wish A. American (pin name) ever gets off his ass and moves forward with his movie project about his book series "Going Home". If one is ever made about the book "One Second After" or the "Dark Road" series they would be good as long as they're true to the books.

Too funny! I was just reading this thread yesterday and Fox news has an article this morning about "One Second After" moving to the big screen!

What’s makes me nervous is the amount of possibilities- Sig says it’s bad boosters, bad ammo , poorly trained stupid Americans ,it’s aftermarket triggers or other aftermarket parts.
Others claim it is a flawed design in the trigger sear interface of poorly designed over complicated striker and or sear .
Fuck maybe I’ll pic one up when some runs a smoking deal on PD trade in.

Shit at my airline a day 1 new hire in the airplane can take the airplane from a 30+ year Captain if they deem it necessary for safety of flight.

Click to expand...

That's exactly my point, said more directly.

With modern CRM, a crewmember in either seat can take the aircraft if safety is endangered. Insinuating an evaluator is incapble of doing so simply because the evaluee may have signed for the aircraft just isn't accurate.

I'd also say since the evaluator was PM and was the one who asked to maintain visual separation from traffic....failure to do so is ultimately on HIM.

Shhhh, don’t say anything but I plan putting a trigger tech in my A1 build. It’s not seen

Meanwhile, in California…
