TBH, I haven't bought the tickets yet and I may still drive out. I mean, it's only a 30 hour drive... :blank:;)

I would drive. And that was even long before the current state of affairs. I’ve never been off the ground in an aircraft, and would definitely like to try it some day, but I refuse to submit to the security theater bullshit they put you through to fly commercial.

THREAD: Suicide Mission: What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane

[...]

But Swampy was mired in an institution that was in a perpetual state of unlearning all the lessons it had absorbed over a 90-year ascent to the pinnacle of global manufacturing. Like most neoliberal institutions, Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” that essentially reduced the whole concept to a combination of intellectual property, trade secrets, and data, discarding “thought” and “understanding” and “complex reasoning” possessed by a skilled and experienced workforce as essentially not worth the increased health care costs.

Back in the 1980s I was helping my dad remodel a small apartment building he and mom had bought. One of my sons was helping out one day too.
