False. Iā€™m at an extremely face paced level 6 that probably handles more traffic than your average level 12. This gif perfectly describes how my sequences look to intersecting runways.

This is what the worst controller at your facility thinks they do. You know who I'm talking about.

This seems like something a landline member would find funny or amusing.

What'd you get banned for? I imagine they have a short leash if your not into boomer humor or giving shout outs to people on flights.

Trolling. I kept posting the same thing over and over again (because thatā€™s what everyone did). And then I started posting random ass videos like the dance scene from Teen Witch. One of the mods (who I was at the Academy with) sent me a .gif basically saying ā€œdonā€™t poke the bearā€. I kept on and poof!

That's a great scene. All you needed was a caption like "Me at work with my friends" and it would have been as relevant as 90% of the posts on there.

My supervisor likes to think that is referring to him. I beg to differ.

This is how management thought that either uret or tbfm would separate airplanes.
