  • There isn’t a single Republican in the House who I want to see stay in office. That said, trying to get every single one out just isn’t going to happen. A “positive trend” doesn’t mean anything in districts as strong as this one, but there are plenty of purple districts where that positive trend means a flipped seat. And all the gerrymandering to secure more seats means each seat is less safe (those blue voters didn’t disappear, even if their district essentially did) so that could backfire as well.








  • Nah, I worked at an airport that only has CRJs and we had a jet bridge. I’ve even boarded Saab 340s from them. There are some differences like a little bridge instead of direct connection, and they can’t use the jet bridge’s auto-level feature (as the plane gets loaded and unloaded it slowly sinks/rises not unlike what a car would do; auto-level has a stick with a wheel to track that and move the jet bridge to match) but other than that it’s pretty seamless.

    Ok, there is a limit and you probably couldn’t use a jet bridge on, say, a Cessna Caravan… But the minimum is most definitely not a mainline plane.
