It’s just a guess.

I’m still unclear why autopilot would have taken the jet through restricted airspace in the first place. But the flight path clearly takes it over the destination airport, plane makes a 180, and then flies back over the destination airport. And then cruises in a straight line for a long time until it crashes in Virginia.

On second look at the flight path, it didn’t go through restricted airspace heading north…only after missing the destination airport and flying back the other direction.

I’d strongly lean toward depressurization.

Does this mean you have to give back the retirement Casio watch?

I’d go with a depressurization. I believe the Citation requires two pilots which would tule out a medical issue.

Looks like autopilot turned it around past the destination airport and it cruises until it ran out of gas.

Anybody else notice the rental cost problem? I keep saying this is all a closed system and if you screw up the parts, you screw up the system. You can't adjust pieces in the middle and not affect the ends, and that's precisely what investment/speculation cause. Running up the price of property and energy is great for the speculator and terrible for the economy as a whole. We're screwing around with more investment money than ever because of retirement funds, and we're about to find out. There is no free lunch, and you can't get something for nothing. Somebody is getting screwed every time somebody else pulls money "out of thin air".

Brooks also doesn't believe she should have to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt for her education.

Her parents didn't attend college, she said. Her mother was a waitress for much of her life; her father wasn't around. To finance her degrees, she turned to government loans.

To the tune of $240,000?

The market is becoming monopolized by huge property acquisition firms and setting the rents. The competition is dwindling in alot of markets.

Exactly. For an Education Degree or two?? Seems people don't seek out the most affordable way to attend college. Not sure how many states offer this, but TN has Tn Promise in which a TN HS grad can attend JUCO or CC/TCAT free for two years. Most of these schools have partnerships with various Uni's to pathway into your degree program for two years and finish. My son did that, and just completed his first Semester at TTU, which is probably the most affordable state university in TN, and one of the best degrees in several majors. At full price tuition is only $5200 a semster (He stays at home. Not wasting R&B when 8 miles from campus). That's 20K for him to finish. AS an added bonus my wife works at TTU, so he gets 50% off and will graduate owing a max of around 12-14K. If he were to keep his GPA over a 3.0, he would have all that covered by HOPE and pocket the excess to the tune of about $2300 a semester. And he insists on taking care of his own schooling. He paid $650 cash for his summer online class. Gotta be smart about your education. He works with a HS friend selling sports cards online. Hitting it hard this summer to build his bank account back up. If he were to choose to do so, he could prob pay cash this fall. TTU also offers a drastically reduced tuition for out of state residents within 250 miles of campus. Doing homework to choose your college of choice pays dividends.

that article is a perfect explanation of how screwed were are: rents too high, entitled citizens, government bureaucracy making things ridiculously complicated and distorting the markets. Fail, fail, fail.

just a sample:

To be able to afford his student loan payment in September, Berlet plans to cut back on how much food he buys. Although he'll technically be able to come up with the extra $250 a month by doing so, he doesn't believe he should have to make these kinds of decisions.
"There's no reason somebody should need to take out loans to be a teacher," said Berlet, 23. "But to be able to serve my own community, I needed to put myself in debt."

Starting in the fall, he expects to return to the diet he had eaten as a broke college student.
"When I go grocery shopping now, I'm able to buy fresh ingredients, vegetables, a piece of salmon if I want it," he said. "But that will go away, and I'll be back to [instant rice] and beans."

I agree that rents are too high. My wife is in the business and she even agrees that rents are outrageous but damn, the author couldn't have picked 2 more entitled self righteous individuals to quote if they tried.

I'm a UT grad; my older son is a UT grad; and my younger son is a TTU grad. I think for a number of things you would be hard pressed to do better than TTU. Don't pass up on the coop program; there are some great opportunities for connections, jobs after graduation, and income, of course. My son did very well in the TTU coop program - the biggest downside was an apartment while working, but it worked out then - hard to say with current rental costs. I can't say how it has changed in the past few years, but the TTU dorms weren't that great when my son was there; I'd say yours is doing well by staying at home and saving money.

I benefitted a lot at UT in grad school with the Oak Ridge connection and a nuclear engineering major; that's an instance where I think UT could be a better choice. However, my son cooped at Arnold AFB and had a job waiting on him when he graduated. I really believe that connections change everything when getting a job. I had rejections from Westinghouse, GE, and Combustion when sending off applications as a nobody with MS degree. Then the group I worked with at Oak Ridge (graduate assistantship) had a series of meetings about nuclear diagnostics with all the major nuclear vendors, and I was able to participate and meet people first hand. I accepted a job with Babcock and Wilcox stemming from one meeting, and also got offers from Westinghouse, GE, and Combustion; GE still wanted me to come out to San Jose even though I told them I'd accepted a job with B&W. That's why I'd always recommend a coop program, or secondly working with a prof who consults with a potential employer - there's a huge disconnect between HR receiving applications and the staff who need technical types - they simply don't speak the same language.

Why does this loony keep talking about hate on trans people when there's none there?
It's like each & everyday she comes out pushing this false agenda about the hating for trans people. Nobody talks about this but her. She's the one throwing gas on a small fire hoping for it to get bigger & to be more violent. The left are the ones who push for more trans violence.

Teachers are scandalously underpaid: that's a big part of the problem here.

Your posts are consistently nonsensical and radically at odds with reality. "The left is pushing for more trans-violence." Really? That would be illogical since the left wants to protect trans-people from discrimination and violence. And there's an enormous amount of hate from right-wingers toward trans-people--fact.
