Straw Hat Aircrew

I recently read a book about commercial planes and how the flight crew have to work together to get sh*t done and keep everyone safe, and I couldn't help but think of the Straw Hats.

In a given scenario of what-ifs and dire situations (like if it was one of those movies where some of the passengers—along with a bit of inexperienced air crew members find themselves having to fly a plane and get everyone to safety) what each Straw Hat would do. This is a mix of old and new aircrew/airline positions.

Usopp and Nami would have to both be captains. But I think Usopp would make a good Airborne Sensor Operator too—he’d somehow know how to gather information from an airborne platform. They'd both have to tell the pilots and officers what to do and where to go. I believe Nami would actually talk frequently with the air traffic controller, needing to know where to land and the closest airport. If the air traffic controller (ATC) was being an a**hole she’d set them straight. Usopp would be telling the first officer, second officer, and third officer where to go. He's one of the best communicators and strategists in the crew and would use his fear to his advantage. He can work extremely well under pressure. He'd be able to lead this thing. Mitigated speech would be out the window! Yet, I think Usopp and Nami would take turns sitting in the left seat

The officers (co-pilot, second officer, and third officer) would be the monster trio. Now I know this sounds crazy. But if you think about it, they're the three people in the crew who always jump into action. When sh*t gets serious they perform miracles. Luffy would immediately start attempting to fly the plane, Zoro would be the second one to jump in the piloting chair (but he’d need to listen to Usopp and Nami very very CLOSELY), and Sanji would initially be in a cabin position or in the parser role (cabin crew team leader), but he'd have to jump into that piloting chair if need be and help fly the d*mm thing since that's who Sanji is. He be manning the ship wheel sometimes in canon. Then Robin would take over as parser and reassure the passengers that everything is A-okay (morbid humor aside). Besides, Oda said Robin would be a flight attendant in the real world.

Franky would be the flight engineer (he'd be the dude who knows the ends and outs of the plane). Operating the complex airsystems. He'd have to let the captains and pilots know if an engines been blown out or what’s been damaged. He'd let them know how much gas is in the plane and if they're going to “land heavy”.

Chopper would be the flight medic who'd be there if a passenger so happened to be experiencing a medical emergency such as a passenger passing out or something like that. He'd communicate effectively with another medic/doctor (maybe someone like Law or Marco) stationed somewhere remotely who would tell him exactly what to do based on the specific ailment or issue.

Brook would be part of the cabin crew (stewards/flight attendant, parser, etc), and Jinbe would be part of the flight deck operations (with the captains and officers). If he needed to take over as a pilot (a bored/distracted Luffy or Zoro having issues like arguing with Sanji), he'd take over. So he'd be part of the relief crew. Brook would be a flight attendant, but he'd be a cool one who before take off tells the passengers how to be safe what to hold onto, and what not to do. What’s prohibited and not. Crack funny jokes and sing.

The Straw Hat crew would save the day and make a miracle landing.

Bombardier CRJ200 Contour Airlines

Registration: N443SW Type: 200LR (CL-600-2B19) Engines: 2 × GE CF34-3B1 Serial Number: 7638 First flight: Mar 2002

When it comes to air travel in the United States, many of us immediately think of the big players in the market – American Airlines, Delta, United, or Southwest. But beyond the noisy transportation hubs and crowded terminals lies a realm of smaller airlines diligently weaving the foundation for regional travel across America. One such carrier is Contour Airlines, a regional airline that has carved out its niche by connecting cities with limited air service. And it does so with comfort, convenience, and a touch of charm.

Contour Airlines isn’t trying to compete with the giants. Instead, it focuses on connecting smaller cities to each other or to major hubs, often filling gaps left by larger carriers. Contour’s route map underscores its mission: linking places that would otherwise require a long drive or multiple flight segments through connecting hubs. Flights are typically scheduled once or twice daily, ideal for weekend getaways or business trips, though the limited frequency means travelers need to plan ahead.

Contour’s fleet is built around Embraer ERJ-135 and ERJ-145 regional jets. More recently, Bombardier CRJ-200 aircraft have joined the lineup. With around 40 aircraft in operation the airline performs about 20,000 flights annually. The 30-seat cabin configuration is a deliberate choice, creating a spacious interior with no middle seats, ample legroom, and a 2:1 seating arrangement. Fewer passengers mean a quieter, more comfortable ride, though it does challenge profitability compared to larger regional jets with 75+ seats.

The airline’s headquarters at Smyrna Airport (MQY), just steps from vibrant Nashville, serves as its operational hub. This location reflects Contour’s roots and its focus on connecting the Southeast with other regions of the U.S.

Factors Affecting The Pay Scale Of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers

The world of aviation is a marvel of human engineering, connecting people around the world with speed and convenience. Behind the scenes, Aircraft maintenance engineers ensure the safety and airworthiness of aircraft. Safety is paramount in the aviation industry and it is functional under the strictest safety regulations in the world.

Aircraft maintenance engineering technicians possess the authority to issue an airworthiness certificate, which guarantees that an aircraft is safe for flight. Many students get admission to the best Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Colleges in India to receive training in aircraft maintenance. Here are some important factors affecting the pay scale of Aircraft maintenance engineers:-

Level of Experience

Experience is a major factor and it has a crucial role in deciding an AME's pay scale. AME technicians are classified as Entry-Level AMEs, Mid-Career AMEs, and Senior AMEs based on experience gained. 

Certification

A DGCA-issued license is the foundational license of AMEs. Holding a DGCA-issued AME License is the minimum requirement for working in national and international airline companies. Enrolling in AME Colleges in India is the primary step towards an aircraft maintenance engineering career and contributing to India's progressive aviation industry.

Geographical Location

Job location impacts the pay scale. High-cost urban centres often get higher salaries compared to rural areas for licensed AMEs. Locations with more airports may need more AMEs. The demand increases toward high return salaries. AMEs working in harsh weather conditions are bound to be paid more than those working in an ideal environment.

Type of aircraft

AMEs opt to specialize in a specific aircraft category, such as commercial airliners, military aircraft, helicopters, or private jets. For students to build a career in aviation maintenance, joining one of the Best Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Colleges in India is a primary step.

Type of employer

Commercial airlines own large fleets and they require constant services of qualified AMEs. Aircraft maintenance engineers employed in commercial airlines earn more salary compared to private airlines. Commercial airlines provide many benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and travel perks. If you have a dream career in aviation, the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Colleges in Kerala offer an opportunity to turn a dream into reality amidst the state's scenic beauty.

High Demand, Competitive Salaries

With more demand for aircraft maintenance engineers, salaries rise automatically. It is evident that in regions where there is a shortage of qualified AMEs, airline companies are forced to hire AMEs at a higher salary. AME colleges in India are often opted by students to gain the knowledge and certifications required to become skilled aviation maintenance engineers in a rapidly evolving sector.

Shift Differentials

AMEs have to work on various shifts such as day shifts, night shifts, weekends, and holidays. The salary for various shifts may vary according to inconveniences faced by AMEs during the passage of working hours. Sometimes during the emergency repair of aircraft, AMEs have to work overtime and they are paid beyond their regular shifts. Finding the best Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Colleges in India can be a significant move that ensures a promising career in aviation maintenance.

MPU-5(V)4/P Joint Service Aircrew Mask (JSAM)

Aircrew stuff isn't my territory, but had to pick one of these up cause they're frankly pretty chaotic. Developed as part of a series of next-gen rotary wing aircrew masks to replace the older M45 and MBU-19/P Masks.

The most interesting feature about these masks is their detachable faceplate design, with the facial seal being a separate component that the mask clips into.

Once again, this belongs to @bureau-of-mines

Achieve Ripped Results: Follow These 5 Easy Training Guidelines

Find out how to get ripped with these five simple training rules. And when we’re talking about getting ripped, we focus exclusively on the abs.

It would help if you had a relatively low body fat percentage to get six-pack abs. To be able to see your abs, men should aim for 15% body fat and women 20 percent. However, that number can be lower or higher as it differs from individual to individual.

15 Exercises Better Than Burpees For Fat Loss

But you can get strong and more extensive abs, making them appear much faster. And this is what these five simple training rules to get ripped from Mike Israetel are all about.

Dr. Mike Israetel, PhD in sports physiology and co-founder of Renaissance Periodization, is a well-respected professor in the bodybuilding community.

Another note you should remember is that these training rules are not rules. They should be viewed as invaluable tips for creating your training routine. Without further ado, let’s dive into it.

Get Ripped with These 5 Simple Training Rules

Rule number one underscores the application of everyday repetition ranges to abdominal training. Like other muscle groups, 5 to 30 repetitions foster optimal muscle growth. There is no need for obscure rep ranges—stick to the familiar 10 to 15 rep range for best results.

Rule two emphasizes the importance of a full range of motion in abdominal exercises. Contrary to partial movements, exercises like full-range sit-ups and crunches capitalize on the expansive range of motion of the abs, promoting enhanced muscle growth and injury resistance.

The third rule introduces the hanging knee or leg raise as a potent exercise type. One can achieve superior results by gradually extending the legs in controlled movements, enhancing muscle growth and functional strength.

22 Bodyweight Ab Exercises Ranked Worst to Best

Eccentric control takes center stage in rule number four. Slowly lowering the legs after a hanging leg raise amplifies muscle growth and strength benefits, surpassing the advantages of the concentric phase. This deliberate approach induces delayed-onset muscle soreness and fortifies the body against injuries.

The fifth rule underscores the effectiveness of loaded abdominal machines over calisthenics. While planks and holds have their merits, machines that allow progressive loading, dynamic movements, and standardized ranges of motion offer a superior path to achieving bigger, stronger, and more injury-resistant abs.

In conclusion, while planks and calisthenics have their place, serious ab training involves dynamic exercises, controlled eccentric phases, and progressive loading for optimal results. Remember, the path is well-defined. Resilient abs lies in embracing these rules as guiding principles rather than rigid dictates.

In the video below, Mike Israetel explains how to get ripped abs with these five simple training rules.
