My thoughts! I sent you an message on youtube asking what kinda work you did to afford a 600hp s2k haha. You replied something along the lines that you were in the airline industry but the industry went to shit. Glad to see you on top and doing so well! Buy your s a new pair of slicks!!

Cabin depressurization at 37,000ft above some nasty thunderstorms & a bleed leak or two. (Basically extremely hot engine air used for other things is leaking where it shouldn't be) and loss of anti-icing on the wings in heavy snow. Luckily I'm still here

I read about a case where a plane lost anti-icing and decided to get real close to another plane taking off so its jets would "melt" the ice off their wings. Needless to say they crashed into a bridge afterwards.

As far as depressurization at 37k feet, does that mean that the passengers saw the oxygen masks burst out of the ceiling? And, how did the cabin get re-pressurized? Did you have to announce on the speakers afterwards? : "Ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed a loss in cabin pressure therefore scaring poop from your bowels, we are good to go and just keep sucking that oxygen and get high so we have a worry-free landing, thank you for flying United".
