The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

Free Lunch
How many times have you heard the expression, “There is no such thing as a free lunch” ? Something that hit me about it the other day...
Why is it, that the guys saying “There is no such thing as a free lunch” always seem to be the guys that own the companies that bought the advertising that tries to convince you that there is indeed a “free lunch” ? Buy One Get One FREE !
You know...the guys that sit around the fancy restaurants, pretending they’re working, when all they’re really doing is padding the expense account -- with a free lunch.
