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.”

Standby
I’ve got to run into town this morning and I don’t know when I’ll get back. In the meantime, you can ponder what I was reading yesterday.
”These days, Sweeney is a frequent guest at the Obama White House. By contrast, during the Bush administration, he was invited only once in eight years -- and that was at the Vatican's initiative, during a papal visit.
"At least Sweeney won't need divine intervention to get into the White House," quipped Vice President Joe Biden. “
I guess President Bush made a statement. What do you think about the results for the country ?
