NEW IN THIS REVISION
House Speaker Pelosi Letter:
Ealier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a personal letter to FAA Administrator Marion Blakey requested an Age 60 Rule exemption on behalf of Capt. Donald Persky. In her letter, Speaker Pelosi notes Capt. Persky's excellent health, cognitive abilities, and his 20,000 hour accident/incident/violation-free flight record. Speaker Pelosi also urges the FAA to "rectify [its] policy of mandatory retirment," and asks that Capt. Persky's exemption "include command and second in command privileges for domestic as well as international flights."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's exemption request.
[Ed Comment: This is a really high powered recognition of the political imperative for the U.S. to grant the same privileges to U.S. pilots that it does to pilots of foreign carriers. The Speaker's personal request for Capt. Persky's waiver directly recognizes the inequity visited on the hundreds of U.S. pilots forced out of their jobs by the FAA's (and Congress') slow response to the long-heralded ICAO rule change!]

Capt. Persky's


Just another 3 percenter willing to step on everyone junior to him.

After "20,000 hours" you would think he could step away from the hog trough and let someone else have a career.

Good point!! But what's that got to do with Nancy Pelosi? And better yet,

how'd she become Speaker of the House with just 3 percent of the vote?




p.s. - just what exactly do you teach in college anyway?
