Wow, that's less insightful than your first post in this thread. I didn't think it was possible.

If anyone was still on the fence about whether or not this career will be destroyed by foreign flag, this should remove all doubt.

She is pro business and anti labor. That decade was a lost decade for most of us and in general not a very good time for labor. But then again her boss is actively trying to break a union in Vegas so at least it's consistent.

Not exactly draining the swamp.

Strap in boys. It's going to be a long four years.
So are you implying that losing our pensions was a direct result of the Bush Administration and not the actions of 19 misguided fanatics who hijacked two of our jetliners along with jets from American Airlines and killed over 3 thousand Americans is this country's worst terrorist attack?

9/11 did not require the airlines to kick the pensions to the curb, that would be the overly business freindly bankruptcy laws and anti labor government we have had for nearly 40 years now (both parties). Pensions could have easily survived the recessions but our laws have made it easy for corporations to go back on pensions promises (but only for labor, they always find money for senior management pensions and golden parachutes).

The Alt-Right are notorious for many reasons. Critical thinking and insight aren't among them. On topic, I agree that his pick isn't friendly to labor but I wonder how much she can really do in that office to truly impact our lives. I guess we'll see.

A bigger impact would have been the "carbon credit" schemes the progressive Marxist wanted to push with their "climate change" nonsense.

The Lefts entire ideology is based on envy.

Take a deep breath and try to relax.

The new SoT is NOT going to be operating in a vacuum and do whatever she wants in spite of the incoming administration's #1 campaign theme "fair deal for the American worker(s)".

And the Heritage Foundation is not going to be running the gov't.

Geez.

LOL

Gotta laugh at lefties desperate to label everyone who disagrees with them "Alt-right" and all that is supposed to mean. Critical thinking and insight is certainly not among those pushing that "narrative".

Fixed it for you.

It never was going to be the Amerika you want. Nor will it ever be. Move to Venezuela. Oh, wait...

Single pilot, flag of convenience was always coming no matter what. Cheap mass travel is far more important to the economy, than well paid pilots. If a car can drive itself, an airplane can certainly fly with one less pilot.
