Me either. I think there's an awful lot of unprovable rhetoric swirling this thread.

This country needs to own its air transportation industry once more. I think the Unions are the ones to provide the voice to get it done, in part.

Other Western civilized countries pay their students to go through flight school. Lufthansa pays for $30K and lends the future contracted pilot another $30K, repayable at 0% interest over the course of the contract. I don't know how many years. In fact Germany entitles many citizens to highly subsidized, if not even free, college level educations. And just look-a-dem! Those lazy Germans are dragging down a perfectly great continent. Schweine Hunde!!
