So now, we as pilots will take hits on profit sharing as oil prices climb. As consumers we will pay more at the pump. As parents we may see our kids go fight a war that has no endgame or real strategy other than they hoped the people would rise up and take over the long established government of Iran. The US is not great right now. The rest of the world is watching us like a belligerent drunk on the street corner arguing with a trashcan.

It's embarrassing to be on an overnight in another country.
