I hate to be the "party pooper" here but this thread has turned into a political mess. Please don't post your views about politics on here. There are many websites out there that would welcome your political views but this is not one of them. APC realizes that everyone has an opinion towards politics and not everyone one agrees with one another's opinions. Here is a copy of the applicable "terms of service" in which everyone agreed to when they joined APC.
Topics Not for Discussion
There are currently NO forums that provide a venue for discussing politics or religion. While DreamLaunch Media Ltd. and Airline Pilot Central embrace the diversity the world has to offer, these subjects often are very emotional and there are many different views. In our experience the wide range of views and emotions rarely contribute to a harmonious online community or beneficial contributions to the piloting profession.
