The thread was about TSA's slipshod maintenance and the situation it's placing Eagle pilots in. All this "systems" malarkey shouldn't have been here in the first place.

It appears you're offended by the phrase "son", although since it wasn't directed at you, I don't know why.

Are you one ?

I could sure use a lesson in how to be "cool". Should I start saying "dude", "bro", "knarley" or "righteous" alot ?

It would be most excellent.
