The cloak of Privacy does not exist in this electronic world despite those claims. I don't care to hear these lame excuses and special pardons, the fact is that as a Taxpayer for which my taxpaying dollars are spent funding the ATC system in this country, there should be no one getting "special handling" like this BARR program unless it is necessary for Defense of the Country, period. I am tired of the ELITE of this country and their bands of buffoons that think their $$$ should reap a better deal .......................... What say you ?
Do you expect the airlines to post who is on board what flight for the public to see too? That would go over well.
ELITISTS??
Yeah, those ELITISTS who either employ directly or cause people to be employed.
Go to Wichita, KS and talk to the the 4,600 Cessna employees out of work. Talk to the 2,800 laid off Hawker Beechcraft workers. They will tell you what Im going to tell you----ITS GOOD WHEN THE RICH HAVE MONEY AND CAN SPEND IT.
Somebody bashed these "elite" over the automaker bailout fiasco and people like those in Wichita as well as countless pilots, mechanics, fuelers, FBO employees, and a lot of other people paid for it. Aircraft plant workers, hotel workers, the list goes on.
Talk to me, who has provided for his family because someone decided to fly a private aircraft. (non-blocked number, not that it matters).
Guess what, I have taxpayer dollars too---and Im ok with it.
