I answered this question two or three times to the Chairman of C44. I answered it the same way every time it was asked. The rumors of any financial stake are 100% dead wrong and without truth.

On DPA:

Never publicly or privately supported them. Never sent in a card, nor money. Do not believe they are the answer for the Delta Pilots.

On the BBQ: It was a nice day in ATL for a BBQ. Do not follow the DPA web site. Knew of no BBQ. Again C44 Chairman asked me that, and I clarified the statement on here at his request. I rescued two beagle pups that day. That was how nice of a day it was here in ATL that given day.
Guess I have blinders on; would have thought someone could run for the position without having to pass muster with the man at the top. I'm sure some can easily cite justification for such a system, but it seems eerily like something the Politburo would have in place.

Whoever he is, he's definitely not a DAWGS fan. Maybe he's an upset vols fan. I'd be studying that even with an ugly rocky top orange T helmet.

As you can see by the outpouring of unionoids today, they like their treehouse and don't want to let anyone in that doesn't want to play the same game they are playing.

Nah, just a typical Gawga fan that got drunk after beating another unranked team.

It's only been since 2009 since they beat a team that was good enough to end the season ranked.

Dude... they had Herschel Walker. They should be in the BCS every year, dawg.

That being said, I approve of that party.

Comair 5191- FO- only survivor

Colgan 3407- CA- all fatal
Wonderful. Not familiar with the MKE incident, but the other three are pretty chilling in that the individuals' poor habits and training make you feel like you're watching a deliberate crash. Watch the animations and/or listen to the respective transcripts, and you feel the triumph of pure stupidity over sound engineering, unimpaired by any judgment or skills.

"Perception is reality."

The wheels on the bus go round and round. Until they don't, or until Toonces the cat gets behind the wheel.

Can anyone give me a reason why this AA thing ends well?
