Each and every one of them should issue apologies for their irresponsible reporting (and being the cause of our Delta stock --if you still have it-- taking a $10 hit within a week.)

None of them deserve anyone's defense, because they all suck.


That's right. I said it.
Absolutely 100% spot on, newK!

I don't think he's giving it a 100% pass as much as he's saying that Fox News presents a contrived contrast of the news against other media outlets. Trust me, there is plenty of shows on Fox News I can't stomach, but I think the network plays an invaluable role.

If majority of news organizations leaned right, I would say the same about MSNBC.

Honestly, majority of news reported these days is driven at being sensational in an attempt to gum up knee-jerk emotional responses from the public. Journalistic integrity free of bias is for all intensive purposes gone.

But who knows, after 80 hours in Ghana I could be ebolaing myself.

It really is hard to keep up with the changes in callouts and procedures and the freaking manuals keep growing in size. Just did CQ and I forgot how big (and different) Vol 1 FOM and the FCTM have become. All you guys complaining about our manuals and the "big bubble" cockpit seem to have "won the argument" Uggh
Come on guys it's not that hard...... Just bid a new plane and go to the schoolhouse for assimilation.

I do agree though....... Having just come through a training event the chatter in the cockpit is crazy. I find this to especially be true during our most critical phases of the operation! While I think briefing things are good we should focus on the importance of the brief not the laundry list someone has devised.
