Not regarding anything specific here boom, just a hunch.

Airline worker claiming to be federal agent pulls driver over... | www.wftv.com

I get the impression some of these guys would be to quick to inject themselves into a hostile situation.
(again I say some)

I'm not saying you're wrong, just disagreeing that APC is the place to air that laundry.

Every agency/deparement/type of government person with firearms has their collective percentile of unacceptable behavior. What you have to do to be fair is to look at it on a per capita basis. No one argues the need for cops, but we have a few absolute Training Day psychopaths out there and people die sometimes as a result. No one argues the need for soldiers, yet Sergeant Bales incidents do happen. If you want to judge one particular program based on a juicy incident or two, be fair and do the same for all of them. The results of your diligence just might open your eyes a bit.

How about those guys warning the nation of the pilot shortage. Thats my recommendation.

I nominate the veteran 777 skipper who took early retirement, taking a job with Ethiopian Airlines being paid only $60 US per day per diem. And that’s while he is doing his line training too!

How’s that for raising the bar folks:mad:?

Agree with all that. My comments weren't targeted towards the program. I was just generalizing on a handful of individuals who exhibited tool-like tendencies.

I feel like a tool having to explain that in this thread.
