You are.

Every time you put gas in your car.

Every time you vote for politicians who deride alternative energy and vow to cut US government funding for scientific research into alternative energy.

Every time you vote for politicians who are bought and paid for by the petroleum industry.

So next time you find yourself chanting 'Drill, baby, drill"...you are only perpetuating the dependence on petroleum-based fuels...

...that allow the ME3 carriers to receive such heavy subsidies and claw market share away from US airlines.
Oh look a democrat.

So all that jet fuel burned when you go to work, that's what, unicorn farts and rainbows? 'Tard.

If you've ever actually been to the Middle East you'd know Dubai barely ticks the needle as an oil exporter.

Nothing the other US Carriers haven't been doing for 40 years.

Surprised you didn't throw in some "climate change" hysteria in that little rant.

I'm being preached to about switching to alternative energy...
...by the guy who's name is "TURBOSINA" ?!??

Next a guy named "Budweiser" will tell me that beer makes me fat, and I should drink more water instead.

Turbosina is correct in saying that the USA subsidizes the ME3 Carriers, but not for the reasons he stated.

It's in the Billions$$$ dudes and dudettes, and they screw us with it.

?

He wrote a factual piece on oil exports and revenue for Dubai. Angry much?

Typhoon has spent time as an American regional pilot, legacy airline pilot, and Emirates. Now has since left to pursue other opportunities. His posts are well thought out and polite, even if you don't agree with it.

Part of the reason he responds is, there is so much misinformation, garbage and urban legends about the ME that ALPA and the like have put out. He is probably one of a few that have done it all, as Shyguy suggests. He is well respected by his peers and on *************. A voice of reason. Tool? That is just a laugh. He knows of what he speaks.
