I just fly airplanes

It's those durn monorties taking all our jobs! Picking crops, cleaning motel rooms...you know, the kind of minimum-wage jobs that Decent White People are lining up around the block for...🙄

What's the difference between legal and illegal, and law vs. lawlessness?

Perhaps you can point out to me what other federal law I can break and then claim racism/bigotry/hate?

California doesn't qualify as an "American" state?!?!?



Last I looked there were 50 states. Does this mean there are really 49 and those in your imaginary 50th can go ******* themselves?



Nice "democracy" you have going on here...



Venezuela, here we come!



We don't live in a true democracy, one person one vote. We live in a democratic republic. Where each state gets a certain amount of votes depending on their population, California being the most populous, getting the most votes. If all 30 million people in California voted for Clinton and therefore having an overwhelming popular vote count, it still wouldn't make her president. Conversely, anyone winning 50%+1 of the votes in the largest 11 states would be president.

I dont know when the thread divert happened as is often the case here, but...I think the media is absolutely to blame for the public's bad opinion of the airlines lately. I mean, take the DL incident in ATL...90% of the headlines read "pilot punches passenger" or something similar. Total BS. There are thousands of flights every day that go without incident, but a few airline videos go viral and the general public loses their minds.

You make a good point. I was watching the news the other day and they were reporting on the family with the birthday cake that got booted.

I'll be honest and I didn't follow up, but the news reports it like the family was just minding their own business and got jacked for trying to put a birthday cake in the overhead.

Jet Blue was saying the reason they got booted was because they were verbally abusive to the flight crew.

The problem with trial by media is that the video footage that the public gets is usually taken after most of the offense has taken place. What it then looks like is a calm passenger being unnecessarily confronted by either law enforcement or crew members.

I don't know what happened. Aircrew obviously needs to respect our passengers. That respect needs to go both ways.

We cannot let our crews be subject to disrepect or disregard and then let an incomplete video be the last word about what happened.
