Single pilot, flag of convenience was always coming no matter what. Cheap mass travel is far more important to the economy, than well paid pilots. If a car can drive itself, an airplane can certainly fly with one less pilot.

The new SoT is NOT going to be operating in a vacuum and do whatever she wants in spite of the incoming administration's #1 campaign theme "fair deal for the American worker(s)".

And the Heritage Foundation is not going to be running the gov't.

Geez. :rolleyes:

Campaign theme is right. But the campaign is over... No need to keep promises.

:/

I love when people open their mouths and remove all doubt. So, where exactly did you go to school and what did you study? My first degree was engineering. And like 99.9% of scientifically trained people I know climate change is happening and that it has been brought on by human activity since the start of the Industrial Revolution. It's no longer a debate. Only fools don't acknowledge and accept our impact.

If you thought I was implying it then I wasn't obvious enough.

The loss of our pensions had everything to do with government policy. 9-11 was only the catalyst.

The people rising to power again are either the exact same people or they hold the same beliefs regarding labor policy.

People actually believe aviation pensions disappeared because of a terrorist attack? Wow.

Someone who is "scientifically" trained would never make that statement.

What is it our new leader likes to say? Oh yeah, wrong. It's no longer a debate. It's happening and it's quantifiable and provable. The only debate is how the climate will change and what effect that will have upon all creatures inhabiting this planet. The consenus so far is not a good one. Plenty of people chose to believe the Earth was flat for some time. Just like the many who chose to believe the Earth was the center of the universe despite Copernicus and his elegant proofs otherwise. And just like many fundamental religious idiots today choose to believe the Earth has only been around for six thousand years. Choose to believe that we don't impact the climate if you want. Just don't let your "beliefs" get in the way of grown ups who are trying to make the world a better place for all in it and all yet to come.

That, sir, is a very mild and accurate response. Only fools won't acknowledge and accept the truth of your observation here.

See there? It's happening and it's quantifiable and provable. :D

SpeedyVagabond 11-30-2016 11:19 AM

Yeah I don't like you much either SayAlt. Like DirtyRat before you, I'd like to welcome you to my ignore list. Normally I suffer people I don't like because I may learn something of value from them. In your case I'm certain I won't.

Do you see where you converted a possible problem into a political movement, and not a good one at that?
