I will never fly with Andrew. More importantly, how could anyone fly with this guy knowing that he may hate everything about you and want you ‘un-alived’? I’m not willing to take that risk (and neither should UAL).

What democrat lawmakers were killed in June? The one in Minnesota that sided that was assassinated by a Democrat appointee because she sided with Republicans on a voting measure? The only people that criticized her were Democrats.

The problem here is that praising the assassination of anyone is reprehensible and, IMHO, a sign of mental issues. Which is grounds for removal of his medical. Germanwings comes to mind.

Now, we all have little demons in our heads that sometimes are in the forefront of our thoughts. But as pilots, we are held to a higher standard than the general public and are expected to keep our 'fecal matter' together. Put another way, be able to stow all of our baggage underneath the seat in front of us. If a pilot has difficulty controlling those demons, they would be well served to not post on the internet.

No matter which side of the political spectrum one resides, violence and the praise of violent actions is unacceptable.

Let this young man's actions serve as a lesson for all of us. Don't let hate consume you. Be smart, be safe, and consider calling/telling your loved ones that you love them..

Make it make sense!

Until many of you can realize that there are far to many guns in the US, acts like this will continue to happen.

At this point talk is cheap, there is a very real problem in this country with gun ownership and without action completely innocent people will continue to be unnecessarily murdered. Next it could be one of us, your kid at school, a democrat law marker, or all people Charles Kirk.

I hope you are wrong. I can't imagine working with him or the public knowing that he was flying a jet.
