OP ED-"Little Timmy Wants to Know Why Nobody Likes Airplanes Anymore?


Recommended Posts

Every one is asked and aswered why i disagree in this thread Soundbit. You and your lefty friend have fun basking in your percieved bliss. I live in realsville.

 

I'm not saying that everything is rosy - because they are not. There are many areas of the administrations that are fairly screwed up, starting with foreign policy, and yet, the budget.

 

All I seek with the list is acknowledgement that there is some truth to the items compared to where we were at this time in 2008.

Here is the story people. Massive Federal budget passed with minimal debate. More debt. More of the same in Washington. If you want a rosey picture you need to go to a different theatre. I would walk out of the movie, but I live it every day. You can try and revise and lie for the incompetence coming out of D.C.

I wont.

 

Only thing you live every day is the fact your job has not been replaced by software yet so you don't get to say, would you like any fries with that, yet. Coming soon to an insurance company near you.

Actually, about all you've got since in the entire history of this country, we had a balanced budget 3 or 4 times. We're not the ones grasping at the straws and living in alternate reality. One day, you might, although highly unlikely, pick up a book on economics, and understand the theory of original sin and what makes US and Japan exceptional: we don't have any debt what so ever. We never borrowed a dime, yet. BTW, exceptional is the term borrowed from you. But let me repeat myself. We have no debt. Not one penny.

Hey AssfromCB-NOPE

Naw, I will just drive a grain truck for ADM or General Mills, or Quaker, or Cargill or Penford.....

I already did my fry gig. Fun while it lasted.

Let me know, good friend (aka ass kisser) with CEOs of 2 of above mentioned companies. Maybe we can keep you right under the limit, so you can still qualify for some food stamps. You can start a revolution, show up with pitch forks at your favorite gated community and hold a big sign,with your demands ("we're here to lower your taxes"). They'd surely appreciate it.

And alas, I shall never provide you that validation...

Hundreds of years of oil....Not 5 years. Ha Ha. Kooky. Cancel all subsidies and redo tax system with a flat tax. No incentives.

 

How many years of cancer, birth defects, polluted ground water and superfund sites to be paid for by the taxpayer. I have no problem with ND oil as long for every barrel out of the ground they deposit a few hundred to be held in escrow in case the "minimal environmental damage" turns out not to be so.

Just got done with my favorite past time, Fox during lunch. The subject was airline baggage fees and the billions airlines took in from them. A graphic was overlayed which displayed how much each airline made on baggage fees for the year. Delta was displayed at 654,708 and the pretty blonde turned to Start Varney and said "look at that, Delta made six hundred and fifty four thousand dollars on baggage fees alone". Gretchen darling, that's 654 million dollars.

In the what a joke category it looks like we will have a 69 year old wife of a confirmed cheating, liar going up against a wishy washy displaced moderate that loves Common Core.

Way to go GOP. Last time you went up against him with daddy you got hammered. Why? because he raised taxes after providing a great sound bite that he wouldn't...Liar...and barfed on some Japenese at a state dinner...Awesome.

He also couldn't wear shades and play sax.

 

 

As you may know by now, I'm no fan of Hillary.

 

Given your druthers, who would you like to see on the GOP ticket?

A like-minded individual. A conservative. Chance of that? Slim. Not since Reagan has an "outsider" gotten the nod from the inner GOP sanctum. Rising with the shenanigan's by both parties and NOT doing the will of the people.

I am enjoying Russia's state of affairs and wondering what his move will be to retain the cult of personality.

Maybe he will turn select regions of the middle east to glass. Gee, I wonder what Berry would do?

Hey Vlad, don't do that again, O.K? Pretty please?

 

Certainly you must have a name or two?

A couple of years ago I was asked to participate in a career fair at the local high school. A retired American Airline pilot and I manned the Aviation Booth. It's a fairly large school and they also bused over kids from the local Jr. High. It was pretty disappointing - although all of the high school kids walked passed the booth at one time or another, a grand total of TWO kids came and spent time with us talking about career possibilities. One of those kids was working on her private license. It was a pretty disappointing turnout. I've thought about the reason(s) for this and I'm guessing there are many. 

 

Personally, I don't think GA is in it's death throws, but it is certainly being stressed. How can young people afford $150+ per hour dual rental rates or the ownership costs while they are in their career building years, especially when the airlines and business is in the state it's in? It has always taken a certain amount of career fixation and tenacity to make a successful career in aviation, perhaps even more so now.

It's getting even better for Little Timmy!

Thanks to a hodgepodge patchwork, political compromise fix taking years and years of spells potents and conjuring from the boiling witch cauldron in Washington DC, initiated as a knee jerk response to quell public concern stemming from an accident caused by a guy who apparently didn't recognize icing conditions, stall characteristics or practice sound stall recovery techniques ... It now is HARDER THAN EVER for new pilots to get enough experience to span the now larger chasm between a commercial license and an airline job.

In addition, they did come up with this turd they call Part 117, which now lets airline pilots, fly harder and longer days and weeks. The new rules are so convoluted that it is nearly impossible for the individual pilot to track without an computer app. So we work harder longer, and each have to sign a release prior to each flight stating we are "fit for duty" subject to Federal Regulations Part blah blah blah .... and are dependent on others to tell us when we are not legal to fly. Nice government "progress." I am really impressed!

Here's how they think up there:

"It is not that the guy didn't recognize icing, a stall, or know to properly recover. It's that they were just too tired to recognize and recover from a stall? So we'll make it so they can block even more hours each week, but make them declare they are "fit." And we'll make it even harder to be an airline pilot! You know you didn't really recognize that stall when you passed your PPL proficiency evaluation! You need thousands more hours to recognize a stall! We have the answers to aviation here in Washington DC. Oh yes we do!"

 

Scotty, Daver,

 

I have a great idea for you. Don't be an airline pilot. Works for me. Done for the week. Sipping on some Duckhorn here in JH.

 

You both seem to posses so much clairvoyance. Being that forecasting the future appears to be such gift the Lord equipped both of you with, I'm sure, the Lord has also equipped you all with a knowledge of 'puts' and 'going short'. Combine those two market tools with your clairvoyance and soon enough, you will have no worries and it will be your pilots here on Mooneyspace bitching about the minimum wage they get paid to fly Scott around Kansas attending all the tea party fund raisers. But until then, until such time when you actually put whatever few miserable dollars you managed to acquire during your life where your mouth is, just shut the fuck up.
