Yeah - I'm with you on the Arab spring reaction. However, we've created IS (formerly ISIS) with our approach in the region. So the conservative approach to the region hasn't exactly stabilized the situation.

Kind of off the topic....

If you listen to the carriers quarterly wall street conference calls, you'll hear the truth about their views. Everything else they say to their customers and to the feds is BS.

In my experience, those who say "suck it up, buttercup" don't fly too often, and have little experience with other countries security programs.

Interesting!

I met a guy a few years back who worked on GlobalHawk. His story was actually pretty funny. He said that the program team who developed GlobalHawk had not ever developed a piloted airplane before.

Can I get some love for some old skool cheapness?

The cop was totally chill about the situation. Well done to the police on this one.

I travel constantly. I have loved to hate on GM products in the rental fleet for years. But lately, Toyota has taken the top spot. The Camry's that I've rented are really quite disappointing.

I gotta jump on the screw frontier bandwagon.

Life rings every ten feet on the bridge - safety first!

No mention of Bahamas Air?

All that brine on a lovely new truck. It's going look like it spent the winter in Vermont!

While I appreciate the value of this technology in this case, I worry about it's abuse.

My Kid approves this post.

This tail number was produced in 2012... brand spanking new. That means it had the new glass cockpit that was supposed to have software to make overshooting the runway impossible. No mention of weather issues on the approach. It will be interesting to read the analysis on this one.

Mirabel airport is AWESOME.

So totally agree.
