I’m surprised he didn’t call her “Sweetie”. 

Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

And is a boomer with 12 kids.

Seriously, women pilots, male flight attendants, women doctors, male nurses*, what is this world coming to?!?!

Does he look like the dim-bulb son of the owner of a chain of rural auto dealerships?

I’m surprised he didn’t call her ‘sweetheart’ and then ask her to bring him a Scotch and water.

If he wants to run with stereotypes, let me just say he looks EXACTLY like I expected.

I am shocked, shocked I say, to learn that this guy is a Republican. /s

This is my point, although you made it better and in more depth. His death is much worse for Boeing than him being alive.  He’s done his damage and killing him now just causes discussions like the ones being had.

The only reasons Boeing would do it are that they felt what he was still going to say would be absolutely 100% guaranteed to ruin them, or that they are just incredibly stupid.

Aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia has openly wondered if their current strategy is just to milk existing products as much as they can before breaking off the different portions of their business and selling it off. Because their current business strategy doesn’t make much sense otherwise, especially killing off…

Indeed. And in the unlikely chance they DID have something to do with it... yikes. The lights are shining on them now, that’s for sure. 

I’m not normally one to argue in favor of nationalizing a business rather than regulating it, but if this man was murdered to stop him from telling everyone how they skirted the regulations...

No matter the actual cause of death, yeah, the optics are *really* fucking bad for Boeing.

“It’s as if a million 13-year-old boys cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.”

“Eugen Vidineac, the Tates’ counsel, said there’s “no truth” to what Ross read live, ardently expressing the brothers’ intent to “actively [participate] in the legal process” in order to defend their reputation.”

Here’s hoping he gets thrown into a max-sec prison to spend the rest of his life as someone’s bitch — a punishment that piece of shit so richly deserves.

It’s early yet, but I alreadyt say best news of the week.

I agree. The other thing to consider is that some people struggle to make it through the TSA checkpointeven with a TSA agent barking commands and telling them how to do it. Now imagine those same people trying to do it on their own...good luck.
