The political innuendo with its negative expressions here is becoming something of a norm. Can you imagine how these mental midgets making these comments would have responded to the choice of Winston Churchill as England’s Prime Minister with all his baggage or the choice of Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Ronald Reagan, both entertainers, to their respective positions?
We, talking here about pilots, are all (insert your own adjective here) resentful of the FAA. And yes, they did screw-up big-time with the Boeing Max and elsewhere. But we still have the safest, most efficient air travel “opportunities” in the world! If you doubt this, cross the pond and start paying everytime you key your mic. It’s natural to resent authority and the FAA has been heavy-handed in exercising their authority lately, but perhaps what is needed is a little good old-fashioned leadership there. And just maybe that leadership is more precious than log books filled with flight hours and ratings.
I agree with Bill R. and John W. Can we give the man a chance? And while we are at it, can we all return to thinking in terms of brotherhood of pilots instead of hateful, politically laced innuendo?
