Ever wonder what things would be like if the current people trying to "redesign our country" were put in charge of redesigning airplanes? Here's how it might go:

Socialist: "It's not fair that Boeings get to hold more fuel than Bombardiers. Effective immediately, all Boeings will be limited to holding no more than 20,000 lbs of fuel."

Capitalist: "But then Boeings would have to fly shorter distances, or carry fewer people."

Socialist: "20,000 lbs of fuel is plenty. They don't need more to fly. They'll be just fine without the extra. In fact, all extra fuel that would have been put on Boeings will be put on the RJs, just to make it fair."

Capitalist: "But then the RJs will be wasteful and inefficient, if you just load them up with free fuel."

Socialist: "It's called shared sacrifice. We're all in this together."

I love this "change you can believe in." Definitely would work out better.
 
Oh, I don't know. Here's one socialist-designed airplane. Full FBW long before either the A320 or the 777.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. It's gonna be a long and painful one folks. As the racist Louis Faracon said about Obama: "....the Anointed One has come." Scary stuff.
 
Whoa once again my pilot friends need to get a dose of truth. The man you speak of has been president for what less than two months. Come on a 1 trillion dollar plus deficit was inherited with over 10 trillion dollars in debt. 2 wars which I can personally attest to one being a big mistake. And an economy not only in a deep recession but a recession with a lack of consumer and corporate credibility. The last 8 years where spent living high of the hog and dipping into our supposed rich houses with easy stupid money while we ignored all of our problems. I really should go on but I'm going out to work on my business by nurturing it and doing what I have to do to get things done while all the Bush dead beats beg for their wall street bail out which we are almost being forced to give them or risk a complete death of the credit market. WSJ put out a poll yesterday showing over 80 percent believes in Obama. I am one of those 80 percent.
