Obama SAVED us from Bush. The previous administration left us so close to the edge of the abyss it would scare you silly. I'm not saying Obama saved us, but McCain would have drove us off the edge with more of the same GOP agenda. So, in the sense that Obama won and prevented the GOP from advancing more of the status quo, I guess Obama did save us.

You've got to be kidding!!!! It's really simple . . . when politicians think they can improve on the 'natural' law of supply and demand - and improve on the free enterprise system, they ALWAYS fail !!

Look at history :

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

I agree with all of that. I just really really hate Bush. I already apologized for the post you quoted as a drunk rant. Sorry again. What do you want?

I still hate Bush / Cheney, but so what? This is a pilot forum, not a political forum. I'll do my best to curb future rantings. I wish others would do the same...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the apparent abundance of NJ aircraft simply being "parked" at various airports?

There are two or three at my home base, and it's quite obvious since they are well away from the FBO AND...the kicker...they have the ENGINE COVERS INSTALLED!

How much of the fleet has been parked?

 

[gunfyter]

Must be a Pilot Shortage ....

Hey Broke--with all that flight time and all those ratings--how come your broke? Wine, women and song?

 

[brokeflyer]

its not broke as in money....it's broke as in mechanicly. I've had a few things on a plane break that management thought in their perfect expert wisdom were perfectly normal.

It's not a suprise why the economy and aviation is the way it is. We have people running companies and financial institutions that somewhat lack a certain level of intelligence.

Broke, did you really fly the concorde? If so, how old are you?

 

[cherry20's]

Don't think Braniff or NWA had any Concords...

 

[Willy21]

Braniff did fly the concord on a program with British Airways I believe. I don't know if the Braniff crews flew the airplane.

Note the remarks. OB Braniff = operated by Braniff if my memory is correct.

IF he flew the Concorde he's not necessarily THAT old. A friend of mine has flown with a bunch of retired Concorde drivers at EasyJet in the UK within the last couple of years. Said it was some of the most relaxed, yet professional dudes he ever flew with. Guess they've got nothing to prove.

Must be nice to collect BA retirement on top of EZ captain pay :beer:.

that is why I took the early out.....no need for to have that while junior guys are sweating a furlough

 

[Helmsalee]

Yes, Braniff crews flew the Concorde. BA crew would cross the pond to IAD(I think) and a Braniff crew would take the plane on to Dallas. The US leg had to be flown subsonic though.:bawling:

that is correct.

 

[clydefastly]

Hey Broke, did you ever get to fly the Concorde supersonic?

 

[brokeflyer]

Hey Broke, did you ever get to fly the Concorde supersonic?

not "offically"....hahaha


no, only in a sim.

 

[clydefastly]

Just out of curiosity how does it compare(in general) in performance to the X at subsonic cruise?

 

[brokeflyer]

its been MANY MANY years, there was a very large performance gap i went through back then up to 10 yrs ago when i got the X. But I do remember not having any performance problems AT ALL. Climbing at .95 was kinda nifty.

 

[brokeflyer]

anyone else think its kinda crappy to take a week vacation in MVY while the country is in shambles?

maybe AT LEAST do some ground breaking legislature, then go take a break.

I voted for Obama and I feel like a kid who just found out Santa isnt real.
