1261 days to go!

Typical boomer cowardice.

Big windfall for them, screw everyone else. What else to expect from the most spoiled generation ever?

On the plus side, I have now become a fan of obamacare, mostly because I am not a boomer, if you get my drift. Every cloud has a silver lining.

I don't think any of us know what a government takeover of health care will really mean in the long run. I hope its not managed with the same enthusiasm we see at the TSA.

How many pilots have been retired in the last 200+ days?

Good for aviation I think.

The more water cannons, the better!!

Not enough...

The unfortunate death of the UAL Capt over BOI and subsequent divert will have an impact on any thought of increasing the age limit, as told to me by my AME. That and other high profile events hurt future chances of an increase. ICAO got their increase, but future increases may be tough to justify.


Bye Bye---General Lee

right and when a 55 year old has a heart attack well that is OK, and not a safety issue

In a manner of speaking, you're exactly right. How old is the pilot who is the last one flying? That's the question. That number used to be young enough that we knew it was safe. Now it's becoming doubtful.

Age 65 hurt.....but nothing like what's coming with the 1000 wide body Dubai orders. Flooding the world with cheap government funded seats. It will kill international competition and the pending pilot shortage.

This. We need to refocus our collective efforts on where the real threat lies.

Now if Emirates would just offer home basing, wouldn't that be sweet. (and limo service to and from the airport of course)

I saw the sweet, sweet sight of water cannons today. On more chance for me to get into the majors.

The big hiring wave is here. Get your stuff out. Delta should be your first choice.

 

[Remington]

Delta is my first choice! I love the gold bedazzled double breasted suit jackets. Can I wear that year round when I get hired? I'm used to boring khakis and golf shirts. Im looking forward to 10 hot stews on every leg! Good bye tiny white jet, hello big Boeings! Good bye FBO popcorn, hello zebra meat!!

Water cannons, water cannons, rinsing off my new seat.
