"bird Strike" Faa

[BLing]

The FAA will find that the birds are not in compliance with the FARs. They will ground all bird flights until they apply for their "flight proficient" endorsements on the newly issued bird certificates. Then the FAA will A/D all birds requiring them to have mode C transponders and then make them file flight plans. The airlines will then complain that the birds should have to pay 2/3 the cost of the ATC system and landing fees. United Airlines will lower their airfare in order to compete with the bird's cost. SouthWest will RFP the birds for small wing lift and won't have a need to hedge fuel. MESA will trap the birds and force them to fly for seeds. ALPA will try and unionize the birds. The birds will become divided and begin walking thereby screwing everyone. Dumb FAA.

Dont forget about English proficiency

Rumor from reliable sources within a certain investigation says that the birds were squawking before the mid-air with the airliner. Some suggest they were honking, too.

I'm thinking we need to start painting bald eagles and/or hawks in full spread across the noses of aircraft, or maybe border collies. I've got just the picture on my wall, too.

Here's an idea. Let's pay regional FO's $0.50 a carcass to go out and kill all the birds they can find. NO BIRDS = NO BIRD STRIKES. The smart ones will avoid the airports.
