VP Biden advises against flying.

:bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Joe Merchant, the uniter, posts this on the majors and not on the regionals.

I posted this here because someone else already posted this on the regional board....This stupid comment by Biden will hurt ALL of us...

Joe Merchant, who spends more time on the majors board than the regional board.

I spend as much time on this board as you do on the regional board...What's your point?

Joe Merchant, who doesn't want a job at a major.

Joe Merchant who would take a job at a major, as long as he can keep his seniority date.

I don't want to be at the bottom of any seniority list in this environment....especially while the VP goes around telling people not to fly....But that isn't the point of the original post....

Joe Merchant, who ran around ASA telling people they were foolish to leave Delta, for they would be junior to people they were once senior to.

Never said it....yet another "urban legend" from DALPA land....

The point of the original thread was to point out how well this "pro labor" administration is helping out us airline pilots....This comment will hurt ALL of us....Us "scooter" drivers and you "real" pilots.....

Apparently you missed out on the last 8 years. I may give you that Joe has the runniest mouth, but I'll take his foreign policy experience over what we had for the last 8 years.

Regardless, it wasn't really the point of my post.

You just hijacked the thread to:bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Did Joe plagiarize his remarks from a John Candy movie? Joe's staff must work around the clock to try to minimize the damage this idiot does by his strange, ridiculous and out right dumb comments. Is this moron really one heart beat away from being President?

This Joe famous comments, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. February 9, 2007.

Yeah, ok.

YAWN! You're a plagiarizer as well. Never could have seen that one coming.

In a question of 10 independent, former ASA pilots vs 1 current, I'll go with the 10 former.

Like shoot'in fish in a barrel.

Urban legend nothing. Try modern day truth.

Congrats, it's the airlines' turn now. This administration has already bashed the corporate aviation world into submission.

Maybe the Obama administration isn't as pro union as some of you guys thought....

I don't think they are "pro" anyone that makes over 30K per year. Union or not.

 

[scarlet]

Well maybe the teleprompter broke...?

Look at what happens on youtube when Obama's teleprt. broke....

 

[regionaltard]

Is diarrhea of the mouth one of the symptoms of swine flu? Might be to late for ol' Joe.

 

[Draginass]

Biden is a conceited arrogant jerk with a big mouth. Always has been. Always will be. This is just the start. Almost four more years of comedy to come.

 

[DUBLINFLYER]

Why doesn't Obama send him to a Sandals Club (far away) and let him drink his way throught the next four years, he would be to engrossed in the free booze and food that he would not have the time to comment on stuff he knows nothing about

 

[michael707767]

I gotta agree with Joe on this one, Puff.... Joe Biden has gotta be the biggest dumb@$$ in the history of the white house.

Of all the mistakes I think Obama has made, I think the choice of Biden was his biggest mistake.

 

[contrail67]

And this is part of the Democratic vote that ALPA supported...nice.

 

[CatfishVT9]

Of all the mistakes I think Obama has made, I think the choice of Biden was his biggest mistake.

No, it was the smartest choice he's ever made. Lots of people who despise our socialist president pray for his safety every night.

Why? Two words: "President Biden"

 

[~~~^~~~]

Joe Biden does an excellent job of the Vice President's job of making the President look terrific.

So what's Janet Napolitano going to say next to retake the lead from Joe Biden in the weekly gaffe-off?

After his flu warning, Biden takes the train home

switchFont(1,"smallText");



WASHINGTON -One day after saying he wouldn't travel in tight quarters because of the swine flu scare, Vice President Joe Biden rode a train Friday from Washington to Delaware.
Known for speaking freely, Biden told NBC's "Today" show on Thursday that he had urged family members to avoid airplanes and subways for fear of contracting the H1N1 flu virus.
"I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now," Biden said.
The comments infuriated the travel industry and triggered several revisions from the Obama administration, whose official advice is less severe.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano commented, "If he could say that over again, he would say if they're feeling sick, they should stay off of public transit or confined spaces."
By Friday night, Biden seemed ready for his own do-over. A longtime rider of Amtrak, he took a train from Union Station to his Delaware home, his office said.

[sleeves]

Do you guys think he is the only person to think or say this? To me this is common sense. If a virus is running around getting people sick stay away from the places it is transmitted the easiest. Aircraft have a lot of people in a confined space breathing recycled air.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

That's not the issue, sleeves. He's in a leadership position and has to actually think about the implications of what he says.... or at least is supposed to.

"...Aircraft have a lot of people in a confined space breathing recycled air."

Well done, sir!
