Where is Chuck Yeager and Howard Hughes when we need them?


I cannot attest to Howard Hughes, but I have heard and met Mr. Yeager
and he was definitely a gentleman. I've never heard him utter a bigoted
or racist remark and he certainly writes with passion, but more
eloquence than Mr. Biff.

While there may be truth to Mr. Biff's claim of more money spent by the
FAA on diversity than aviation, references would be a lot more
persuasive than rhetoric. There may also be some truth to diversity
quashing competence in the aviation industry, but such a racist tone at
that taken by Mr. Biff only fuels the fires of those pushing diversity
at the cost of competence.

I think Mr. Yeager would care less about the color of a person's skin or
their gender, and would place great value on their ingenuity,
responsibility, and competence. We should all be so magnanimous.
