Default Pilots: I think you'll like this!

The March of Dimes is currently holding an online auction for an
unbelievable opportunity - Especially for flying enthusiasts! This
auction will allow someone to fly first class from their home, have
dinner with top Continental and Boeing executives, stay at the
Renaissance in Seattle, tour the Boeing plant and fly on an exclusive
ferry flight on Continental's brand new, never been flown before 777.
You can go to www.marchofdimes.com/flight to see what I mean!

Screw top Continental and Boeing executives, and the airplanes they rode in
on, too.

My, my, Dan, feeling crusty today? ;-)

Personally, I'd LOVE to eat their food, drink their booze, fly their
plane, and tell them what idiots they are for moving their corporate
headquarters to King Daley's Chicago...

Damn right. These guys are out to control the national airspace and run it
for their benefit. "Screw" is a much nicer word than I wanted to use.

I can think of a few other things I'd like to tell them.

On this issue the FAA is motivated by their boss, the guy who lives in the
big white house.

The company I work for is moving into their building in Chicago. I'd promise
to give them all of our regards but I think we are going to have our own
entrance and set of elevators.

Yes...but what is their motivation? What is the motivation for any
bureaucrat compared to a private corporation?
