Northwest Airlines http://www.nwa.com is _not_ among those airlines
who have applied for and received so-called "bailout" funds from the
Federal Government, nor are any of the other largest US Airlines, with
the exception of UAL who have yet to have any of their applications
approved.

The 319-320-321 series of Airbus aircraft fit the needs, and the pocket
books, of the several US Airlines who operate them better than the
competing models from Boeing. Sorry about that. Perhaps your company
operates differently and doesn't mind subsidizing competing suppliers
whose products/prices don't quite measure up to your needs. The
stockholders of NWA do not agree. The 40,000 employees of NWA are glad
that they are not among those workers whose airlines have declared
bankruptcy.

I prefer to "buy American" myself, and I wish that no Airbus aircraft
had ever been sold to a US Airline, but then I don't have to answer to a
Board of Directors nor a horde of stockholders about purchasing
decisions. Do you own and drive US-made automobiles Frank, or even ones
constructed primarily in N. America? I hope so.

Well don't be afraid to take a hard look at the tail-feathers
before you board one.

How they ever got a single Airbus piece of crap in
the air is beyond me.
It simply proves that you can undercut any decent aircraft
on price
and the Airlines will go for it. No wonder the Airlines
can't survive!

O yes... Everything which hasn't been made in America
must be crap...

ROTFL!

No, no, not at all. I love my 'Skeeter. Just Air
Bust is crap :-)

It appears that many of you have not read the new rules. As a CFI, if
the worst that I have to do is check someones birth certificate, I
expect I can live with that. If it keeps ONE rag head from trying to

Abolishing general aviation completely would accomplish that.

Pass a law to force all privately owned light aircraft in any
shape or form to be handed in to the authorities for destruction
within the next six months. No exceptions. Including of course
microlights, gliders, hang-gliders, balloons etc.

Yes, that would keep probably more than one potential terrorist
from making the attempt.

Worth it ? You tell me.

PS. As the next step in the program we could do away with aviation
altogether. Mankind survived for thousands of years without it.

He's also a lawyer. Sounds scary, then I think about W at the stick.
Glad I didn't live in Texas back in his guard days (or now for FTM).

suspect that many of those who say it infringes on their civil
liberties would be the first to ask why more wasn't done to gaurd
against suicide pilots, should something happen in the future with a
light airplane.

That's right. Just think if some foreign terrorist like Timothy McVeigh,
Terry Nichols, Ted Kazenski (Yea I probably spelled the names wrong) had
been able to get ahold of an airplane. This is sure to stop those kinds of
people....

And if it doesn't, is it still worth it?
