They're human. For every drunk pilot up flying that day there were probably
thousands of drivers on the road that were over the legal limit. It's not
that pilots are more or less intelligent than the general population, it's
that right now every damn thing that any pilot does that is stupid is going to
get national attention. It's myopic, unfair and ridiculous, but that's what's
happening.

i saw the story on cbs and agree it was a sloppy one sided piece of
crap, but don't worry .


Absolutely. A far worse problem for us is the seemingly endless stream of
moronic pilots who continue to bust TFRs and fly drunk. What the hell is
wrong with these people?

I disagree. I think pilots are definitely more intelligent than the average
population.

I'm not saying pilots are perfect - just read some NTSB reports. But being
a pilot requires a high level of functioning if you want to stay alive for
any period of time.

But since He is just a figment of some people's imaginations, the threat to
our freedom comes from those who appoint themselves to be His enforcers.
