Great article from The Onion...


What lead you to characterize this tripe as "great"?

Writer has to be a pilot or someone connected with aviation....

"Of course it's scary, but I'm not going to stop flying because of
it," sparrow Darryl Beardsley said, echoing the apparent sentiment
of millions of other sparrows worldwide. "I guess it's just my
nature."

I'm an admirer of good satirical humor, but this thinly disguised
piece aimed at denigrating airmen is not funny. Rather it attempts to
unapologetically ridicule airmen in the eyes of the lay public without
any redeeming merit.


Don't be so sensitive Larry. If you think they were picking on GA then
if you disliked that one you'll love this one about commercial
aviation. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/48747

As others have said, "It's the Onion".
