The moral to that story is to get yourself a pilot uniform for air travel.

This action is really just about making it appear that Petey is not being so limp-wristed and actually doing something to crack down on the airlines on the public's behalf. It's the oldest strategy in the book - if you suck at your job, throw mud on other people until everyone gets distracted and forgets about you...

Now I understand why I see so many people wearing noise cancelling headphones before they even board the plane. I just thought they were morons, but they be on to something after all...

I'd fly more often if they always served KFC.

Your fervent, "ready for a fight" bias is showing. I watched your puff piece as you asked. How else would I know it's little more than a vocabulary lesson from a supposed scholar?? Don't be so hasty to insult and shut down others just because they might have a difference of opinion. Never forget, protecting one's ability to express a difference of opinion is allegedly how your guns came to be so worshipped in the first place. I think that's more than enough of this folly and pointless discussion for an aviation website. Again, chill and your life will be much happier than always looking for an unnecessary fight.

Yes, a biased puff piece (focused on debatable vocabulary) that supports YOUR position. How original!! Gee, I've never found ANY puff pieces that support the opposite position (insert copious amounts of sarcasm here...) Chill. No one is going to take your guns away. All I ask is that you lock them up, learn how/when to use them, and use them accordingly. Too much to ask?? (<<rhetorical)

There are bold pilots and there are old pilots, but there are no old bold pilots...

"A well-regulated militia..." How soon we forget.

Perhaps instead of giving all of our money to Ukraine, we should just hire the Wagner group to reek havoc within Russia. They seem to be much more effective at this than the Ukrainian military and they're all about whoever pays them. Seems like a better return on our endless investment.

Mr. Chiasson - You're falling in to the liberal media trap. Police are certainly not adopting a "shoot/ask questions later" approach - to the contrary, they are less apt to use their firearms and better equipped with other less lethal options than at any time in history. The media sensationalizes police shootings more these days because they now have art (bodycam videos) to go with those stories. Educate yourself, learn the true statistics, and don't blindly believe everything spun on the news.
