I think it's because he's just weird. Plus, do you really think he's going to let someone tell him what to do?

Can’t really argue with any of that mate!

Oh come on now, he's also very friendly with Putin and Un, it would be a real shame if you didn't include those cretins too.

He's taking tips off all of them.

Orban probably coached him in how to bash gays without anyone noticing yesterday.

This can’t be real.

This can’t be real.

I agree. I can't find evidence that he said it, just the same story bouncing around twitter.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

This can’t be real.

I sincerely hope it isn't, but at this point, I'd rather have Magic 8 Ball in charge than these fucking clowns.

People who accept stuff they read on Social Media are daft enough, people who regurgitate the crap as truth are beyond redemption.

Not that I believe he said it but try to get through this using just your gut feeling.

 

[Vic]

Maybe because lots of people already had and he didn't feel qualified to give a snap medical opinion or offer appropriate aid?

Surely he could have suggested injecting disinfectant?

Think I’d go the Hudson Bay to Northwest Territories route myself…

David Silva could get through it.

We use the “Sciss-Sas-Brick” (or Rock, Paper, Scissors) method when deciding which way to turn on our flights. Thankfully, I’m still in the lead over the First Officer and International Relief Officer, so I’ve got that going for me!

:-D

As has been said, there appears to be NOTHING coming out of this administration that’s beyond belief!

Personally, I think this whole ATC Drawdown is a ratcheting up of pressure to end the Shutdown, as the Thanksgiving Holiday is the busiest travel period of the year. The Wednesday - Sunday travel period seems to break a new record every year, so if people can’t get to where they were going (Home to family) that weekend, the politicians will hear it loud and clear!

However, if it continues, aviation drops off dramatically between Turkey Day and Santa’s Arrival, so the pressure will be ratcheted waaay down…and some airlines might even like the imposed cancellation of some flights, so they can blame the Govt!

No dramas for me so far. I'm just about to take off from DFW to to Santa Barbara.

I'm not as hopefull for my return journey in 2 weeks time...

I thought it was absolutely crazy that ATCs have been working for a month and a half now, unpaid. Who would do that? Why not just force the issue by walking off, the country would be ground to a halt. What are you gaining by continuing to work?

Then I learned that in 1981 they did exactly that, and Reagan fired 11,000 of them and never re-hired them. Which is insane, but now it makes more sense.

The effort that's gone into completely crushing any form of collective bargaining in the US to ensure fair working conditions is genuinely dystopian.
