Breaking news, but it doesn't look good.

Thank you Mister Great President Reagan for breaking the backs of the traffic controller union instead of doing what they mainly wanted even over a pay raise and less hours, to upgrade the airline system which was then behind the times. Oh it is still the same system.
Oh dear God, not again. Thanks for posting, Lefty. But guys, no politics please. You think the families care about that right now?

No problem Cali, I will drop it and wasn't worried about a personal attack from Buzz in any way shape or form and I'm sure he feels the same way. At any rate I will bow out of this one for sure.
It makes you think when you see planes come down for reasons of pilot error as it seems to me to be more common over the last decade or so world wide. Now if the reports on the one in Montana are correct that might just be another type of error over loaded plane which again shouldn't happen. The one in the Hudson River is an understandable as it really was a force of nature that caused it. It also reminds me of the one right here in Lexington Kentucky about a 1.5 years ago where traffic controllers where short handed and sent a plane down the wrong run way to all but the copilots death due to it being too short for take off.
Exactly, Trish!
However, I have heard tale that planes have not been maintained either and despite that have been allowed to fly.
How awful! The plane in Montana had a dozen children on board, ages 6 - 10. Their poor parents.
Buzz, I'm not asking for recommendations of specific airlines but.... when you travel by air, how do you choose what airline or what type of plane to fly in?
LOL - That's what I do, too. I was just wondering if you think a certain type of commercial aircraft is safer or if the age of the plane matters or if you smell the pilot's breath or something.Price first, convenience second.
