Government Coup

[gimmethesimplelife]

Your theory is that foreign airlines are not run by corporations, for profit?

bae, you could simply do.some basic internet research and quickly learn how much better reputed certain foreign airlines are....examples would be EVA, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines for starters. If you'd get educated here perhaps you yourself would not shortchange yourself by tolerating American aviation service standards. You too deserve better! Rob

Sounds like you’d be happiest on the Soviet-era Aeroflot.

No....just on one of the many better reputed/proven over time better airlines. Simple internet research would prove my point. Examples of much better tham US airlines - EVA, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Emirates. You too deserve better than US aviation service standards! Rob

Airlines don’t mean shit with our stretched too thin ATC system.

And you just gave a very good reason NOT to fly domestically within.the US period. It's just too risky now.....but I would fly the aforementioned carriers OUT of the US. Rob

I’ve never liked flying. The whole effing experience is miserable. Road trips, on the other hand, are fabulous.

I am glad to see that after the weekend that FINALLY the mainstream news organizations found it worthy to mention that Musk and his Gen Alpha team suceeded to get into the Treasury Dept's payment system, all courtesy of the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant and blessed by Trump. The only way I found out about it was by watching independant news media as it was happening. Then on Sunday morning there was brief mention of it as if it was a totally normal thing to have an unelected billionaire in a fake government department get handed the keys to the United States checkbook...

If this isn't a coup and a constitutional crisis I must not understand the meaning of these things.

Not to take away from the potential seriousness of this issue, we have to remember that unelected bureaucrats have had their hands on these financial systems forever. Some go thru Congress for the Big Jobs but most do not.

They don’t have “the keys to the checkbook”. They just get to peek at the register.

It's not so much that Musk gets access, but in the age of department and personnel eliminations and punishments, one would guess it will be used to get rid of people and potentially pursue retributions. What ever it is, he's not just peeking a look.

I don't think you have a clue about what I know about aviation.

I also don't think you understand what the word "research" means. Do some "internet research" yourself, and you may find that I ran an airport, right on the border, in one of the more complicated airspaces around. And I fly 3-4 times a week, commercially, in this airspace, and get great service. Dock-to-dock sometimes even.

I would fly the aforementioned carriers OUT of the US.

Please do so.
