Otherwise, we'd be dropping KC-135's, B-52's and AWACS all the time, cuz them's reeeeeal old! | Yeah, but we (ok... they, now...  ...I mean the AF) don't put anywhere NEAR the hours on those that airlines do!
Funny thing I saw today was on Neal Boortz's web site: Quote: GET A CAMERA – LET'S GO LOOK FOR IDIOTS
American Airlines is having a bit of a problem as a good portion of their fleet is grounded while some wiring problems are corrected. And why are these wiring problems being corrected? For safety, of course. So the Fox News Channel cameras head to an airport to get the reaction of some of the passengers who were inconvenienced by the delays. In short order they stumble onto some bleached blond who says: "They're not thinking about us at all ... the passengers. I'm never going to fly American again."
Hey, you twit .. .these delays are for safety. Your safety. It is precisely you they are thinking about when they inspect these airplanes. Next time take the damned bus.
