Bo Barber was nothing more than a bus driver that had more controls on it. There are multiple bureaucrats in this government that know all the ins and outs of policy, procedure and nuance. That doesn’t make them necessary or irreplaceable.
His opinion is based on what he believes Trump to be.
Oddly enough, he just did what he said Trump is doing. He’s proclaiming that he knows what’s going on without due diligence.
Some of the pilots are big time union guys. They hate anyone that is going to not be a corrupt democrat for whatever loyalty that affords the union. No matter if they are former military, these particular guys, well, one in particular
The hate is ridiculous Can’t be in the same room. Nothing to do with America first.
Trump to pilot...
“Sir...take me to Washington D.C.,
Thank you.”
( ; )
what a crap thread, why post this?
Does he like gladiator movies?
Does he know “C” stands for confidential?
Should ask the Hijackers how long it took them to learn how to fly those planes in the World Trade center and the Pentagon.
Gag. Good thing Obama accumulated decades of experience before running!
Remember back in 2008 when this Bo Barber guy posted his concerns about the inexperienced Barack Obama assuming the presidency?
And Obama’s goofy promises of Hope and Change when no one had the slightest idea of exactly what kind of hope or change they were voting for?
Me neither.
Breaking News? Really?
Why is this junk in breaking news?
Just get off Facebook.
He wasn't elected anything! He was hired by his airline to do a specific job. A job that he is obviously trained and certified to do but a job nevertheless. He's simply a hired hand and he is interchangeable as there are thousands of other qualified pilots out there waiting to take his slot.
Speaking of pilots, our President Elect does hire the best pilots and people, doesn't he?
As a retired Air Traffic Controller.....
They are not doing Shit without my control instructions.
soft in the head. been driving the truck too many years.
Pilots today are strictly for backup to the systems in the aircraft. A passenger plane can take off and fly to it’s destination, hitting all the way points and execute a perfect landing without the assistance of a pilot. the aircraft after landing can also taxi to the proper terminal in order to offload the passengers.
Pilots only exist in case of a failure in one of the automated systems and these systems have multiple backups in that eventuality.
Flying an aircraft is not difficult nor is taking one off. It is the landing which presents the greatest challenge. I personally learned to fly and soloed after 15 hrs of flight time (I owned a Piper PA28 180). It’s really not a big deal and the most important thing is to respect the aircraft and stay well ahead of it while in the air.
Why bother.
Getting into a pissing contest with strangers on Facebook is just senseless.
Getting sucked into similar bashing sessions on FR are just as useless.
I remember when the comments were funny. Not so much lately.
