Holy sh!t, I had not heard about this. That rat bastard. Sure I’d love to put my life in the hands of a third worlder on minimum wage. We see how well it has been working for medicine...

With what Obama has done and the direction that the Democrat party is heading anyone who votes for a Democrat must be considered an enemy of America.

Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch wanted to replace those well trained pilots with even more well trained Muslim kamikaze types.

“Landings? We don’t need no stinkin’ landings.”

There was no standard below which that SOB not willing to go beneath.

May he rot in hell.

I ran across this comment on the News article and it does make sense:

The Norwegians paid $75M into the Clinton Foundation and expected a return on their investment. Obama complied:


https://sputniknews.com/europe...

An internal report by the Foreign Ministry made no secret of the fact that Norway could gain a greater influence in Washington this way.

“The size of the contributions gives Norway a significant positive position,” the report said, as quoted by Aftenposten.

It is my understand that a lot of foreign countries (especially those we would be importing pilots from) work strictly on a “who you know” not “what you know” when it comes to who gets trained as a pilot.

No thank you.

The media isn’t improving, not in the slightest. One would think turning pilot jobs over to cheap foreign labor is an issue US citizens across the political spectrum would care deeply about. Not even one word about it in the “news” this AM.

When a bunch of Koreans, my father is Korean, screwed up a landing in SFO because they had no clue how to land a plane without fancy technology no thanks to foreign pilots except for perhaps Western Europeans.

Another proof that hateful Obama hates America.

It would also mean more Somali bastards in the ground crews.

I hate that jug eared Kenyan! No, there are probably some decent folks in Kenya; it’s majority Christian, unlike Obama.

News to me also.

American pilots and crews on our airliners.

Glad I don’t have to fly or even want to get on a commercial plane.

New pilots spend over $100,000 in training and now they can be replaced by minimum wage third worlders. Insanity.

If Trump lets the Obama permit to NAI stand, it will be a victory for Norwegian Air Shuttle’s lobbyist John Byerly.
During his time in the State Department, 2001-to-2010, Byerly championed breaking down trade barriers — such as rules requiring that American jobs go to Americans.

According to the Irish Independent, Norwegian Air Shuttle paid Byerly nearly $200,000 for his services, along with another $800,000 to Prime Policy Group, the Washington-based influence shop.


The core of the matter.

False premise - money to Clintons was BRIBERY money.

Makes any agreement with non-American pilots - not valid.

I really think that could kill the deal.

Or, Trump may just take charge - and use “America First” as his lever.

Those pilots have a tremendous responsibility with all those lives in their hands.

They deserve what they earn.
