Saw this on Fox News this a.m. I can't believe the over-reaction! No wonder airline travel has been reduced two thirds.

Over-reaction I don't think so! The public complains if no action is taken and criticizes when action is taken. What do people really want? The airlines didn't take away our freedom it was the peace loving Islamic occult/terrorists.

I can usually find information on jackvanimpe.com. I believe you are right about Russia being the King from the North and I believe that Egypt is the King of the South who will attack Israel. Let me know if you find anything, my curiosity has gotten the better of me. Thanks friend.

I am Baptist so here goes.

Stage 1 The rapture of the church. Tribulation Period begins/Rise of the Antichrist and International Peace treaty with Israel/Mark of the Beast Institued/Judgment seat of Christ occurs simuntanelously

Stage 2 Mid-point of 7 year tribulation period-After 3 1/2 years beginning of "Great Tribulation". Peace Treaty Broken/Russia and Non-aligned Arab countries attack Israel and are defeated.

Stage 4 Gods judgements & Satan's wrath.

So these civilized nations are telling Israel that it does not have the right of self-defense. I don't think that will play well in Israel.

I think you are right! Israel takes no crap from anyone. Israel has every right to protect themselves just like we Americans have the right to protect our freedom. Israel and America do have the right to exist no matter what the Islamic extremists think.

"At this time of year, bird strikes are not uncommon," he added, "and engines are designed to withstand bird strikes."

Certain times of the year birds will land and gather on the runways for whatever reason. I've seen planes leave and return quickly with a cracked windshield from hitting birds on the runways. I'd say that although engines are designed to withstand bird strikes I doubt that the engines can withstand ingesting several birds. Just my opinion.

Laid off Airline Employee.

I just cut, copied and pasted and sent to all people in my address book and requested they do the same. God Bless the family.

I do believe Mullah Omar is desperate. Pity/Sacrcasm

The ones who used their underwear as surrender flags?

LOL! Thanks for the sweet memories, SamAdams you have made my day. Oh we can't forget the Iraq fighters who tried to surrender to the news crew. They sure are brave and couragous fighters indeed. HE HE

It ain't biased if its the facts...just the news.

Agree, however some have the tendency to quickly dismiss the devastating attacks against the people of Israel. Let the news media show the wounded innocent women and children in Palestine but also refer back to the prior attacks by the terrorist who struck innocent women and children in Israel.

Islam are followers of a false prophet,a gutter religion,that is history's largest HATE group. Islam is a collection of murderers,rapists,scum and more scum.....the religion of peace...what a crook...Bush should be impeached for just saying those words....

I agree with you completely except for the Bush impeachment part. Publically President Bush might call Islam peace but I think privately he believes like most of us that Islam is not a peaceful religion. We need to keep building a strong coalition and to publically call Islam a religion of hate would be devastating to the coalition.

Thanks backhoe for the survival links and I bookmarked them for quick access. Charleston, WV has a big plant called, oops "loose lips" but in India a few years ago there was a "small" leak from the very same plant that is in Charleston that killed thousands of people and to think what could happen if this large plant was attacked. Super yikes. BTW I like your articles and comments I think you add some good insight to the forum. Thanks again.

Hope you and your family are safe. I hope some of the rain heads toward W.V.! We are having a severe drought (no rain since August) and problems with forest fires.

Rumsfeld reply! Helen, did somebody beat you with that ugly stick? Shame on me.

My boys really played terrible this year (WVU). We have a new coach this year (Rodriguz) and I'm just praying that he will be able to get us back into the top 20 in a couple of years. I'm rooting for the Big East! GO MIAMI! Can't believe I just said that, oh boy. Blue and Gold pumps through my veins. Gal who loves them EER'S!

And your mother was who??

You got my vote! Great thinking.

No time to debate this our Lab just got run over by a car and I've got some upset kids on my hands. It's just my opinion and you know what that means...don't mean crap cause everyones got one. Happy Thanksgiving Freepers!

Can you give me more than a handful of businesses that don't in some way depend upon the airline industry? Good-luck.

This is not a general reaction, this response comes from years of shabby treatment, lying employees, and general anti-customer policies that the protected airline industry has instituted as standard operating procedure. The airline industry will learn to place their customers first or go the way of the dodo.

As a airline employee I always encourage everyone to look at name badges and report employee's who act like jackasses. I too am amazed when I fly out of some airports and see the treatment the airline employees give to our customers. I can honestly say that I "always" bend over backwards to help our customers (even when they want to scratch my eyes out)! I never forget that it's always the customer who writes my paycheck for me. It is a shame that other airline employees don't feel the same. Okay fellow FReepers take it easy on me, okay?

Wouldn't you rather have an Explorer or a Tahoe?....

What are you a used car salesman or something? The airlines are the backbone of a "healthy economy" and when the airlines suffer we all will experience the trickle down effect Hotels, car-rentals, restaurants, cruiseliners, specialty shops, jobs etc. Get it!

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

You've got that right! I'm waiting for Cochran to be the next and oh yeah it would be nice to see Jesse & Al get their much deserved spanking too.
