What if the pilot gets a heart attack? Single pilot operations aren't
allowed on commercial airliners.


A "criticality one" system is a valid concern, but single pilots are
quite common on tourist flights.

I wonder if they'll be able to compete with Virgin.


To me, it looks like thats exactly what they want to do. EADS is owned by
two
Governments, so apparently they aren't happy with capitalism having
something.


Glen Overby


You're thinking of the 15% stock of the french government - with no voting
right - and the 5% of the spanish one?

If so, you have a strange definition of ownership.


Controlled might be a more appropriate word. Witness the arguments
about who's in charge and where the job cuts happen.

That said, "Lockmart" is equally controlled by the US Pentagon.

Come to think of it, most companies are at the mercy of powerful
Governments.

Does that mean Kellogg Brown and Root own the Marines? How about the
Oil companies? Do they own the Navy?

I'm surprised with your Freddy making a claim like the one above. Very
conspiratorial of you. Do your handler's know your posting like this?
I bet they do...

Poor gibbering Eric. Leave it to him to not get a joke (and then try
to extend it and screw it up).

Joke? You actually made some sense for a change! I screwed nothing
up.

That time you spent in the Navy, was your head up your butt the whole
time?

It seems your fingers not only did your typing, but did your thinking
too. Have you considered suing your brain for non-support? Does your
train of thought have a caboose? Have you ever noticed that whenever
you sit behind a keyboard, some idiot starts typing? As Abba Eban so
aptly said: "His ignorance is encyclopedic."

You light up a room when you leave it. No doubt your life is so dull,
that you can actually write your diary one week in advance. Genius
does what it must, talent does what it can, and you had best do what
you're told, you dyslexic lobotomy patient. Maybe you wouldn't be such
a Jerk-In-The-Box if you didn't have an intellect rivaled only by the
Village Idiot's stupider brother; if your weren't so fat from all that
cheap beer you spend your Welfare payments on that your belly jiggle
is the first ever perpetual motion machine, or if your face wasn't the
strongest form of natural contraception available. Who am I kidding?
You would.

Dullard, do yourself and everyone else a favor, take a fatal overdose
of your medication.

You're so ugly you mama tied a bone around your neck so the dog would
play with you.

Nope, I'm here for the long haul. Yoru stuck with me. Like it or
leave...

How pathetic, Eric, you shanky-assed, chicken-fondling, jock
strap-sniffing, cum-sucking, hemorrhoid-nibbling, butt-faced
cockweasel.

You have that certain nothing. Truly, you are about as interesting as
watching a slug move slowly across a large rock. I bet you thought it
was just coincidence that your parents had the same surnames before
they married? Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if
you weren't an 'idiot savant' without the 'savant' part; if your
weren't so fat that your cereal bowl has its own lifeguard, or if you
didn't have a face that makes people ask: "Damn, is it Halloween
already?" No, come to think of it, you would.

Then please start using the prescribed dosage of your medication,
since we are now in agreement that you are on it.
