Maybe they should, I don't know, spend the damn money to properly train pilots on how to use the damn equipment so they're not having to read the instruction manual mid flight?

Oh and this coming from the guy who ran a failed airline and university, so he'd know a thing or two about branding.

If you have a known defective product and you "think" you've fixed it, and you name it something else, I think that's fraud. I think that is what our pResident is known for.

Of course, he'd say that. This is the same asshole who has spent his life putting his name on garbage, with little care that it's actually garbage. It's all about "the brand" for him. He doesn't care beyond the name.
