1. The more people they can kill in air traffic control failures, the better for them

The less people voting the better chance of reelection.

Stupid trump voters dont understand why this is bad.

so this would probably not be the best strategy for republicans in that sense.

i think it's a simple matter of the usual kickback from corporate interests to political campaigns.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It would take one hell of a family emergency to get me on a plane at this point.

What was a treat and a pleasure years ago is now pure torture - but with air traffic control corporation owned and without regulatory oversight ??


You'd almost think the reTHUGs were trying to destroy commercial air travel in this country!

any move like this. I suspect the airlines feel the same way.

I won't fly under those conditions.
