Please don't ban Dick.
His participation here is the best way (short of buying full-page newspaper ads) to show him up for the liar and political thug that he is. Every time he posts, it drives another nail into the NAS coffin. There can't be many people left in aviation that he hasn't blamed/accused/taken a swipe at.
You really crack me up, Dick, raging against the safety process you considered so 'unhelpful' in implementing NAS. If they are such a waste of time- why are you trying to discredit this one? Why not just ignore it and move on, like you did with the implementation?
You are still being very economical with the truth regarding the reason for this thread. But by all means drag it out. Liar.
