But, I DID read the article.
In it, we get another glimpse at what is going on in the minds of our elites.
1. Sterile cockpit laws - sure he heard of it but it NEVER applies in Poland, especially when he was Prime Minister – he would always run all around the cockpit, you see. The only way he could stop is if someone installed some thingamabob that would let him bark orders at the pilots without leaving his seat.
2. When the pilot refused to fly to Tbilisi it was not because it was a war zone, but because the pilot was Tusk agent doing his bidding or something like that, and it was all a political provocation by Tusk to prevent Kaczynski from becoming the hero of Georgia, and not pilot exercising his duty.
Now, what I would add:
3. What this is all about is the fact that our "elites" think no rules apply to them and therefore, if the report says there is a fog in some airport they want to go to, they make a call and demand the fog be removed. See the article a few posts back.
4. Therefore, if someone says there is a fog in Smolensk, this fog also has to be politically motivated, but if landing in this politically motivated fog results in a crash, then not closing the airport due to this politically motivated fog was also politically motivated.
5. One cannot trust anything from Russia, fog reports, controllers, anything like that – everything politically motivated, of course, but in this case they would have trusted if the controller told them to get lost, and not see it as politically motivated, and so on and so forth.
Come on, man. Obviously, you are an intelligent man. Unlike most Kaczynski supporters, you mastered English even. You should not like all those "adjustable laws" concepts and all the professionals who always have to do what ordered. If you are a pilot, dare to believe that you and nobody else rules your crate. That's the way of the West (or at least used to be when the West was growing).
You cannot save this dying concept of the almighty elite and the rubber laws and regulations at their service. Wait till wikileaks is done publishing what US ambassador and others thought of Kaczynskis. That will be fun.
