When the whole flight safety thing was begun it was for very real reasons, but the pendulum has swung too far to the point that it is now driving the entire process and making a joke of our military.
Tourist, I think you are the one who is making a joke of our military.
I honestly don't give a flying **** about their behaviour as long as decent aircraft get to the front line. By decent I don't mean safe, though that is nice to have. By decent I mean capable.]
There is a whole bunch of guys and gals doing their utmost to ensure that your (and lots of innocent civilians) little pink body is not exposed to unnecessary risk, knowing full well that if it all goes pear shaped they are the ones who will be left to answer in front of the man wearing the white curly wig, while you are happily dining at the table of St Peter.
Do you really want to return to the days of 1952 because that is what you are advocating, and that would certainly put an end to military capability.
You still haven't said if you would take personal liability for a RJ coming down in the middle of Lincoln; are you man enough to take on the challenge?
