"Knowing Your Pilots"
Actually, if you paid attention to what I post Bullwinkle, I only refer to non-major party aligned Senators or Laborials. Can't recall ever supporting or advocating support for PUP in particular.
But don't loose sleep about. (The little guy with the thumb is winking)

How about the reverse, we get to check out the suitability of Pax to travel, health, drugs, breathalyser, mental state, cleanliness, suitable clothing, suitable footwear to evacuate
and so on
and so on
Anyway, back to topic.
I thought the taxi ID system was to bring some transparency to drivers and make females feel more safe as there was a spate of thefts and sexual attacks on female cab pax.
That hasn't really been a problem towards aircraft pax, so I'm not sure of the connexion to aviation.

I think that senator elect, Jacqui Lambie may be the sort of person that our Senate now really needs. She's clearly been through some very difficult personal times. I've found that people that have done that, can relate so much better to their fellow humans. Most tend to be more empathic, IMHO. It's rather sad that there are those that want to bring her down, despite her personal honesty..
And all of us tougher guys out there will never suffer depression?
Of course.

Of course.
Are people here trying to 'bring her down' or are we simply questioning the sanity of her stated concept whereby pilots would have to prove their qualifications to their passengers and presumably (by having this information available electronically) to every voyeur out there ?
Having hitched her star to a crackpot political party is bad enough. Talking aviation when she clearly knows nothing about the subject only compounds her folly.

But what really makes me worry is that being a Senator (elect) she is now in a position where she actually may be able to do something to enact her views!
A long shot I admit though.

Crackpot ideas and crackpot political parties go hand in hand. Fortunately, our system of Govt usually ensures that the crackpot ideas progress no further than the media outbursts - that are usually aimed at getting more media exposure for the party or the politician.

The PUP obtained 22184 votes for the senate in 2013 or 6.59% of eligible Tasmanian votes.
With an Australian population of 23426498, Jacqui Lambie on behalf of the PUP, was voted for by 0.095% of the overall population.
How on earth somebody who represents less than one tenth of one percent of the population can have so much influence in government is ludicrous.
Truly "Unrepresentative Swill".

It’s strangely compelling watching dehydrated horses not only ignoring directions to the water, but insulting the intelligence of the people who could supply it.
At least you’re (for Bullwinkle’s benefit: “your”) now considered on par with taxi drivers. I’m assuming that’s a promotion from “glorified bus drivers”?

Some critically important common ground!
I reckon you’d (sorry “youd”) achieve a whole lot more from reaching out to and working with Senator Elect Lambie and her colleagues, than from insulting and alienating them.
Bear in mind: Most passengers don’t give a sh*t whether you have a job or are replaced by slave labour from wherever.

So you bloody well should, Hillbillbob. However as Tasmania now produces the world's (note: placement of apostrophe) best single malt whiskey, we are prepared to overlook certain electoral indiscretions.
