Why, because that one article says it's about saving the plant? Trust a guy with actual fleet experience, those jets are badly needed. Of course, we also need parts and people to maintain the jets, so it only addresses part of the problem we're dealing with here in Lemoore (Oceana seems to be doing a bit better with manning- gee I wonder why), but that's a story for another thread. Also, don't forget that Boeing is building E/F/G and foreign sales (Australia and soon, Kuwait) on the same manufacturing line, so it's not as if they were out of orders. Finally, SNA Johnny's chances for jets are governed more by TRACOM throughput capability these days than the number of aircraft rolling off the line. Because- again, trust a fleet guy- we need all the JOs they can train right now.
I really wish you'd do more research than reading one Navy Times article before posting.
Maybe it's time for a little "societal cleansing", kind of like what Thomas Jefferson said in 1787:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
And by this you mean....?
You know, something significant and perhaps catastrophic, to remind the populace what truly matters in this life/world.
Hint: it's not emotional support animals.
I get the concept, but don't you think that's a bit odd from a practical standpoint? Hey, let's descend the country into chaos and misery so we can show all these millennial softies how bad they could have it.
At the end of the day, living in a free society as we do, "what truly matters in this life/world" is up to the individual, not your concept of how society should look based on nostalgia for some post-WWII utopian dream.
No Brett, it's not odd, it was a joke. And, my son is a Millennial, so any chance I get to yank his chain is always a humorous event for me.
But people do say things like that. I don't think they think it through.
Actually it is. Not an inherent right, but a statutory right thanks to the Amercans wwith Disabilities Act and an army of lawyers and candy ass judges. Mix in companies unwilling to offend anyone with a Twitter account much less risk a lawsuit, and you have what we see here today. The airlines growing a pair is going to help.
Don’t fret. I did.
