You are a badass. You just turned around my view of pilots and the airline industry in general. Pilots are the field goal kickers of travel: everyone thinks they are overpaid and useless until somebody screws something up.
Not only is this organization needed, It feels like the perfect time for it. Wonderful coverage, and overall great journalism.
Probably not.
"I wasn't persuaded: Barack Obama does have an affluent, educated, Ivy League sense of self-righteousness and entitlement that my Irish Catholic working-class side occasionally chafes at. So does Michelle Obama. So does Jeffrey Toobin. So do some of our Obama supporting readers." Seriously? Is your Clinton lust really so blinding as to fool you into forgetting that the Clintons are members of the 'global elite' everyone on salon loves talking about so much? Yes we all know about Bill's rural upbringing and the hardships Hilary has faced in her life but seriously, the Clintons have such a ridiculously strong sense of entitlement going on these days they act as if they are entitled to the white house itself. They hold more power than almost any other couple on earth, and virtually every speech either one of them gives reeks of entitlement. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that you didn't include your beloved Hilary in your snarky list of the 'self righteous'. Not to mention it really doesn't seem smart to insult your readers. P.S, I'm not in either camp, I'm holding out for john edwards.
