    I want the people that BUILD airplaces to be professionally ready, too. Not just cheaper and more pliant… spiritually.

    How professionally ready does one have to be to deliver local news?

    I’m perfectly capable of praying for a safe journey. I can’t fly the plane. It should be a given that the person who is, can.

    The Vought workers in S. Carolina are spritually but not professionally ready, and all that got us was a raft of mis-made or unmade airplane parts. A union would help them be professionally ready. They certainly couldn’t get worse.

    On a side note, I keep wondering how much better husbands and parents white Evangelical Republican men might be if they just had some strong role models for their race.

    Unionization doesn’t automatically guarantee a competent work force–in fact, the former pre-eminence of unions was largely due to the fact that industry at one time recognized the value of workers with skill and experience, and found it worthwhile to retain them. This required some sort of explicit or implied contract on the employer side, reached either through collective bargaining or a degree of humility and altruism on the part of management. (Yes….there was a time when that wasn’t totally unheard of!)

    Nowadays, the overriding assumption seems to be that anything can be accomplished by trained monkeys…or for that matter, untrained ones. Anyone on the payroll below “mahogany row” is viewed as unimportant, inconvenient and ultimately expendable.

    Depends on why the plane needs a pilot. If we are being flown by someone from el Qaeda the choice would not be obvious.

    @6 I’ll tell you one thing, replacing union baggage handlers with gangsters, like Alaska Airlines did, guarantees passengers’ luggage will be stolen.

    @7 Roger Rabbit Quiz

    If you were on a plane being flown by someone from Al Qaeda would you rather have:

    [ ] 1. A spiritual adviser

    I need to know if there is time for the sky marshal to do something useful.

    @9 ..

    Where is this armed marshall sitting? Is she dead or alive?

    I think I would prefer to have my own shoe bomb.
