Filled with the logical fallacy "appeal to authority" and crammed with anecdotal information, this is one of the most grotesque postings I have had the misfortune of reading.
Airlines flying is a complex business depending on a large number of job descriptions to all perform their tasks in a timely and efficient manner. They are regularly graded on their efficiency.
Flights that do not leave the gate, lose money for their airline. They also garner heat from the FAA. Pilots who do not fly, do not get paid. If they do not fly their maximum number of hours for the month, that money is lost forever.
What a business: Airlines have no control over the cost of jet fuel in the future. They order new aircraft 10 years in advance. They depend on Air Traffic Control to be fully staffed and operating at peak efficiency. Government hiring agendas have embraced a philosophy of quota hiring in order to level the pigmentation and sexual preference playing field.
Would you invest in such an industry?
