Where did this paranoia about declaring an emergency come from?

Disagree...basic IFR rules, what if there was another aircraft between them and 12k? If you are going to descend on your own you have to tell someone.

Meanwhile...

Young crews, some are doing the best they can with the experience and equipment they’ve been given.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the cops got fired as way to send a message to the rest. Actually the more of the like minded PoPo that get sent packing now means they aren't available if the administration changes to a less friendly one.

Since my googl-fu says US Park PoPo is fed, Pete will call Don and this will go away. Carry on, Guardman.

What, no Hellfires zip tied to the flap pylons? No 9mm Beretta with trigger cord taped to the swing window? This is Detroit, USA.

I heard a story once of a TDY to Cali from a nearby state where all of a sudden during prep for the late afternoon go, a bunch of the sweaties tore off back to the base lodging they were staying in. They apparently came back pretty quick and when questioned WTF somebody had some random excuse. Turns out rumor got around that base authorities were looking for personal firearms in lodging....

My guess is they'll eff with him for a few months and let him rack up big legal bills then either drop the case outright to moot the case or offer some bs plea deal that waives his right to appeal.

And how many fully 'back the blue' with no concept of consequences for them.

You forget how many regular citizens view gun ownership as inherently "asking for it" much less answering the door with a gun in the hand. The sheep out-bred the sheepdogs a long time ago.

Bottled water only, plate carrier on, helmet within reach.

So what do you do if you're flying through Detroit?

Bummer.

Good lord, did the jury sleep through the video evidence?! That’s two juries in the span of a couple weeks filled with window licking retards. Accountability has died in our society.

If true, he deserved to die. My rule of thumb as a passenger: If I cannot drink the tap water in a particular country, I avoid flying on their airlines.

Disgusting, that Pos committed murder.

I still remember way back in interview prep, on a group video call for mock interviews, and a Raptor guy eventually says he’d just have to beat the CA unconscious and take the plane. The face/reaction of the HR chick running the mock interview was absolutely hilarious. Ummm sir, have you thought about bribing him with a steak dinner?

I vote for one of these, set to slow mode.

They are much worse to fly for than the big US carriers (work rules, schedule, you have to live/commute internationally to a shithole, etc.) There’s always some westerners willing to do it, but there’s a reason the vast majority won’t touch it.
