Completely agree they should release everything to “put it to rest.” Let the chips fall where they may. That said, nobody is going to prison solely based on being on a list/in someone’s “black book.” That kind of evidence proves nothing criminal, and anybody who thinks a list alone will drive justice is naive. There needs to be hard evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and unless a jury/judge is seeing photo/video/DNA evidence, nothing is going to happen.

My wife just had to deal with this in her career field (veterinary medicine) and after seeing what an absolute pain in the ass the entire ordeal is, it's now my number one reason why I am against changing the retirement age for pilots. If we raise it again, we just need to admit that we are marching towards no age limit, and I really don't want to turn the first officer's responsibility into monitoring and reporting older pilots for losing the mental capacity to handle the job. And that's exactly what's going to happen. Everyone who's been through a first class medical or annual recurrent training knows what a joke it is. Wanna raise the retirement age? Fine. Then we do real, randomized, individual cognitive testing. Every year once you turn 55, and before your next flight if you are reported by another pilot. Easier to just keep it at 65, IMO.

I mean, are these files newly convincing anyone that Trump has an unsavory personal history? It's like people who were suddenly shocked to see Joe Biden was old after his poor debate performance - like, where the hell have you been the last couple years?

Uh, there were at least two on that flight deck.

Can you imagine being married to someone for years only to find out via some online viral video that your spouse went to a Cold Play concert? The shame is unimaginable....

Dibs!

Gavin Newsom is not going to make the US any better, look at California. He's bay area royalty. He may not have been to Epstein's rape island, but he's still a shady politician. I'm so tired of only having pieces of human excrement as the choices to "lead" the land of the free. I wouldn't trust Newsom with the popcorn maker.

I wonder why this guy didn't just rent a Piper Arrow and fly all by his lonesome into a mountain?
