There was a shortage of ATC controllers then, and still is, if a person went to college for such and was not hired, that person was not ATC ready, so why not give others that may not have gone to college, but have what it takes to be an ATC Controller, why deny them just because they were monorities? Good thing OBAMA.

GOOD IDEA, this has nothing to do with how the old pilots were and are treated, this is about filling the retired pilots' opening with well trained prospects that they have trained, and yes,the faces won't be lilly white, but a mixture of the best trained pilots, MINORITIES included.

These sanctions are all TRUMP'S BS, Iran is no more a threat than CUBA, and he has some kind of travel sanction on them. Get rid of this BUMB, and we all will be much better off

Well, after watching the rather funny, but DEAD SERIOUS video (good job avweb,) it's not as dire as it once seemed to be. If you are NEVER EVER going to fly: 1) Above "18,000' msl" airspace. 2)"IN","UNDER", "ABOVE" and the "VEIL" of CLASS B airspace, 3) In CLASS C airspace. You are just fine without the manditory "ADS-B IN/OUT." You can even fly into CLASS D (control tower) airspace, and stay below 10,000' msl, and you can fly all you want without a, "Stinkin ADS-B IN/OUT." Us "little guys" can sleep easy, but you "big guys," it's finger nails biting, pacing the floor time.

"Got-to-land-itist" was the major contributing factor, this is the very reason there is an "ALTERNATE(S) Airport" to fly to when landing conditions at the Primary Airport is not feasible, a Cessna 150 PIC know this.

What a waste of time, just as I thougght it woould be, a Pre-K could have gave better Aviation answers than this CEO, Nothing about the ISSUES of why were these MALFUNCTIONAL Planes flying when they knew they had problems, only what BOEING is going to do, it sad when a CEO says, "I wasn't aware" to key issue questions, then handed them off to the "Engineer," who defended his own *** rather than giving concret answrrs, What a waste of tome.

Stop and think, all this is to make Flying SAFER, and to relieve the pilot's WORKLOAD that Instrument Rated pilots are always complainimg about, now they are complaing about that which will take away their complaining.
