Agree with Scott Hawthorn. Being an ()*() does not provide any passes on generally accepted appropriate behaviour. On an aircraft no less. Too much testosterone, narrow minds, all possibly fueled by alcohol is a formula for disaster. Which is what happened in Washington on the 6th. Well done to the crew to put the ()*()s in their place. Could the yahoos even spell "respect"? Just wondering.

The president that was just fired by the people will have a far far more profound and dark dark asterisk than just about any other. Unfortunately, the Republicans had a high possibility of winning the last election but they chose to put an albatross around its neck in 2016. What was that term Trump used so often? Drain the swamp? perhaps the Republican party can heed those words. Last statement by me. Stay well.

No, democracy is intended to evolve over time in what is hoped to result in positive change. This is accomplished through the political process. Examples? Constitutional amendments. But improvement is a process that requires ever more insightful leadership. The election of Trump was an appropriate signal for change but very poorly thought through. The Republican party was the one that allowed Trump to even see the light of day. Perhaps a signal for radical change was in order and if so, it may have been a case of the right idea, but very wrong timing. The price for change for the sake of change with the selected alternative being absolute incompetence is clear. 1,192 new deaths since yesterday. 1,192 family members added to yesterday's total of 265,000 deaths. COVID-19 will forever be an asterisk on Trump's legacy. And, IMHO, rightfully so.

To consider , , , , the cost of voting against the establishment and voting for a totally unqualified huckester as a sign of protest can, as of today, be measured at 265,000 American deaths and 13.200,000 positive American cases. RIP to the fathers, mothers, sisters, sons, friends, and associates lost with more of the same to come. In a yes or no answer, would you consider those deaths and infections a price too high to pay to send the type of message you are stating? Anyway, when I last checked, this is an aviation site, and as such with respect to the majority, will let that be the last of my comment on politics.

The US is up sh*t's creek and it is where it is because of poor leadership. Full stop. History will someday, forever link 100's of thousands of deaths in the US to one rolly polly orange haired megalomaniac. BUT let us not forget that he is a symptom and not the cause. He was voted in.

At the time of your flight, , , , ask the pilots if they have been paid recently.

However, as the self-proclaimed leader of the free world, would it be inappropriate to expect better from the US? Far far better? Also, let's see for a moment, to add proper context, who is rated worse than the USA on a /million basis: Belgium, Spain, Italy, Peru, UK, Argentina, Moldova, Mexico, Brazil and Chile. With the exception of the minority, most that are worse than the US (leader of the free world) are either second or third world countries. Surely, surely, a claim of "Hey we are #11! ! !" is nothing to boast about. Although here may be some fluidity in the numbers, the full list is here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/

What could possibly go right? Does this con man swim in the same DNA pool as today's president of the USA?
