Why did the reporter not challenge the cost estimate? This process started years ago and this school was advised to make these changes over several years to factor in regular replacement when and where possible. That was advised so they could make the best use of limited resources.

And for today's C'mon man moment. The author talked of amenities offered by Virgin. "...All of that could go away if Alaska chooses to fly a uniform fleet, a decision company executives say they are still debating." As if Alaska Air Group would spend 2.6 billion dollars without having a plan for the fleet.

Olrun, good point, no doubt I would like anyone serving in an elected position to be drug tested so they can be treated the same as members of my family who have to be drug tested randomly at their jobs. You never see those polticians go for that, they are often above the way the rest of us worker bees get treated.

There is also the problem of being able to buy a house in the first place. You need a down payment and good credit, both of which are a problem for working-class people.

Several years ago, just before the housing market tanked, I owned three duplexes (making three mortgage payments each month) while only making $10.50/hour. (between jobs at the time.)

The landing slots are key, particularly in airports that can't expand due to NIMBY's and hippies*, like those airports around NYC and in other major metropolitan areas. Can't expand routes if you can't get gate space. * okay fine, there are non-hippy related space issues in most metro airports as well, I guess ;)

Not so. Using a firearm is, legally, always use of deadly force. If the guy wasn't a deadly force threat, then shooting him -anywhere- is probably an unreasonable use of force no matter where you aim.

Mines are large, ugly, produce waste, and give the state jobs and money. Nothing is free. Either less jobs and less money and we wait until the oil dries up and still end up with a mine or we do it now.

If this is just stating a problem, and that encourages more research, and more federal grants, I'm all for it. Stating a problem is a lot better than ignoring one.
