The way he dumped on the Air Traffic Controllers this year does not allow him to be human and make a mistake. |

Well, he WAS a modern day oxymoron, a Government Employee so I'm sure he got some lovely parting gifts, just not a home copy of the game. He'll land somewhere as a junior partner in some law office.

Regards, Especially since he'd be first in line (to show his bosses how tough he was) to take a pilot's license if the same thing happend to an airman. |

I agree that it is very stupid, I was in no way condoning it. I hope no one took it that way. There was a report that if he resigned then he left with pension and health benefits, but if he had to be fired he would receive nothing.
