Default Cautionary tale for LSA

Oh crap! I'll fly from Albuquerque to wherever they're grounded (at my
expense) and complete the flight. Yes, I'm rated, no I won't expect
compensation. Let's just get the birds home.

This reminds me of the great blizzard of '97 when a humming bird was blown
from Arizona to Colorado and ended up on a window sill in Boulder. Talk
about local news coverage! I recall United Airlines was asked to fly the
bird back to AZ and they replied... "NO". Talk about a public relations
faux pas... All the other airlines in Denver were falling over themselves
to offer free transportation to the little hummer. He survived, BTW, and
even got a girl friend in AZ. News coverage continued until the bird was
released back into the wild with his new-found friend.

I just love blind adherence to rules with no personal judgment allowed.

Always easy to pick on the small guys, I guess

I know its an oxymoron, but a sensible bureaucrat would wait until this
year's batch of cranes had reached Florida before stopping the flights.

This book may have been more effective than it's writers intended.

Reading the revues is a hoot. Half think its a spoof and the rest think
its good job seeking advice.
