Gary: Here's the link. Pretty much anything that that clown Boyer

says
is
totally irrational, sometimes even (like this example) what a

professor
used to call "internally contradictory." Yup, he said it, in AOPA
President's message.

Will you learn how to post. Quote the text to which you are replying.



Trolls have difficulty with authority figures and taking orders.


Good post. However, if you want to consider yourself above everyone and not
bother with basic etiquette then that is your right. Just because someone
doesn't reply to a message does not mean that it isn't being read. Since
you never know who is reading your message, it is to your advantage to make
your posts readable and understandable. When you just post answers out of
context then it comes across as gibberish.

"Now put this into perspective with car crashes, household accidents,
medical mishaps, and the innumerable other risks of everyday life. We're
talking losses on a monthly basis that likely exceed aviation losses for a
decade. The risk in aviation is negligible compared to some other common
activities when exposure is considered. On a per-mile or per-trip count we
might not fare as well as we'd like, but most of us aren't aloft with
anywhere near the same frequency compared to traveling in automobiles."


The "this" referred to in the first sentence is the fact that five people had
died in 19 years at that airport and none had died during the last 13 years.
You're the one slanting things here, not Landsberg.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

In bitching about recent news coverage about saftey at a local airport
(the
media don't get it right, they aren't experts, they create hysteria....),
AOPA posted this gem on accident statistics:

"Now put this into perspective with car crashes, household accidents,
medical mishaps, and the innumerable other risks of everyday life. We're
talking losses on a monthly basis that likely exceed aviation losses for a
decade. The risk in aviation is negligible compared to some other common
activities when exposure is considered. On a per-mile or per-trip count we
might not fare as well as we'd like, but most of us aren't aloft with
anywhere near the same frequency compared to traveling in automobiles."


AOPA's standards of journalism and objectivity are the model for all
media!!!

You are Skylune's impostor, and a very weak one at that.
