Tom,
Fly-by-wire WAS a bad idea for a LONGGGGG time until they got the kinks worked out. Says who? Or what? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Tom,
(after MASSIVE subsidy from the taxpayers...an now Boeing is getting into that as well) Uh, now? Those defense contracts have been coming for decades. but more expensive to operate (since it was designed for state run airlines). Huh? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

G.R.,
Are those the ones they bribed into the USAF tanker deal even though Airbus was cheaper? I doubt they had to bribe anyone. Having your military use combat gear made by a foreign country is a *really* bad idea. You may want to look into the recent firings at Boeing and the relation to the tanker contract, which, AFAIK, has been put on hold because of that. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Yes, but the very concept of "punitive damages" is already an unhealthy mixture of civil and criminal law. No, it is not. It is, if you believe that "compensation" should be in the sphere of civil law, while "punishment" should remain in the sphere of criminal law. Only the State can impose criminal penalties. "Punitive" damages should only be imposed as a criminal sanction, and should require a criminal trial--with appropriate rules of evidence and procedure. |

That's a bit more precise explanation for the point I was making...thanks. |

Of course, you can feel better carrying a heavier load with
the tanks half empty. Paul "Jim Fisher" wrote in message ... "Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message Fly a long way on half empty gas tanks... According to my advanced Alabama math, you can go just as far with 'em half full. You get to feel more optimistic about the flight, too. |
