Why does every comment here have a thumbs downs after them, and not a single thumbs up? Are we really that displeased with what everyone says around here?
I just started noticing that yesterday afternoon myself John, and that was on one of the stories in NEW SQUAWKS. There are certain guys that, and they know who they are and FA could probably track them if the would, just go through the whole site tearing it up and polluting for all of us. FA had a good ide instigating the voting thing but either it's time has come or they are going to have to police it. I'll give you a thumbs up and yours just went to a 1 so if it changes, you'll know it got took away after 0530
Preacher,
You know what? After taking a closer look at it, I realized that I may have been mistaken. I'm used to YouTube and Yahoo comments where the thumbs up are green numbers, and the thumbs down are red numbers. Therefore, I was under the assumption that on FlightAware, every number was a thumbs down, since they're all colored red. In fact, I think it's just a net standing... positive numbers meaning the ups outweigh the downs... negative, the other way around. In this we have no real way of knowing how many of each there really are; just that the voting either tips the scale in one direction or the other. So my mistake and my apologies for what appears to be much ado about nothing.

Your not that far off and it's as I said they are out there messing aound. They should stay green as long as it's a positive number. It goes to red and thumbs down on a negative number.
My question is how long was the entire corporation going to be in jail after being found guilty of manslaughter in the first place. Do they round up every employee? Just the CEO? Do they lock up all the airplanes and airplane jail until they served their sentence? Do they execute the aircraft, or just the mechanics or pilots even?
LOL - how ridiculous
I am sure it was all just to extort money from the US based airline and nothing to do with justice, and as Patice Venne said "Euro justice at its best"....
What a world huh? :)
At least it was overturned before they started rounding everyone up :)~

Hey man. How is your back? Are you back to work yet?
Thanks for asking no I still have another surgery to do this one looks pretty nasty pretty much have to fuse my entire back from the base of my neck all the way to my hip.
That does sound kinda ugly. I'll toss up a prayer or two if you don't mid. Stay in touch. BTW, When are they going to do it.
Thank you for your prayer I'm not sure when surgery's going to be I hope it's going to be in the next six months or so I don't feel very good about it because it's pretty severe some kids do it when young and heal faster. but adults take a very long time to heal so this could be a big ordeal I'm not sure I saw this at the end of my flying career because I love it I really do
When the pain kick sent, are you absolutely berserk. I try to stay calm and smile and be nice but it's so hard with severe pain. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've had to apologize to people for going off on a rant over little issues.
Pain makes you act in a really bad way, I come across as being upset even when I'm trying my best to be friendly calm. It's really rough I just need to get better im oreally looking forward to surgery. In the meantime doctors don't like to prescribe pain medications and they are very frugal so basically living with constant severe pain. Just do a Google search for under treatment of pain in America, it's everywhere it's really nasty. in 98 OxyContin became available on the market and drug abusers in annex flocked to the pharmaceutical grade drugs. this caused the DEA to put pressure of doctors not prescribe too much medication and now there is a huge shortage of proper pain management in fact it's nearly impossible to find a doctor that will properly titrate medication as you should have, the way it has been done for millennia. People that are not currently in severe pain don't know what's going on in regards to pain medication, but when They get hurt or cancer will find out just how bad it really is is just not seen by many people at this time
But I digress

Today I had a CT scan at the hospital. I was able to look at the imagery on their computer before I left. that's when I saw that my ribs on the right side of my body were pushing up against my lung and I have lost between 1/3 to one half of the volume of my lungs because the curvature is so severe. This explains why if so bad when I take a deep breath.
Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, I've been praying to God every night since my accident, perhaps not praying to him for so long prior this is my punishment? Who knows? All I know is that I've got to fix this thing before I go insane and hurt everyone around me I don't like to be verbally abusive every time the pain spike.
And all of this from falling such a short distance while disconnecting the main battery on the piaggio p180. It feels ridiculous such severe injury for such a small fall but I do need some comfort in knowing I was not the only one to get injured while doing that specific task.
I apologize for not editing my response, I'm using voice recognition software so that sky compound all he cares see. I apologize for that but I just don't feel very well right now. Have a great day guys I'll talk to later.

I thought this was an A/C discussion. I must have taken a wrong turn
I wouldn't speculate on it as punishment for the past but you definitely need to be sincerely leaning on him now. Seems as if you are there. A lot of things go thru our mind when we are down. Too few of us count our blessings when times are good. I will stay in this prayer chain with you.
