The point is that this subject, along with politics in general needs to be COMPLETELY AVOIDED in cockpits.

For what it's worth, I agree with you.

Way too many pilots I fly with believe all the email forwards they get. Guys, keep that crap to yourself, please....

Folks, if you have to say, "I'm XYZ religion" to start your post, you probably are already over the line for this forum. Same for political party issues.

If you're not discussing religion or politics, it won't matter what you are. It's a difficult way to discuss issues that are based on religious or political affiliations, but I'm confident that professionals will find a way.

Thanks,
Tony

The UPS accident is still under investigation. Any trained investigator would have to take a long hard look at this possibility. To due otherwise would be negligent in view of the circumstances. Just because you can't see any possible connection does not mean that others feel the same. The news this morning mentioned that they are now looking at exactly this connection. The UAE states that it was not a bomb however it is being revisited. A device of the types found could have had a low order detonation and started a very intense fire quickly without the normal signs of a bomb. I never stated it was a bomb only that it should certainly be considered. Others now seem to feel the same.

I,m guessing from the lack of response to this post that it's a non-issue ?
BTW does anyone know what this countries current threat level is ?

Hollywood claptrap! That's blasphemy! I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
