Here's a fun one. Came through KCM this morning in civvies with just a small backpack and about a week's worth of stubble. TSA is doing random bag screenings at the checkpoint and I get selected to open my backpack and let them swab it. When the TSA guy finished he hands me back my bag and says "Thanks Cap". Didn't correct him.

The 737 MAX. Too complex to fly. That’s a funny one. It’s a 1950’s plane with new TV screens.
What about the 767 that just went down? Too complex?

If he was suggesting that pilots need more training and more stick and rudder skills, fine. But I for one am a BIG fan of the automation improvements in modern jets. Planes are VASTLY safer than they were 30 years ago.

He’s not being sarcastic about the fact that he thinks planes have become too complex to fly. A 737 MAX. Too complex to fly. I’ve flown the 737-200,300,500,700,800,900,9MAX. They are the same damned jet with newer TV’s. Is the 767 that just crashed too complex to fly?

No crap, the guy asking the mods to take down the thread is a perfect example of the snowflakes. I don't like what he said, it hurt my feelings, take it down! What a Cry baby. I guess cry baby doesn't work anymore, what a snowflake.

I think it’s more about mods being lenient when it aligns with their own political view.
