Plane stolen, crashes near SeaTac Airport

  1. Yeah, I don't think taking off and flying are the hard parts .... landing would be tricky but that wasn't really a concern for this guy ...

    This article says the guy was financially stressed because after several years he was till not making $15 per hour:
    Remains of airline worker who stole, crashed plane found on island in Puget Sound - NY Daily News

    Seriously? My kid was working a summer job as a utility/maintenance guy's helper (where my wife works) and he got $15/hr. My boy is 16 and in HS! Damn people are getting screwed all over. There has to be a fundamental change in workers' living conditions. Step one, people need to stop rooting for the king (owners/rich titans).

    And it isn't like Washington is a "right to work" state. But I do know the major airlines have expanded their reliance on the "feeder" airlines like Horizon, United Express, Delta Connect and American Eagle that pay far less, and likely aren't unionized.

    Where the hell did you come up with the idea that guy was a white supremacist?

    Fixed. Apologies to the misidentified and inflammatory description.
