    Your efforts are well received... but vastly misdirected. DO NOT EXPECT MEASURABLE RESULTS FROM IT.

    Go and yell it through the cockpit door next time you fly, or get surgery for all that matters (both have your life in their hands after all)... Let me know how it goes for you.

    I know airline pilots are vastly underpaid, and mostly work out of passion. I am the same in y own field... But it is not a reason to let the whole society go down the spiral of the lowest denominator. If you want to have some shards of equality and fairness in your job one day, NOW is the time to take a stand.

    I work in a country that punishes employers for taking advantage of employees.

    May I cordially ask which country is it? (Germany is my 1st bet...)

    We caught an employee stealing many $K worth of specialized maple sap pumps at my job. There is no use for them nor black market for them (tracability and all). I would be more inclined to believe most stealing is caused by cleptomania than poverty. After all, all he stole was not worth more than 6 weeks of pay, and he could not move the stuff (we got it all back...).

    you are 100% right about Ford, but for better or worse the world is different now in many ways

    Corporations now expect a profit margin so large, the only way to make it happens is to produce their products in low income countries... very VERY sad.

    That is also an acceptable outcome, as long as people I care about benefits form my chemicals when I don't need them and have some good time with them.

    I remember a lot from the book and movie, but not that detail. Sound more like a F451 thing than BNW... I may well be wrong though.

    I would like it better to be eaten (by proxy) than being used to grow grass... Please bury me under a garden when I die.

    I taught we already had gallium-arsenide transistors. The problem is cost as it is reserved for application where power enveloppe is very thin (earing aids) and switching speed is critical (telecom equipment).
