    @facepuncher: You need to work for some Asian airline, or an airline from a country where work discrimination is acceptable. These airlines have flight attendant hiring policies that result in them only hiring young, attractive women. Stupid developed country labor laws don't allow this.

    @BergenCountyJC: Don't worry, they are just streamlining things by adopting technology introduced with the 80s-era space shuttle program. Now, rather than waiting until re-entry, they'll just burn up before takeoff, much more efficient.

    And what's the last thing thing Christa McAuliffe said? "Hey, what's this button do?"


    Yup, that was, to my knowledge, the first joke uttered only 33 minutes following the devastating tragedy. By me. Which is all the worse since, at that time, my father was working on the Shuttle program. Worse still is that it was a terrible joke.



    BOSSKEV: Yeah. I Went There. Again.

    This may seem like a dumb question, but I hope someone else thought of it; What happens after the next jet? Is it the 808?
