"Reagan airport" Dave Bowman Jan 30 #6

I was about to post -- these deaths are probably one more legacy of RR's poisonous reign. eppur_se_muova Jan 30 #14

Why did they name an airport after the one who fired all the ATCs? RainCaster Jan 30 #43

The back-stabber snitched on them at the House Un-American Activities Committee Dave Bowman Jan 30 #59

That too ! Thanks for the reminder. I guess that gave RR a taste for right-wing oppression. nt eppur_se_muova Jan 30 #60

Very early mandatory retirement age because of the physical toll it takes. 56. highplainsdem Jan 30 #13

So change the job to make it more managable. Renew Deal Jan 30 #19

With the amount of air traffic that isn't possible. paleotn Jan 30 #45
