OK, I am going to stick my newbie-neck out and hope it doesn't get chopped off!
Wow. I think you guys are being too tough on the guy. I have read a lot of his posts and I have never seen him say anything racist. That is a bit slanderous, don't you think?? I have seen him be proud of being American, not liking foreign-made products, discussing it, and making his opinion known. That does not make a racist. I would also venture to say that racists probably wouldn't choose to be pilots, you know, since they travel to different countries and deal with people of different races and cultures on a regular basis. Just let that one settle in.
He has a very good sense of humor that I think some of you are willing to dismiss because of personal disagreements with him.
Most of all, he is a very intelligent guy that is no doubt an asset to every flight deck he encounters. If you can't show him respect or like him for anything else, you should at least grant him that.
FWIW, I thought the caveman picture representing Airbus was funny. I believe it was intended to be funny and not disrespectul to anyone.
As I said before, ITS and I started off badly because of a case of mistaken identity. I am quite willing to look past all of that because he is a smart guy and although opinionated and I guess controversial, he is a great contributor to this forum. If I can get past it...you can too!
So, dear mods...is he coming back?? Give him a good Father's Day gift and allow him back!!
