What? How is funding a executive and the current administrator of the FAA a good cause? Now I know people in general like capitalism, but to fund the very people on the top with your money? He surely get free travels as the admin for the FAA, but if he doesn't, he can surely afford travelling many times over with his family without making a dent in his own economy.

Maybe your comment was sarcastic and I missed that. Sorry if that was the case.

You missed the whole point of this thread :)

To spell it out again, the idea is to put the dude on a long flight with the 737MAX he just recertified.

I can hardly miss the point if I started the thread, can I? :)

I'm not against my idea of putting this man and his family on a flight. I'm against starting a gofundme (basically raise money for him) to fund this adventure, when he or his employer should be able to pay for this just fine.

Haha your second comment looked so out of place I didn't even look at user names.

Can I buy you a sarcasm/black humour detector? :)
