Michael Bloomberg Defies FAA

[wavingrl]

Bloomberg In Israel: Tel Aviv's Airport Is "The Best-Protected In The World": Gothamist

Not clear about all of this---and cannot fault the FAA for such a decision.

But, if Michael Bloomberg knows best--and he does seem to believe he does...

<Because the flight cancellations have the effect of isolating Israel from global travel networks, the actions by the airlines and FAA assumed a foreign-policy dimension. Israeli Transport Minister Israel Katz said yesterday that a suspension of flying would &#8220;give a prize to terror.&#8221;

&#8220;When possible, El Al is adding flights to Israel and various destinations throughout the world to accommodate stranded passengers,&#8221; the Lod, Israel-based airline said today in a statement. Sheryl Stein, a spokeswoman in New York, said she had no details.

Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and majority shareholder of Bloomberg LP, which owns Bloomberg News, flew to Ben Gurion Airport on El Al to demonstrate that traveling there is safe. >

Get ready, Wrongpublicans, because this is the future of international travel.

You pay ridiculous fees at airports to go abroad, in addition to them charging you for the actual travel involved in your flight. The FAA--a shill for global multinational airlines--will continue to ban travel to various countries, as will its similarly corrupt counterparts in other nations. Soon, the only way to travel from the U.S. to Zimbabwe will be to take a flight from here to Kenya, then onto South Korea, then to England, then to Japan, then to Brazil, and then, finally, to Zimbabwe. Roads will follow a similar structure, requiring those in private vehicles--which will by that time have been saved from a nationwide ban by the lobbying of multinational auto manufacturers, gas companies, and oil refineries--to drive 50+ miles to make what should've been a 10 mile trip. Trucking companies, retailers, manufacturers, taxi drivers, delivery guys, mail companies--all of them will be killed off by this new "free market" calling for private ownership of roads, introduced in response to Teabagger demands for more private enterprise and less "big government." All of this could've been averted by you just lying down and taking your medicine in the form of President Obama's America-saving policies, but you conservatards stalling and watering down his efforts will wind up hurting us in the long run, and I fear we will not be able to recover no matter how well President Obama leads the economy to perform in his final years as our dear and glorious leader.

Don't call it a grave, conservatards, it's the future you chose.

Did the FAA ban private flights?

Can they do that?

You say "defies" - WTF? How does a private flight "defy" the FAA?

I chose the word 'defies' because it was short -conveys opposition.

Having now had further enlightenment from CNN--I still think Delta and others are not wrong to suspend flights to this area--for the time being. are at risk. Delta would be sued --rather catastrophic for many people.



What can be done -what can be done? If you know --then let's hear it.

Lest any believe that the Obama FAA didn't act as part of planned effort to isolate Israel....

Liberal Media is my favorite Troll!
