I think that every time that the military wishes to fly a plane, there should be a nationwide referendum on the idea. We can have polling places open 24/7/365 (paper ballots, please, to combat that pervasive voting fraud) so has not to unduly hinder the military's ability to defend our country...

I've got a couple of 55 gallon barrels of Kool-aid on the ready. Just say the word.

I find myself conflicted; my blood family fought in George Washington's army against the british during the American revolution. I myself served in the U.S. military. That said, through much study, I find myself believing less and less in the "system".

In other words, while others may be "believers", I myself am no longer a "believer".

It's weird that a pilot would punch out of an airplane that's still flying.
Unless he wasn’t actually the one flying it….

Airbus has a patent for an anti-hijack system that disables all the cockpit controls and hands everything over to a control center on the ground.

I read something saying that witnesses said the aircraft was inverted before the crash.

Sounds like fun - until the system is hacked by some 15-year-old who is bored with Flight Simulator...

So much we don't know, and perhaps never will. Supposedly the computer can decide eject you without notice. If that was the case I think that should be dialed back a tad.
