  1. Still no recognition that the minimum wage is set too low. There that help ya out some? Or is this what you want? IMO it is not too low. If it is not what you want to use it for, fine, still not too low, IMO. It is not meant a living wage, but a minimum wage. It is not that hard a concept to understand, or is it?

  2. Not for what it is intended for. It is not a "Living" wage, it is a "minimum", and it is pretty decent when applied as intended. If minimum wage is too low for those individuals, do like Bill pointed out, work harder, get the raise, get the education, make yourself worth more for, more pay.

  5. Those 106's are pretty loud planes. Their Engines sound as loud of not louder than the 727, and if pushing hard to catch up and then, going to max flaps and using power to not "drop like a rock" from the sky, they will make any land bound none plane expert think they hear two large jets in formation. When did they break off their flight and get replaced by the Trainers? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. Not such a low base if you have 500 people working for you. Now we are talking over a million dollars, and that is not even taking overtime into account. The current minimum wage is set low. Hence why people have had to go into so much debt just to stay afloat. A million dollars in wages going into the economy sounds good to me. We are losing sight that "Minimum Wage" is not meant as a sole source for life's needs wage. It is an entry level pay scale, for high schooler's, as a supplemental source income for retirees, or one of several jobs. The mind set of this one minimum wage job is how I will pay for all is wrong. The mind set of work to improve yourself and MOVE UP in the pay scale and better support yourself with one job, is correct. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  8. He, along with Boehner, Pelosi and many other Republicans and Democrats, made some kind of list not to long ago showing how they played the Markets with their insider trading knowledge. It was such a accurate list that the insider trading law passed quickly as a measure to control the issue. I am sure some one has it at the ready here.

  9. Well, what is new in that? Seems to be a part in the "police training" of US officers these days http://edition.cnn.com/2012/08/12/us/new-york-shooting-duplicate-2/index.html How many cops followed this single man, deadly armed with a knife? Did your cops ever have been trained properly on shooting just into a leg, a knee or the shoulder, like ours are?You Marksmen are trained that way, not your every day beat cop. The every day beat cop is trained to negate the threat. Stop the man! That's first order for an armed cop here. Avoid deadly shot as far as possible. Your armed society really is so polite We just have more personal freedoms, allowing our society to openly disagree and post our PD's incidents, unlike other countries. You really can't help yourself and HAVE to be negative towards America and Americans in every chance, huh? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. Airtwardo, Is that a reason or an excuse for what she is doing now? Robert99 WHAT the xxxx am I doing now? Well, you might have to retract those words in the very near future! Perhaps you will have more than egg on your face when things I have stated are presented to more than just this thread. I have NOT seen YOU state ONE thing to DISPROVE anything, I have told. NOR has the FBI presentrf anything to disprove Weber was NOT Cooper. Perhaps this is a GAME for you and others - IT is NOT for me. It is about finding the truth about Duane Weber and Dan Cooper - be they one and the same or not. Where will they be presented, Jo? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  11. A dollar a year for ten years. Not too revolutionary. $1 per year is approximately equal to 2¢ per week. I doubt it would have any noticeable effect for anyone, not even if such a raise was given every year for ten years. If he raises the hourly minimum wage a dollar an hour (each year); isn't that $40 a week? $2080 a year per employee? and that is $20,800 per employee, over ten years?

  12. It's even more fun watching people think Republicans of today are anything whatsoever like Republicans of even 30 years ago. The dems are even more disconected from the past. What ever happened to "Ask not what your country can do for you........) Really? You think only Republicans step up for community service by being firemen, teachers, police or the military? Volunteering to coach Little League or mid-night basketball? Act as helpers at the Special Olymipics? Wtf dude? You guys are arguing about Politicians and how disconnected from their past and from the people they are. That is kind a like arguing over how wet water is. They are politicians, they only connect to the campaign money. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Knoss, Make the "Adios" permanent and that will definitely improve this thread. And while you are leaving, take Jo Weber and all the other characters with their favorite "Cooper Candidates" with you. Robert99 Hey! I figured you out! You get everything wrong, backwards..... You're dyslexic, aren't you? YOU need to leave since everyone other than you is "wrong." You're in the wrong forum. But I can't find a forum you fit in.... Try the Obama Campaign, they NEED your help. Or, "Save the Whales". They got a ship leaving if you hurry. Any committed "sucker" job should be easy bait for you. You'd fit right in.

  14. Ah yes, when presented with facts and proven historical data, you must use the good old PA. The use of a PA shows one has no argument, no point to debate. Insults from you, like I told Jo, are more a statement towards your character than any thing else. Your story, is so fluid, it should be used to ease the nations water shortage issues! So now you and Jo have two completely different stories on how it could be Duane Weber. But at least in her circumstantial story, she has circumstantial evidence. I do not think it adds up, as do many here, but at least she has some form of evidence. I would actually like her to be right for her theory, just to put the egg from her face, on yours.

  15. So the dead man committed the hijacking? or provided a tie to the hijacker in his death? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. In 1935 the Forest Service established the Aerial Fire Control Experimental Project in California, and experimented with dropping water and chemicals on wildland fires. Although the retardants tested proved impractical, the improvements made in delivery of cargo by parachute helped set the stage for later experiments with parachute jumping. By 1939 the Aerial Fire Control Experiment had moved from California to Winthrop, Washington, and was directing all its efforts into parachute jumping. Nine jumpers worked on the project, along with two consultants from the Eagle Parachute Company. During the summer of 1939, some 60 experimental parachute jumps were successfully made into the forests of northern Washington. Matt You only quoted what you wanted to be known. These were only experiments regarding the chutes. "experimental parachute jumps" from what I have been told it involved a lot of dummies.See above
  17. I don't need you to repeat your off track trash for me. Duane's father made plane parts, big deal, 25+ years before the hijacking. SO not hardly the same materials and not the same model plane. You have NOT connected Duane a Derry, you have suggested it. Your history of the Smoke Jumpers and 555th has been corrected. Your own admission has the family out of touch with Duane the con for decades, hardly a good way to gleam information and skills. So stop with the side trips, put out proof that makes headway. If you want info you go get it. The rest of us feel this is a dead end and are not going to waist out efforts just trying to complete a family history.

Nor does it exclude, or include Duane, as having worked with any part of the 555th or the USFS Smoke Jumpers, that started in 1939. His father having been a piston drive A/C Machinist in the 30's does little for a hijacking of a turbo fan in the 70's. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  23. Well, the entire battalion was NOT sent until the early summer, but a group had already been to WA to be trained by Derry in the VERY early spring - snow was still on the ground. If they waited until May - many lives could have been lost to what they feared was CHEMICAL WARFARE. Perhaps you need to talk to your superiors about getting a higher clearance level. So you can TEACH the HISTORY of the 555's Operation Firefly! Use your noggin! "They" actually went to the N.W. before May of 1945. It was only the OFFICIAL move of the battalion in May this is referencing. SOME of THESE GUYS were ALREADY training in the WA area and housed at a place where locals noted strange thing had been going on." Any proof? even the Officers of the unit dispute this, the Army Records, USFS, as does Derry's notes, and the book "The History of Smoke Jumpers". Again it means nothing until you can prove it has anything to do with Duane. Plus you still have to get him ALL the skills he needs to make the complete jump. Just observing won't cut it. I have been on the bridge of numerous A/C Carriers, I am not capable of driving one! I have flown IN numerous Cargo A/C and been on the flight deck on them all, I can't land 'em! I watched every episode of McGyver, but I can make a bomb from a paperclip, pizza roll, and a spark plug! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
