FAA To Ban Plane Crashes
OCTOBER 30, 2011 | ISSUE 47•43

WASHINGTON—In what officials are calling "a much-needed policy shift," the Federal Aviation Administration announced this weekend that it would ban all plane crashes. "After a careful review of flight data from the past 25 years, we've determined that customers, pilots, and the airlines themselves would benefit significantly from a strictly enforced no-plane-crash policy," said FAA administrator Randy Babbitt, adding that pilots involved in fiery plane wrecks could face a steep fine or even suspension. "The practice of crashing an airliner into an ocean or mountain will no longer be tolerated. American consumers deserve better." According to industry sources, most commercial airlines are planning to fit in as many crashes as possible between now and Jan. 1, when the ban officially goes into effect.

Ahh man, no fair! So you mean to tell me that I was encouraged to crash into mountains this whole time?

We should start a petition for this one too...

In a rapid response to the U.S. announcement, DGAC, the French Civil Aviation Authority announced that it was in direct opposition to the new U.S. policy, primarily because they are the French and are basically against everything. DGAC went on to say that all commercial pilots who believed it was their given right to crash would be welcome to fly under French authority. No experience necessary, and Airbus pilots are especially preferred.

Well seeing as this is sourced from The Onion is BS. In case any of you were unaware The Onion is a fake and untrue news source.

In case you weren't aware, this was posted as a piece of humor, not a factual piece of news...

And Tom, let's not crack jokes at the French... They've had enough abuse from us already... Let's get working on the Italians instead

Cheers!
Rahul

Best piece of humor in this thread is that Mr. Moebius is now apparently a fried onion!

The French are against anything the United States does, how soon they forget if it wasn't for us, they would be Germany!

Now I am in a dilemma of conflicting requirements:

FAA 7110.65 says: Don't let them crash,
My wife (often) says: "You are late for dinner: Tell them all to crash!"

You must not have been married long enough to know the rule -- your wife is always right even though she's rarely right..... "Airliner 123, dinner's on the table and my wife is yelling at me. Crash at pilot's discretion, no further ATC available, radar service terminated, frequency change approved, Cya!"

Or when in confusion, use the following 2 rules, they always work as they have only one outcome which ever way you apply it!!

Rule #1, your wife's always right
Rule #1, When your wife's wrong, refer to Rule #1
