2. African Americans didn't 'cause the whole scare.

Argaaggrtgsgsa

They are NOT African Americans. I am sick and tired of that term. If you were born here, your American. If you were born there and came here, your African-American then. Otherwise, your black, and an American. Just like I am white, and an American; Not a Polish-American.

Calm the down.

No...African-American is being born by African parents IN America.

Seriously though, calm the down, it's just a term. Were not freaking perfect.

He wasn't getting aggressively angry, he was just pointing out that even though a black family may have lived in America for several generations their race is still described as 'African American' (Which is currently the politically correct term?). I don't like it either because it makes white people seem more 'American' that black people.

Political Correctness has gone mad lately .

Correct. I wasn't being angry in a bad way, just the context of the way its worded. And if you think that being born by African parents in America makes you African-American, then why on applications and other things, does it only say white for white people, and not Polish-American, German-American, Italian-American and so forth? Simply because your American if you were born here, not where your parents came from. Its just that this idiot country tries to be way too PC, which is stupid. Saying someone is black isnt offensive. Saying that they are a negro, is not offensive if your spanish. Saying they are a negro while not being spanish, offensive. Saying the longer n word, offensive.

Oh you can definately get in the cockpit if you have connections. My dad flew to Aruba from Atlanta in a 757 and I came along with him so he allowed me to take pics of the cockpit. That's him in the picture.

hhaha lol

Rabbirweasel, we were talking about getting in the cockpit inflight.

[as737700]

rabbitweasel, I think what pattyboy was talking about was getting into the cockpit inflight.  It's no problem getting in on the ground.

Quote

Thats because the flight didn't originate, fly over, or arrive in the United States of America.

Quote

Or british Airspace

Bingo

It's a lot easier to do it on flights in other parts of the world.  I've gotten in during the flight on a flight to the US, but that was with connections at the airline.


Oh, and as for all the racist comments stuff:

"Can't we all just get along?"  

Let's try to stop the argument guys

Sure you can get in easily before the flight even leaves the gate...

Was allowed into COA36 from KEWR - EGPH at the gate in EWR... had no connections, just asked the gate agent who asked the captain who OK'ed it. Came in and had a nice chat.

I only know KLM has them, not sure about other airliners.

Well that gives you slightly an unfair advantage...actually a significant advantage over gaining cockpit access. You haven't 'proven' that by just generally asking you can get into the Flight Deck during the flight.

My dad's a SFO and i still can't get into the cockpit. I know KLM pilots as well, so i might have to ask him about this when i next see him.

Ok kids, break it up! No need for a flame war!

Pattyboy, you are so lucky. You have a pilot's liscence at 16, th biggest thing yo've flown is an MD-80 (taxiied that is), and you get to go to the cockpit of KLM 747's in flight. With the looser flight laws in Curacou, I am thinking I should move down there!

Great pics!

Guh, stop making assumptions! He was saying that none of the September 11th hijacks were carried out by black people.

I don't mean to be rude, but the september 11th hijackers were not muslim. In islam it is forbidden to kill innocent people. Now i don't mean to start a flame war, but saying that they were muslims implies that they committed that act for islam. That is toally untrue. They may have thought they were, but what they did goes totally against all the rules and principales of islam!!! Sorry just had to express my feelings. Rant over
