[BITList] Open Letter From American Airlines Pilot

[COLIN TAYLOR]

gie’s a brekk indeed, Hugh

I have mentioned this before – but such politico/religious/racist rantings and lies are meant to stir up shit and are generally incorrectly attributed to some person with standing behind whom the cowardly author hides.

They are not going to appeal to the intelligent, balanced and mature BIList member – so why do we keep getting this shit – if there is a point to it, I don’t wish to know it!

And for those who say there is always the DEL button, I say consideration and common sense before pressing the SEND button is a more mature approach. 

If persons passing on such drivel can’t help themselves and think they are doing us a service – I suggest they pass these ‘gems of effluent’ on to an audience who may be influenced/interested and cease and desist in cluttering BIList with it.

G'day Hugh 

In AUSN, E&A and BI old flags of all descriptions, signal, house or national, were cut up and used for cleaning brass work. Very efficient too. I bet the modern synthetics don't do as good a job, but then again, who cleans brass work today. What brass work?

  I can scarce forbear to comment. I read (addressed by some fical Yank, to some fictional Muslim about the latter's homeland) - "Do you pledge allegiance to its flag?"  What utter, creepy, bullshit.

  I've never pledged allegiance to a flag in my life, and never will.  A bit of cloth??? The Danes, who decorate wedding cakes with dozens of small Dannebrogs, use the actual flags for dusters when they wear out, as do we with whatever flags we choose to fly for whatever reason.  Ours flies from the top of a dead cactus-type thingy that looked as if it would appreciate a flag. The flag is rather woebegone, tattered and none too clean, as was its predecessor that was binned without a single bugle note.  So what would the fictional airline pilot make of the non-fictional me?

  Gie's a brekk.

  Hugh.
