      - I think we need a citizen based constitutional admendment to require bills to remain single subject, stopping all this rider BS, -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 26, 12:46 1
        
        It's not a bad idea. A more immediate solution would be amending Senate rules to follow the House's germaneness requirement. - ReluctantCynic Mar 26, 12:53

        I think those make a ton of sense -- nm - Epiphany Mar 26, 13:04
        
        haha, I have considered it. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:55
      - Nothing helps me. I just think fuck it this is it, hope it's painless. - Loyola Mar 26, 12:47

  - I am sure they could pull a similar story from anywhere in the US, but that area is just a hot button. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 12:48 3
    - Yep. It's just the in thing to do right now to post up more stories about how racist St. Louis is. - ???? Mar 26, 13:08

- Mine's not there yet either. #notspecial -- nm - spamlet Mar 26, 12:22 1
  - I get the sense that they started the process with people who have US Airways status and are working down from there. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:23
Air Canada has implemented a new policy requiring all flights to have two people in the cockpit at all times, the airline said in a statement today. -- nm - zork Mar 26, 12:04 23
- Norwegian is doing the same. -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 12:23 1
  - And EasyJet. Apparently in the US it's already required to have two in the cockpit at all times. -- nm - Loyola Mar 26, 12:27
- 1 pilot + 1 pilot, 1 pilot + 1 hot passenger, or 1 superspy + 1 moll -- nm - Max Mar 26, 12:14 1
  - Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? -- nm - Captain Oveur Mar 26, 12:32
- Tangent: Why do planes even have two or more pilots to begin with? You'd think with modern technology they would have got it down to one at some point -- nm - con_carne Mar 26, 12:11 2

  - Passengers will just end up going hysterical -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 26, 12:08 [youtube]
  - It's exceedingly rare for one guy to want to crash his own plane. Collusion between two pilots would be so rare - ty97 Mar 26, 12:08 5
    - I'm more pointing out the knee-jerk reaction has flaws as any policy would, but they have to make headlines right now. So... -- nm - Inigo Mar 26, 12:10 4
      - I had actually thought this was policy was one point in time. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:13 3
        
        They were saying on the news this morning that this is US FAA policy. Not for all other countries. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 12:25 2
        
        Is it current policy? I could swear I've seen the pilot come out without an FA going in. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:27 1
        
        of course, there could have been someone in the jump seat I guess? -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 12:29
