Right, Smitty, because we can work on exactly one problem at a time.

How does Congress have the authority to regulate the airline industry?

Exactly, who does that Reagan think he is messing with the air traffic controllers like that!

"Having fixed the economy, created jobs for all Americans, and ended crime, homelessness, and famine the world over, Congress finally tackles our long national nightmare of that one plane that didn't land on time the other day overshot the airport by 150 miles, endangered an already stressed air traffic control system, and created a potential fuel emergency because two dip-shiat pilots couldn't put their laptops down long enough to fly the plane"

From the track record of Congress this year?

That's about right.

Can we finally kill the fallacious argument that you are doing something wrong if you address a relatively minor issue when there are major issues still unresolved?

You're joking - right? When you get on the plane in one state, and get off in another, that's pretty much the very definition of "interstate commerce."

Yeah, but all of that government regulation stifles competition! If the government would just back out airline tickets would get cheaper because consumers would get a choice in how safe they want their airline to be.

At about 600 mph, 150 miles is 15 minutes.

Delta should charge each passenger a dollar for each minute and the government should get another dollar for their effort.

I bet they were having sex, which would make a harsh reaction from the government more or less inevitable.

Wait till these guys find out there are different committees that deal with different issues.
