Pilot Shocked in Atlanta
I am shocked – shocked mind you – that some unscrupulous reader had the audacity to send in this photo with a note about the administration.
“Dear Jetwhine:
In yet another example of the ineptitude of the government people who manage our aviation system, I offer this photo of two 747s pointed directly at each other on a taxiway as a prime example.

What do you suggest?
Signed,
Another happy airline customer”
