I don't know about all that but I have a guess about the subject. I am not a pilot but I do work at an airport ( not a thrower either ) so I do know a bit about aviation politics. I would say most pilots think these actions are a bit absurd but are used to seeing the same kinda bull everywhere they look. Pilots see more money thrown away on asscrap weekly than you and I (pretty much regardless of who you are) make yearly. Today I charged a pilot $397.25 for a couple of sandwiches and about 1/6th of the fuel his airplane could hold (125 gallons) and the guy didn't even bother to check my math. So another 13 grand ****ed away for a little "**** You"? I bet a lot of pilots think it would be worth it.

teh best part of this whole mess was not covered in the article

the judge in Brazil, when he passed this new regulation, said it was because Bush was as bad as Hitler and finger printing Brazilian citizens was, I QUOTE, "as bad as any human rights violation the Nazi regime ever engaged in"

could be just me, but I think getting finger printed is sort of mild as opposed to being BURNED ALIVE.......,

Agreed

You mean Brazil as in the country next to columbia? The one with no extradition policy?

Ask him if he's commercial or GA (general aviation). This will make a big difference toward his answer to this question.
