Im gald it turned out well, but how long before DailyKOS or Move-ON start rumors about a Bush-McCain plot to sabaotage the plane?

Nose up. Nose down.

Controllability issues? Noooo.

You want real controllability issues. Just wait until the socialite Nancy Pelosi and tobacco tycoon Al Gore get their guy in the White House (they are going to keep that name right?)

The problem with “change” is that change doesn’t always mean for the better.

It sounds like the flight crew acted very responsibily and prudent. Elevator control is a serious issue and once a potential fault is detected, the plane should land ASAP.

The problem with his plane was that it kept going left and when they tried to steer it straight it kept on going left.
