Agreed...but as stated...that is what happened...all we know is that before he departed, the fuel truck sold him another 160 gallons of fuel. No mention as to what he had on there to start with...agreed, very poor info and could be very misleading taken out of context.

Well...they are clearly eluding to the fact that it was strictly a pilot error situation, no red flags have been raised at all about any mechanical failures on the aircraft...at least not yet. Very sad situation.

I've always disagreed with a forced gratuity as a patron...just as I disagree with a 'unearned' bonuses. If I know I am going to get my 15% tip on your bill, what drive is there for me to be a stellar waiter, or other occupation earning that gratuity. Now, if it is up to the discretion of the patron, you are going to be on your A-game to try to earn that tip. Only downfall there is if the kitchen screws up a meal, the patron will not tip, but the bad meal is not specifically the waiters fault, but the waiter got penalized for it, so tips still need to be pooled somehow and dispersed at the end of the day.

The culprits are hiding you see...they are not in the government offices trying to sell the Nassau grouper...they are hiding out in the streets trying to sell their catch. you can't expect anyone to go looking for them...even when you are told point blank where they are!! Just one more prime example of why we are where we are now...there is zero enforcement of our laws.

Sadly while this whole VAT thing has been 'earmarked' for debt reduction, it will never be used to pay down debt...just fund more politically motivated schemes and pockets.
