A child had no business in an environment such as this, much less repeating instructions from a controller to a plane in the air or on the tarmac. I saw this report on the news this morning and I couldn't believe that the pilots thought it was cute. Children do not belong in any public workplace, period! What were these "responsible" adults thinking?!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-84184503719325706022010-03-04T10:49:52.453-08:002010-03-04T10:49:52.453-08:00Oh geez, I know, this is NUTS!
