    You missed the key words in the Wikipedia article. You will also shut down the pilots buttons to the Stabilizer when you shut off MCAS. However pilots also have a manual trim wheel they can use in almost all conditions. We pilots are trained to evade emergencies rather than fix them later.

    KEY word. Pilots safely flew that airplane for close to 2 years. Tens of thousands of flights were made safely.

    That injustice creates a backlash. My father and his colleagues used to get even with their west german colleagues by simply taking company property and selling it. Since all in east germany get paid less, all did it.

    In public service you simply call in sick for a week and get paid holiday that way for free. In end result trying to treat a group of people bad, usually backfires.

    I thought Sobo was referring to the British colonies in America. Yeah, if you had in India and other British colonies no doubt the British killed millions. But they didn't in the future United States which means they American colonies did not revolt against them because of any humanitarian reasons.

    Ich kenne den Kram, habe damals schon gelebt. I'm fully aware of the events. My post was not meant to describe the chronological events and the domestic political details (of course the GDR was pretty much broke, despite F.J.Strauß' credit), but to point out the utterly absurd notion that Reagan's speech created a unified Germany, which is a painfully simplistic version of the events. I assume we can agree that the so-called Monday demonstrations were essential in what led to the reunification.

    On the terrace of the 'merican embassy. If you feel pleased about that, fine.

    Reagan with his arms race broke the USSR's back and nothing else. It was Bush's support of Kohl's unification plan which helped the 2 western allies and after some rather tough negotiation Kohl/Gorbi to agree.
    It was Bush and not RR

    So, you admit to being a thief and your family being a family of thieves?
    Stealing from your employer is a big no-no in the US.

    Stealing from a abusive employer is a victimless crime.

    You do not admit a damned thing Reagan did when in Russia, do you? Democrats seem to be in the dark when it comes to Reagan.

    People may see you as abusive to excuse stealing from you. Be careful what you pull on others.

    No it’s not. You don’t like your employer you go find another one.
    You pretty much answered why East Germans get less than west germans. I bet it’s known in Germany that employees who come from East will steal your company’s property and will abuse sick days benefits and will milk you to the max.
    By the way, one shocking observation I made about the US when I moved here is the work ethic - (most) people here work hard and work honestly. Workplace theft is very uncommon. I know that in Europe that’s not the case. I worked with lots of people who could never use up all of their PTO here and with each new year the PTO is lost.
