Stole all that money from Eastern Airlines' worker's pensions and didn't miss a wink of sleep. 40 years hauling bags in the snow at Logan and got the finger. Good riddance.

I am reminded of The Right Stuff and Betty Grisom asking Gus about a refrigerator full of beer and food, "Are these goodies Gus?" Betty just wanted to meet Jackie. Looks like Frank had an entirely different understanding of the goodies, huh?

When my father soloed at Langley, Gus Grissom was the Pilot who checked him out. Small world.

Frank and Eastern was an incident lost in time because of the Nasa image control. But control was what they thought was necessary when we had a free press that actually investigated things. Now the press IS image control.

Borman was Gordon Gekko before Mike Douglas was...

Sociopaths are apex predators. The are usually stopped by overreach and overreaction, or by a more advantaged sociopath. Washington and Boardrooms are full of them because those critters crawl over the bodies of those who were in their way. They are in every organization. And they have a slick veneer, no empathy, and are wholly directed by self.

no doubt ... I thoroughly enjoyed torching a couple with a finga bang they never saw coming as they received their 'pinks' during the end of muh corpshite 'murica days ... those were pure 'fockall battles'...

yeah, ref: sig line 5 ... "It is never sadistic to stand up to the barbaric - for it is they who summoned it!" - JRsec
