Posted by mutt in "Even Congress Is Starting to Hate the Airlines" Friday, April 11, 2008 3:17 PM

This sounds like a great idea on paper, but come on. The airlines are losing money due to higher costs and Congress wants to go out and make running an airline more expensive? Not to worry though, the government always gets things right (eh demos?).
Maybe they should fund an update to the air traffic control system instead? Or, stop bailing out failing airlines? The airlines are acting like a spoiled teenager, they bleed money knowing mom and dad (the fed gov) will bail them out when things go bad. Let 'em fail so the market can adapt and take care of itself. If you are a poorly run airline (United), you should fail.

If you are worried about losing prestige or your career or whatever over having kids, please don't have any. There are enough deadbeat parents out there, we don't need yours.

11:32 moving up the big law ladder is not necessary to provide for a family. My point is to make an adult decision to sacrifice (if needed) a bit of your career for your kids. If your career is so important to you that you can't give up a bit of it for you kids, you'll be a horrible parent. Making partner or getting a bigger bonus or whatever is no compensation for screwing up your kids.

You also talk about how important it is to provide for your kids. With even a part time big law salary or a non big law salary you can more than financially provide for your kids. You may have give up the nicer house, or bigger vacations, and such. What is needed in this world are more parents (moms and especially dads) who provide for their kids by giving them their time and attention.

I thought ATL was on our side. The open budgets and free lunches are a perk to associates too.
