BBC NEWS - 'Pilot fatigue' caused Air Canada jet dive

This link: BBC NEWS - 'Pilot fatigue' caused Air Canada jet dive was posted on the JREF under the heading "There's a lesson for you UFOlogists here..." No, there isn't. There's a lesson for the corporate and bureaucratic greed that demands pilots -- who are astoundingly underpaid for the work they do -- fly when exhausted. Ah, but the OP uses this story to marginalize the idea that pilots are trained observers.

What People Are Saying About SkeptiWatch (formerly Snarly Skepticism!)

I want to give you accolades for your snarly skepticism website. I LOVE it. I Wish I found it earlier. I have been somewhat depressed about the fact that so many people on our side want to "play nice" and have "polite conversation" with pseudo-skeptics. I mean, these people want to destroy us. It seems like every day a new libelous statement hits the internet about someone on our side, and most people on our side would rather "reach out" to these evil people, or at best ignore the pseudo-skeptics. You don't reach out to such people and you don't ignore them and hope that they go away - you go to battle with them. We're in a battle for our existence, here, and it is encouraging to see somebody else, unlike most on our side, who has more of a "FUCK YOU!" type of attitude when dealing with the pseudo-skeptics. ~ Mark Stublarec
