Spending millions of extra dollars for unnecessary aesthetic improvements makes no business sense. Especially on an aircraft that already has paper thin profit margins.

There are very specific rules to how and when a military uniform should be worn in public (and even which uniform). They have clearly violated those rules. There is no distinction as to whether you are on duty or off. When in uniform, it is to be worn correctly per the regs. It *is* an issue, completely separate from the breastfeeding issue.

How is the impact lessened by that? Are we really arguing that getting f-bombs in school is "for the children"?

Shouldn't it be used to alert about *any* killer?

The concern driving the complaint was that Boeing was going to shift all new manufacturing to right to work states (South Carolina, Texas, etc.).

It was the basis of the original NLRB complaint, but they conveniently dropped it after Boeing committed to building the new 737 in Washington.

Still no reason to not be paying attention to what's going on during a tow, though. Somebody will get hammered for this, no doubt.

I bet less than $2 million. Seems like the state could have saved a bundle by doing the test, then just hooking up to the sewer. It would certainly have benefited all parties involved.

No, you won't. Case in point: The subject of this article. If they all knew it was a dangerous stretch if driven in a certain manner, why didn't they navigate it in a safer manner? Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:37:53 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Crash-victims-families-file-70-million-claims-against-Snohomish-County-135356718.html#IDComment235511846 http://www.komonews.com/news/boeing/Machinists-reach-tentative-deal-with-Boeing--134768798.html#IDComment230993940 Sounds pretty great when you selectively read the offer like that. Add in the rest (i.e. medical premium hikes immediately, then a 10% hike every year after) and those GWI, COLA, ratification bonuses, and incentive bonuses disappear fairly quickly. Ratification bonuses are always tossed in as the shiny bauble to entice the short sighted people into buying whatever has been pitched, good or bad.

As in, why does the Army want to move the gate? Also, isn't Camp Murray a Washington National Guard facility? So, aren't we really talking about Washington NG officials wanting to move the gate?

The same thing popped in to my head when I saw the word "trash". Sad.

Get popped for excessive speed and they impound your bike. Do the same in your car, and you sign the ticket and drive away. Which one is more dangerous to other drivers...?

Certain parts of I-5 aren't really safe for motorcycles, even at or below the speed limits. Chunks of pavement missing, bad seams where they've added to the width, etc. Then you add in Gregoires cable barriers, and it really looks like WSDOT doesn't mind endangering those evil motorcycle riders...
