Neil Cavuto Implies That Sabotage — by Labor Unions — May Have Caused the Spanish Airline Crash
That's right. The bodies of the 153 people killed today (August 20, 2008) in the Spanair crash outside Madrid aren't even cold yet but that didn't deter Neil Cavuto from turning the tragedy into an opportunity to push right wing politics, namely anti-labor, anti-union sentiment.
News of the crash was the top story on Your World and after a brief description of what happened, Cavuto turned to freelance journalist Michael Moffett in Madrid. Cavuto's first question to Moffett was, "What can you tell us?"
His second question was, "Michael, I'm familiar with this carrier because they've been having a lot of labor issues lately. Pilots were complaining about ah, safety budgets being cut; that the airline was poised to lay off a lot of workers; cut its overall flying routes. In other words, before the crash there were a lot of concerns about the stability of the airline. Do you know anything about that?"
Moffett did know about the potential staff cuts and removing some planes from routes — the one that crashed was scheduled to be taken out of service — but he also mentioned that the plane was 15 years old and later in the show there was a lot of talk about MD-80's, their age and wiring problems specific to that model.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3830839OK, there's no way on the planet that you could read what Cavuto said and take it to mean he was saying unions sabatogged a plane, unless you're a DUmmie.

1. This guy is an ass.
Maybe the opposite can be said about Saint Reagan's busting the air traffic controllers union and how having no union members aorking the towers on September 11th made it so easy for them to lose track of the planes?
This is just another reason why I don't watch FOX.
Pretty sure "aorking" is the word "working." Someone needs to let this fool know that traffic controllers are still unionized.

2. Unions don't cut safety budgets, Neil.
He didn't say that. Learn. To. Read.
