1. Lend one to McCain and it'll be a smaller fleet by sunset.
Guaranteed.

2. Matter of fact I do....
...the aviation mag Professional Pilot did a piece on them awhile ago. This is part of Sam's legacy because he used to fly himself in an old C-210 to visit various sites.

5. Too bad they don't give their employees healthcare.
I refuse to shop in their Chinese child labor stores. I would like nothing better than to see them go under. Sam Walton would be ashamed of his greedy little bastard kids.

6. Welcome to the Company Store.. you do what we say....
Welcome to Wal-Mart Airlines and Travel Agency. Just another industry where we will undercut everyone and whore out America for the sake of a buck. Welcome to Wal-Mart Airlines and have a nice flight.. unless you are a Democrat or you want to start a Union in our crummy slave-labor stores.

8. My nephew is an A&P mechanic for Bombardier (Learjet)
in Tucson. I'll ask him if they service WallyWorlds aircraft or if the Waltons, like so many others, are having them done at some fly-by-night operation.
