*************************************************
You are on a 747 flying to Asia.
Suddenly, on approach to land, the head flight attendant gets on the public address system and says...
"Attention all passengers. This is an emergency. The pilot and co-pilot have both suddenly died. Are there are any passengers who can fly this plane and safely land us?"
Two passengers volunteer to help. Now, you, the passengers must vote on who will land the plane.
The first passenger to volunteer is a fully-qualified professional co-pilot from another airline. He's flown hundreds of flights and logged thousands of hours flying commercial jets. He knows 747's inside and out. He knows all the major airports, runways, and regulations. He knows how to talk to air traffic control. He understands how planes work. He can land in the dark, or in any kind of weather. He says to the passengers, "I know this plane inside and out. It's my job. I've been doing it for years. I'll get you all safely on the ground, on-time."
The other volunteer is a hockey mom from Alaska. She has taken a few flying lessons in a small commuter plane in the wilds of Alaska. She has logged only a few hours of flying time so far, and doesn't even have her pilot's license yet. But she says, "Look, the fact that I haven't been flying with the big airlines and don't have my license yet, is actually a plus! I'm an outsider! You don't want someone from the big airlines to land this plane. You need someone just like you -- not some big shot professional pilot! See, I don't play by their rules. I do things my own way!"
Who would you pick to land the plane?

Its just plain unfortunate that they even considered her as a potential candidate, if all that Americans care is to have some pretty looking candidate on TV everyday she would rank high in that department.
