Pilot friend of mine referred to the "Flying Nazi's" Anyone know what he meant?

[KoKo]

He's an AA Pilot. Claims there are Pilots who post on blogs who "some of their fellow pilots" call: "Flying Nazi's." My friend is a Fundie Conservative "with a heart" (if you can believe) but he's more "Populist on Social Issues" than his Fundie Roots. He's a good guy...and we get in heated debates...but I wondered if DU Pilots know what "Flying Nazi's" mean. Is it airline pilot talk and is it some kind of AA Speak? :shrug:

1. I think they preferred to be called the Luftwaffe.

2. Probably Airtran. They wanted to be Airtrain and always run on time

but failed at both

3. Republicans with frequent flyer miles???

4. The FAA?

That's what comes to mind with me.

5. Never heard of 'em.

But I work with airline pilots, and they do tend to be a bit conservative, especially the former-military crowd -- or, at least, they WERE. With all the union-busting and the Iraq debacle, I've heard quite a lot of them rant about how bad Bush sucks. I don't know any flying Nazis at all...
