If you want to check your common sense and experience at the door and do nothing more than share news stories, that is your business.
I understand Free Republic as a site where people talk about the news and share their insights. We are conservatives, and many of us long ago have learned not to take statements by the Obama administration at face value.
It is obvious that the FAA will not lift its order in 24 hours. We will see if I am wrong.
It’s not “obvious” that the FAA will “not” lift this order. The reason why is that this is a fluid situation. One cannot predict it, and can only go by what was EXPLICITLY SAID.
Now, one can reasonably say that if the circumstance that caused this in the first place - CONTINUES - then the order will continue. And conversely, of the situation does not continue or repeat, the order will be lifted.
That’s what is called a fluid situation, and as it stands right now, the order is for 24 hours!
I’ll be one of the first to update Free Republic if that time frame is EXPLICITLY changed!
If EL AL gets more business, then it means beyond 24 hours.
