An Athol pilot indeed. Excuse my lisp.

I'm sorry, but this was probably the most entertainment the passengers have had in a long time. Your sour grapes are showing, WK77. The jet pack driver is my hero.

I was at the hanger at GSW (Amon Carter Apt. in FT. Worth) When the first A.A. 727-100 arrived. At the time, I was just finishing selling the simulator to the F.A.A. This was American Airlines first digital simulator, and mine as well. I really loved that airplane and believe that it would still be around if it had a two member cockpit instead of Three.

This man, Harris, is not a conservative. He is a bleeding heart, self centered, bombast. If you seek an Asshole, look no further than David J. Harris.

The FAA has been going downhill for a long time (see entropy). Even in the 1990's,I had to teach FAA Simulator re-certification people how to fly a stall series. Had I not done so would have meant no certificate. Bureaucrats, no matter what field of endeavor, are normally under-qualified for their position. The fact that the Max 80 flew for 2 years without a loss of aircraft is proof that it should never have been grounded. A simple notam would have been sufficient.

I worked at the A.A. Flight Academy for 30 years and retired in 1996. I still miss it. It is very sad to see all the airlines in this situation, except for China Air.

Ed, you are not a decent human. Why waste time here and set some fires and do a little looting instead.
