Can't comment on what was behind the IPA's position at the time because I was not privy to what was going on behind closed doors, but it's good to hear that Rob Dorsey is doing ok. I got my initial 747 capt. upgrade bounces from him in 1998, and remember him as a great instructor. I landed that thing so hard the first time (and thankfully the only time) that I dropped the O2 masks in the back. His only comment after the touch and go was to ask me if I was ex-Navy... ;-)
