As far as the testing, the FAA Approved it.
The carrier says it proceeded under the assumption that local FAA officials had the power to approve the company's plans under so-called supplemental flight rules.
Assumption????? Won't sound too good in court.
I wonder how many of you hiding behind your avatars will have the ballZ to look a jetBlue guy in the face and say the same things you do on here.
If I had to guess, I'd say more than the number of you, that had the ballz to come forward with this while it was happening.
