Did someone say... Fleck?

Here he is: Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Mark O'Connor & Edgar Myer Live on the Lonesome Pine Special HQ - YouTube

They scare me, so I'm only going through there in the daylight!

Those aren't ghosts....they're LA based 73 pilots on the way to fly their red eyes. The one on the left is me....on my way to CMH.:D

In the above post, I meant on Facebook. Someone is enjoying a month off without pay courtesy of a certain gobmint agency.

Curious... does DL prohibit taking pictures in flight out of sterile cockpit? Nearly every pilot I know does so.

You mean the agency that certified the 787 without even knowing where the switches in the power control unit came from (uncertified) realizing that the metallurgy from tiers of outsourced vendors is untraceable, or that somehow overlooked that the programmers engineering notes on the system were written in Hindi and Russian (ie the FAA never looked)? Or the G650 on a certification flight had V Speeds which had been derived by marketing data instead of flight test?

Source: The European press is hinting that FAA certification is unacceptable. Even if the FAA signs off on the EASA might not go along. They have concerns. Source 2, US NTSB.

But hey, a guy monitoring his systems to the point of photographing them is a real risk. I feel safer already.

Can someone PM me the inspector who pursued this action?

Ethiad or Qatar? Or both?

Do these routes have to be aprooved by the US as well?

Time to drill baby drill, cut off their ImEx welfare and pull the 5th fleet and make those fake royals defend themselves while cutting off their multi trillion dollar wealth transfer and they won't be able to play Howard Hughes like this anymore.
