"Tim began flight training in 2003 at Dowling College and from there received his first job assignment as a Saab 340 pilot with American Eagle in Los Angeles. It was there that he finished his degree in Aviation Management with Utah Valley College."

That UVU sure knows how to churn 'em out. Didn't that scab professor teach there?

I bet he insists his FO does the walk around with a flashlight. During the middle of the day.

Follow this link for the video, then a few steps to find it:

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Once you click the link, it will load the CNN "breaking news and videos" page. Scroll down, click on "international". The video is on the second row, but may move down as new videos are added. Its entitled, "landing aircraft on short runways".

Have a good laugh.

I need my CNN 777 demo pilot to be old school otherwise it's just BS. He's gotta have a fresh cut, high and tight with a good 'Merican name like Tex Scarborough. Really it's just a stupid show....good for him he thinks so little of CNN as to wear his crappy jeans and shirt. Hopefully CNN cuts him a nice check and he laughs all the way to the bank.
