Good point, concerning freedom of speech in the land of freedom. In the US, this freedom does not exist in uniform without the company's written approval, but without it, you can't win in court. That's why these companies have so many regulations with fairly detailed chickenfeed built into them. In many other ways, to paraphrase a recent article by Mr. Richard Drury (author of "My Secret War": Skyraider missions in...) which was in either "Airways" or "Airliner" magazine, 'the attorneys and beancounters are attempting to fly our planes' from their large mahogany desks.

Heck, at a certain major airline, the crew had to keep all paperwork from any flight which lasted over about six hours, so that the company could easily find a mistake if any incident took place.

Ja, don't ya know. OK now, hold it down Ole...
