The powers that be keep booting my posts from this thread. I guess they didn't like my TIC comments. (Sorry, but after it became clear that there was no loss of life, I do like to make people laugh. Obviously, that is a crime in this "professional" forum.)
I will never be anything more than a weekend pilot, but I am a frequent passenger on many carriers. This year's assignments will take me to Alaska, Vietnam, Thailand, and Washington, D.C.
No doubt I have been sitting behind many of the pilots who have replied to this forum and will continue to do so.
If your so-very-serious input here will embolden your professionalism...more power to you. I am not offended by the moderator's propensity to boot my comments.
I will just sit by and watch while accumulating those air miles....on and off the ground, so to speak.
