Yeah, sounds kind of interesting until you consider:

a. You might get shot at
b. You might get incarcerated in a foreign country for a LONG time
c. You are flying an airplane in which you cannot, as PIC, prove the airworthiness status of the aircraft and don't have time to get a ferry permit from the FAA.

Not risking death, imprisonment, or loss of license for a job.

That said, this guy doesn't seem like he really cares about it one way or the other, who knows if he actually HAS a license anymore...

We've got a guy here who does that sort of thing from time to time. I've heard a couple of pretty dang cool stories from him.

Gup

It's not just obscure airlines from other countrys that this happens to either. I remember when this hit the news...

The FAA is all over us if we don't take our morning crap the right way. And we're to believe this article.

Call ALPA....could be the next poster child...

By the way, how did Tim Martin's meeting at the Dallas puzzle palace go?
