Deny jumpseat to all faa personnel

[redflyer65]

Any FAA inspectors on the flight deck and you all don't see a problem?

They (the FAA) signed off on it Becket, why don't you take it up with them? I think they have a number in OKC somewhere, good luck.

If the "FAA" signed off on this there would be a national directive, memo, e-mail or something... Any body have a copy?? (Or a copy from your airline.)

Until a copy can be produced it is rumor. And it would not come from OKC. Think more like the big white granate building in downtown D.C. across from the Air and Space Musuem or higher.

What? JAFI, do you even fly planes? Talked to an FAA inspector or POI?

Our POI signed off on it (the FAA), and you think it's a hoax....ahh, okay. Why would they need to issue a nationwide directive? You believe in black helicopters if you like, I'm done.

OK Red, take a deep breath - sit back, relax and try breathing into a paper bag for a while.

An Inspector or any POI cannot set a National Directive to stop all FAA Inspectors from riding in the jumpseat. They can "Sign OFF" on what ever they want but it is not -Guidance - (read -an Order/Notice/Memo) until it comes from HQ or at least a Regional office. .

Do I fly planes - yes, and ride the jumpseat conducting Enroute Inspections. Do I talk to Inspectors (or a POI)? - yes, some times thirty in one day. I also get all the FAA e-mail and I have not seen or heard anything about this. But we live in a dynamic world. I'll check tomorrow.

So FAA inspectors are terrorists? Figures

Moot point now but this morning? No sh** the FAA signed off on it, that's what was so disturbing.

This actually just made sense to me. I have heard it for years. He is speaking metaphorically and it is an apt comparison in that there is a limited amount of data that can pass through the system at a limited rate of flow.

It is a parsed, non-contexted edit, but it seems as if he is cautioning against a threat that could swamp the WWW. This is an established hacking technique and one that China and large groups of smelly basement-dwelling, Mtn Dew Code Red swilling ne're do wells perform with with regularity.

I have no great love for T Stevens previous to this post, known partisan admissions aside.

Carry/flame on.

How's that shoe taste, JAFI?

An event happened on a very small scale for a very short time. Because of the nature of the event it was rightly kept quiet. (At least by most). Some people reacted outside of their legal control. They were educated on what they can legally do and not do. Others will get to meet people they never wanted to meet and will wish they never had. Event is over, go back to your normally scheduled program.

Sorry, No foot in mouth for me. An event did happen, There was no broadcast message to inform all, My statements were correct in policy and practice. People went out side their "normal" authorizations to meet the event. We live in troubled and dynamic times.

I always liked CFR 91.3 - "...may deviate... to meet an emergency..."
