Support Glenn Duffy... Say "Adios" at JFK/LGA/EWR and ZNY

[TXDA2000]

I grew up with a flying dad, criss crossing the country in a Senaca, doing ALL the talking on the radio at 14. My kids have all been in the cockpit of my current corporate ride and have made the occasional radio call. Not heading into JFK mind you.

Being professional doesn't mean rigid black and white adherence to the rules as much as being able to use common sense.
It's nice to see the overwhelming majority on here have a common sense view that a Father spending quality time with his son and in no way shape or form jeopardized safety is a good thing.
This case shows how 24 hour news (entertainment) has perverted our society.
I just had a small kid in the cockpit while we were on the ground boarding, I let him sit in the left seat with my hat on for his parents to take a picture. I'm sure there is some "news" person out there that could twist that into "I broke the rules and jeopardized safety".

I feel bad for the father, but also, just think how this poor kid feels.

Adios

Did you ask him if he'd ever seen a grown man naked? :laugh:

Huge. You don't train controllers in the tower cab.

I was in a tower last week and saw a trainee in the tower cab. With my own two eyes.
