          More info about the system itself. Don't watch if you would prefer not to know how many things rely on the bleed air system. 😄

            That's what I said last night.

                I've seen this elsewhere. The company I worked for in Canada was set up by a bunch of former GE engineers, and was then subjected to the invasion of the zombie bean-counters. I ended up being told what to do by a "project manager" who appeared to be struggling to grow a moustache never mind a business, and had absolutely no idea what was involved in what the R&D team was doing.

                I was only joking

                          Who knows. She sounds sincere, but there's a part of me that thinks he would say that if he was thinking about suicide, too.

                            Today:

                            https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/united-airlines-san-francisco-medford-oregon-panel/5230027/

                            A United Airlines plane that departed Friday from San Francisco International Airport was missing an external panel when it landed at its destination in Medford, Oregon.

                            United released the following statement:

                            "This afternoon, United flight 433 landed safely at its scheduled destination at Rogue Valley International/Medford Airport. After the aircraft was parked at the gate, it was discovered to be missing an external panel. We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service. We’ll also conduct an investigation to better understand how this damage occurred."

                            United said the Boeing 737-800 had 139 passengers onboard the plane, with six crew members. The plane also did not declare an emergency while en route to Medford "as there was no indication of the damage during the flight," United said.

                                    Yeah, but, do you really think that Boeing would be going all Clinton Sopranos on this guy?

                                    Also, what are the odds that there's no any surveillance camera video of a hotel parking lot? Of course it could have all just gone offline for an hour or so, though that (cough ... Epstein) never happens, right?

                                      The cat was out of the bag, so no, it does not make sense that Boeing would do that. Isn't it sad that in this day and age we have to wonder.
