How they ever got a single Airbus piece of crap in the air is beyond me.
It simply proves that you can undercut any decent aircraft on price and the Airlines will go for it. No wonder the Airlines can't survive! Allan "F.L. Whiteley" wrote in message ... "Stefan" wrote in message ... tango4 wrote: How does Boeing get a non-US citizen to check out on say a new 777? This is no issue, as everybody is buying Airbus planes anyway. :-) Stefan Yes, thanks for contributing your tax euros to our tax dollars to allow airlines such as Northwest to buy these with their government post 9/11 handout. I particularly like the non-reclining seat (1-2") so that the passenger behind me doesn't have the view of the TV made awkward. Hopefully one day there will be more than QVC and other basic cable channels on offer. Frontier has painted talking animal heads on their fleet of 319's. Anyway, 500 Boeing design engineers are now located in Moscow, Russia and the 7E7 wings will be built in Japan. Boeing employees are not even allowed to take pictures of the production of Boeing wings, the technology was so highly guarded. But then, Boeing is not what it used to be either. Frank Whiteley |

(thinking back to high school)....FIGHT!!!! FIGHT!!!!!
You tell em...all I can say is I own a manufacturing plant, and am a direct Vendor the Boeing Company, for sheet metal and machined parts and assemblies...and we sure as hell are busy for noone buying their airplanes... I will further say, that most of my neighbors are airlines pilots, and given the choice, they'd prefer to Fly Boeing. |

A label on his flight bag read: "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going" :-) Tony V. P.S. Airbus makes good airplanes I but MUCH prefer the Boeing fly by wire philosophy. |

There's probably an exemption if you can prove you're related to the

It's great to see such supportive spirit for your homeland products Janusz...I happen to fly a German built sailplane...and I think it's excellent...prior to that I had an SZD-36 Cobra and loved it...it was Polish...I've driven English cars, Italian cars, German cars they were all neat to own... While I appreciate your stance on supporting your countries goods...I don't feel the same as you, that I have to mock other countries goods...or try to put other people down simply because of a minor disagreement. I do have alot of respect for the fact that Boeing pays for the development of its aircraft themselves. They take all the risk. Capitalism at its finest. I understand they are now offloading lots of work to Poland, as well as the rest of the world...truly a global company. Perhaps we can all agree that we should all be proud of our own countries developments particularly with regard to soaring...and not in any way be destructive as fellow pilots and friends. Just a thought. Steve. |

Well,=20
Sorry if offended... Sometimes it just makes me nervous if I hear = another man speaking of Poland as a country with b&w tv sets and queues = in front of empty shops. Things have changed a lot, but lots of people = didn't notice it at all. By the way, I believe it's Boeing who moves = much more work to Poland than Airbus. The EADS production is marginal = compared to all the stuff we make for Boeing. There was recently an = order for some parts for upgrading the Navy's F-14s I heard.

and Dave C is a TSA authority how?
"Stewart Kissel" wrote in message ... Tom- Dave C. at Mile-Hi said an existing license counts...I just called him. At 18:00 08 October 2004, Tango4 wrote: How does Boeing get a non-US citizen to check out on say a new 777? Do they have to do it outside the borders of the US or do they teach 'em in a sim and let 'em loose on the real thing straight away? :-J Ian 'tango4' wrote in message ... So I take it no visitors to the US can get any instruction? Has that killed all the flight schools offering cheaper flight training for European pilots? What about visiting pilots wanting a checkride before taking a club or FBO ship? Talk about overkill! Ian 'Tom Serkowski' wrote in message m... http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/regtsa.html Beginning October 20, 2004, all pilots wishing to recieve instruction - including a BFR, must show proff of US citizenship to the instructor. Very scary. I have heard from a reliable source that if a CFI allows a passenger to touch the controls, that is considered instruction in the TSA's eyes. The instructor must see a document such as an ORIGINAL naturalization certificate and keep a copy for 5 years. Yet on my certificate it says it is illegal to copy it. I called SSA today regarding another subject and also asked about this. The office person I talked to knew nothing. And of course the SSA website is also mute on this. Dennis was unfortunately on another call, so I didn't get a chance to ask him. Tom Serkowski ASH-26E (5Z) |
