Are airline op-specs public documents? If I wanted to see, for example,
the op-specs that United Airlines operates under, could I get a copy from
the FAA?

Ours(um, not UAL) are controlled documents, not allowed to be released to the
public. Its not likely you could get anyone to get you a copy in this day and
age.

Not allowed by who? Does the airline consider it confidential for business
reasons, or does the FAA consider it confidential for national security
reasons?
