That system, built by a Phoenix company now out of the

interactive entertainment at each seat.

Why would the FAA be involved? The system was not sold to a
single
US carrier, nor installed in a single USA registered
aircraft. If there was an oversight failure, it was with
European/Swiss authorities.

Why would a Phoenix company be making such systems soley for
over-seas carriers?

Because no US carrier wants to spend a cent they don't
absolutely have too spend.

Because those Chicago boys had already screwed the pooch in the
US

You just have a one track mind, don't you splaps boy?

No wonder you have so much trouble gettin them 8 tracks in, huh?

Things are pretty much carte blonk for my parts, Bertie.

As opposed to carte blanche?

If you like.

In fact, Al and
George are finally getting a little break; now that the PMA assist
letter
is
in from Boeing, from their 747 amended type certificate. The TSO
packages
are written and all that is left is a fine harvest of cash.

Bwaaaahwahwahwahwahwahw!

Yes indeed.

I'll be laughing all the way to the bank, for years to come.

They let you clean behind the seat cushions finally, eh?
