Hey John,

Nobody's going to believe this, but one day on the 74 I picked up the
RA/DG(restricted articles/Dangerous Good) form and it listed several
pounds of Plutonium on the form! At the former airline we had a TI
limit of 50, but to get cushy government DG mac contracts we got a
special exemption from the faa (no passengers allowed) that had no
limit to the TI. I remembered that our ops specs specifically
prohibited this stuff from being on board. I complained to the
captain who had the agent take the form back to ops as we sat in the
jet waiting to go. The ramp agent returned with another form that
said nuclear medicine sample, and then he clammered back down the
ladder before I could question him, got in his truck and took off. I
couldn't help notice that the Cargo doors were all still closed so
nothing got taken off. :-#

I'm still kicking myself today for not going inside and burning a copy
for the Union to see today (this was pre-union)

and I thought that glow was the moon every night!

John were you army air corps, then USAF?
