There are plenty of "quiet hero's" here.

I can vouch that there are quiet heroes, because I am one.

They told the vendor he signed a contract, and that's the cost he'll be held to. The rest is TBD.
I thought all of the new cockpits would be the Pegasus FMS?

If there is a problem with the autopilot, well there ain't much an auto pilot can do to overcome the physics of the MD-90s pitch control.

That's a novel idea, a navigation computer that makes two guys happy when buttons are pushed. I haven't seen that in 5 years since I was on the 7ER.

Not a communist. Although it's kind of confusing.

I've been working on it since I got furloughed. My goal for 2014 is to add the T-Rex and some Ewoks.
