Osama Bin Laden Raid: Pakistan Hints China Wants a Peek at Secret Helicopter - ABC News

Pakistani officials said today they're interested in studying the remains of the U.S.'s secret stealth-modified helicopter abandoned during the Navy SEAL raid of Osama bin Laden's compound, and suggested the Chinese are as well.

The U.S. has already asked the Pakistanis for the helicopter wreckage back, but one Pakistani official told ABC News the Chinese were also "very interested" in seeing the remains. Another official said, "We might let them [the Chinese] take a look."

A U.S. official said he did not know if the Pakistanis had offered a peek to the Chinese, but said he would be "shocked" if the Chinese hadn't already been given access to the damaged aircraft.

The accountants would say that without them you could not collect it.

And the flight attendants say without them serving drinks, meals and ensuring their safety, there would be no passengers... the dispatchers say... and the finance men say...

Dude, Pakistan, really? We're giving you all this money, ensuring this and that, and this is what you do behind our back!

Last time I checked delta was in the business of flying airplanes. Pilots fly airplanes. Everyone else listed is there to support them/the business. More pilots need to start acting and speaking like that and you would see a lot let people trying to ball walk the captains authority and a lot less people trying to manage your expectations. Walk the walk.

I once had a CA respond with 'Ok, but you need to start your service with two carts from the middle of the airplane, & make sure you do at least 3 services.' That pretty much took care of it.

Another time I said ok, but ended up leaving it off because it was light chop at worst, & it smoothed out.
