Just flew with a NYC crew where a young FA was running up and down the jetway with a disabled PAX's helper golden retriever. Fun to see.

Not to change the subject, but............

Anyone based in DTW use Dr Dana Bush (Waterford, MI) as their FAA medical examiner?


I have used him for about 3 years. Great guy, helped me a lot with my sleep apnea and the FAA. But has very limited days, and fills up fast.

Yeah, I'm sure my post sounded condescending. I should have known better. Sorry, it wasn't meant that way. I understand your point about flying across the States where there are plenty of diversion airports verses flying across the pond, but to increase risk for an extra four to five hours to save gas doesn’t seem like a good plan to me. Especially considering I don’t have to pay for that gas. Ha The truth of the matter is that 747’s have been documented flying all over the world with only three running, so maybe I’m just overly cautious. Of course we both know what the FAA has to say about it. Our tickets would vaporize if we did that. So much for Captain’s authority.

And the dog is trainable!

Awesome labrador dog fetches a beer from fridge for owner! HOW cool!? - YouTube

The young F/A?

Not so much...

(I know this only because 25 years ago I married a young F/A, she still won't get me a beer or 'roll over'!)

I know right. Too bad they couldn't have gotten engaged on a mainline 737-900, perhaps out west.
