Re: the BA flight where the lady died. I wonder if her new traveling companion (the gentleman in the seat next to th corpse, received any cmpensation for the freakiness?


RE: the evacuation slide deploying. Kind of hard to believe, as the slide is built into the door and cannot deploy unless the door is open.


I remember, in the 60s and 70s, taking cross country flights on a regular basis. Even back then, I had a permit to carry concealed. Because it was always concealed, I never really thought about it, and carried even while flying. And, not only did we have real meals, we had real metal silverware (including knives). Cockpit doors were routinely left open, except during landings, and no one thought anything of anyone visiting the flight deck.


I too have a few sets of "pilot" wings from my juvenile flights.
