Did they get it yet? We need more leg room but the armrests.. They need a spline between armrests so an encroaching elbow cannot invade your space!

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

"The plane is being certified to the highest FAA standards," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager...

He forgot to add............Except for the static sparking in the fuel tanks due to the carbon composite design. So we are trying to get the FAA to set an acceptable limit for said static sparks in said tank............Have a nice flight.............

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
