Totally rocks.

His name is David Cook. There are a lot of people called David Cook. He's the one in this story:

I'm buying Dave a beer next time I see him. He could probably use one about now.

Stupidity does run rampant... :whatever: :thwap:

Good for your bro-in-law! Why are the FAA using and risking live air traffic when a simulator would do great for what they were looking to test the trainee on? These FAA yahoos need to be transferred to the coldest most desolate airfield under U.S. control. Anyone know if there's an airfield on the furthest out island in the Aleutian Island chain?
