It's all about minimizing the cost of the upgrade. Spending millions of extra dollars for unnecessary aesthetic improvements makes no business sense. Especially on an aircraft that already has paper thin profit margins.

Bev, you should be working on your presentation instead of commenting on KOMO articles...

Even 15 years ago, there were multiple avenues for reporting that were outside the chain of command.

Don't worry about the other two words in the sentence before the "or" that actually apply, they might demonstrate you read and understood the whole thing.

Actually, you're very wrong. There are very specific rules to how and when a military uniform should be worn in public (and even which uniform). They have clearly violated those rules. There is no distinction as to whether you are on duty or off. When in uniform, it is to be worn correctly per the regs. It *is* an issue, completely separate from the breastfeeding issue.

If it is so important that the kids see "Bully" in school, why not just beep out the handful of words in question? How is the impact lessened by that? Are we really arguing that getting f-bombs in school is "for the children"?

Yeah, not really sure why it should only be in place for cop killers. Shouldn't it be used to alert about *any* killer?

The key ingredient was keeping the 737 (Boeing's cash cow) in Washington, which drove the ratification and the complaint dismissal. The concern driving the complaint was that Boeing was going to shift all new manufacturing to right to work states (South Carolina, Texas, etc.).

Nope, it's up and running. It was the basis of the original NLRB complaint, but they conveniently dropped it after Boeing committed to building the new 737 in Washington.

If he was walking chocks for a plane with no hydraulics, he'd have every reason to be near the gear (but not in front of them). Still no reason to not be paying attention to what's going on during a tow, though. Somebody will get hammered for this, no doubt.
