Oh, I hope not...

That's correct. (You might remember a 'negative seats' call when they
exceeded the safe altitude/speed for their use) You can save only
pilot/co-pilot that way, and on the first flights, that's all there
were.

Having that now, would leave anyone else up the creek...


I think you missed the joke Joann. Note who really wrote the reply and then
the "fake" sig.

Yeah. Pat's posts are rarely serious. If it weren't for all the other
clowns here, I'd find him a lot funnier.


Sorry guys, it did slip by me....
