EADS going for sub orbital tourist flights

What if the pilot gets a heart attack? Single pilot operations aren't allowed on commercial airliners. A "criticality one" system is a valid concern, but single pilots are quite common on tourist flights. |

EADS is owned by two Governments, so apparently they aren't happy with capitalism having something. Glen Overby You're thinking of the 15% stock of the french government - with no voting right - and the 5% of the spanish one? If so, you have a strange definition of ownership. |

Controlled might be a more appropriate word. Witness the arguments about who's in charge and where the job cuts happen. That said, "Lockmart" is equally controlled by the US Pentagon. Come to think of it, most companies are at the mercy of powerful Governments. |

I'm surprised with your Freddy making a claim like the one above. Very conspiratorial of you. Do your handler's know your posting like this? I bet they do...
