  1. They should be prosecuted.

  2.  @TonyFisherPuzzles  I think you mean "it's no one's business what they do over their private land in their private airspace." Over public land it's the public's business. They no more have exclusive rights to "miles from anywhere" than they do to "far, far away".

  3. I wasn't expecting such a heapin' helpin' of Marxist-feminist propaganda. 0:00-0:08 ; Antagonism represented by white captain & black FO 0:39-0:43 ;implying racial tension, and 0:50-0:52 ; racist and sexist hiring. 0:58-1:06 ; 1:15-1:29 ;Human frailty represented by smiling, vaguely asian man & woman (Man has higher status) 2:10-2:11 ; Air France represented by powerful white captain  ; implies Air France is racist and sexist company . 3:23-3:26 ; Man assaulting woman 3:30-3:42 ; Peace restored by woman 3:42-3:50 ; White man assaults man 4:02-4:11 ; Smiling women 6:04-6:15 ; Angry white men 6:26-6:31 ; Angry white man 6:31-6:32 ; "Politics and religion" civil multi-ethnic, multi-gender assembly 6:34-6:36 ; Evil white man 7:05-7:25 ; White male captain, black male FO again. So women are virtuous victims, and white men are privileged and violent - apparently.

  4. The late request for approval was to pressure the FAA to approve.

  5.  @KindredAutomotive  Hasty decisions tend to be bad, so if you want someone to make a bad decision, put time-pressure on them.  If I was the FAA, and given time to consider the request,I'd've been angered at what they were proposing - to the point of suspending their licenses!

  6. My suggestion for numbers. 128 parameters at 16 bit resolution, 1 sample per second = 2 kbps . Voice only needs telephone quality - 3.1 kHz bandwidth.  Min sample = 2*bw = 6.2 kbaud At 8 bit quality = 49.6 kbps per channel. Allow 8 sound channels = 400 kbps We're all getting the job done with 0.5 Mbps data rate - 1/40,000th of what our host suggested.

  7. Licences? They should be sent to prison!

  8. So, were those pilots arrested and charged, and if not, why not?

  9. The saying is, "it's EASIER TO GET forgiveness than approval", not "it's better"!
