It's the airplane's emergency flashlight too. A big no-no at our company to use it for a preflight!

You mean you don't use the blunt end of the crash axe on walkaround to slap at the tires, such as big rig truckdrivers do with their tires on the pre-trip inspection?

At Eagle the cockpit flashlights are not emergency equipment and can be use by the crew.

Perhaps it's not a flashlight. But a "tall boy" of whoopass.

OR even better, a sheathed light saber from his time at the Jedi Academy.

Indeed.

 

[MikeD]

Indeed.

I mean, I realize he made ALPA look stupid for their failure to fact check (which they readily earned)....especially with his selection as a Code of Ethics Role Model; and for his part he deserves what he brings upon himself for the lies.
