Sounds like Eric Ross was a ramper at Signature for a while.

Why you got to bring Russia into this??? They're innocent as a newborn baby, I tells ya.

Dude, you've gotta go to their website. It's slick, but scroll down and look at the pics of the people...ah, glorious Russia. Hahahahahaha.

"Eez no Russian. Eet eez I, Sidney Feldman."

This block chain logbook idea seems dumb.

That said, I can see the value of a third party data base for parts and having a virtual record of 8130s. That’d be worth a few cents per part. Or perhaps maintenance log entries stored in a database. Lost or destroyed maintenance logs probably destroys millions in value in the GA world per year.

Another thought: we in the US seem to be pretty honest about logging time. I can see folks from other cultures applying a more liberal pencil to show that crew members meet minimums. Maybe this is a real problem in the developing world -I just don’t know.

“Block chain” still seems too much of a buzz-word to me.

Totally agree. And I'm not saying that we couldn't use the help of some better technology - definitely at my company. But I'm pretty sure this isn't it!

I heard that a couple of Hillsboro students were caught doing this. They were found in the FBO watching TV while the planes were tied down outside with the engine running.

At least they had the common decency to tie the airplanes down. I've had students that probably wouldn't have even done that.
