This is how cabotage starts

:rolleyes:

Well, if that is the best counter argument you have, then you must be right! :sarcasm:

BTW, notice I didn't start this thread @A Life Aloft? Others think the same way I do about this issue. Can you get over that fact?

And this is your typical immature, juvenile behavior when you cannot effectively counter what someone else has stated. (post 118)

Can you get over the fact that plenty of others do not agree with you and that you are often wrong? And stop tagging me like some 2 year old having a tantrum and demanding attention. You've done that twice now in just a few minutes.

I did counter what you said. You, as usual, ignored my counter point. So who is the one with the maturity issues?

Once again, you can't get over the fact that people do agree with me.
 
@typhoonpilot

Scandinavian media is also being critical of the Irish Aviation Authority....

http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-n...uthority-rebuffs-attacks-its-safety-oversight

Your argument about how the Irish 'is a part of the EU so they will provide oversight of Norwegian' is like saying the government of West Virginia has properly inspected and regulated chemical hold tanks next to their major rivers.

Once again, there are significant safety concerns if the DOT allows for this application.


Please provide detailed examples where the Irish aviation authority has failed in it's oversight and that failure has led to a decrease in the level of safety as compared to other first world countries.

First, I never said that the Irish Aviation Authority has failed on anything. So don't put words in my mouth. Secondly, I said...

there are significant safety concerns if the DOT allows for this application.

And guess what? The Irish Aviation Authority agrees with me!

Look at the recent accident investigation report issued by the Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) regarding the February 10, 2011, accident in Cork. In this accident, an aircraft operating between Dublin City and Cork crashed while attempting to land. The aircraft was registered in Spain and operated under a Spanish AOC but did not operate from or through Spain. The AAIU found that the lack of proper oversight of the carrier by the regulator that issued the AOC was a factor in the accident.

So here we have this agency stating that the Norwegian Air International scheme which they just promoted was a factor in a fatal accident in their country. Can you say hypocritical? How can they provide oversight when they aircraft doesn't even touch their country? Once again, they said this lack of proper oversight was a factor in a fatal accident.
 
@A Life Aloft, look at pages 14-17 of the UPS CVR Transcript.

Goes to show my earlier point about how the FAA can't provide oversight even in our own country. They had the chance to change the fatigue rules for everyone, but caved to lobbying pressure for the Cargo cutout. Do you think the Irish will provide proper oversight of an airline not even based in their own country, or succumb to external pressure, much like the FAA did?
 
I've asked you to stop tagging me. Your faulty, illogical, trying to connect the dots stretched further than a taffy puller, in the UPS incident and the IAA is asinine. Stop trying to drag me into your clueless conclusions, silly assumptions and your personal opinions. The NTSB has not even produced a full report, yet you have all the answers. That training at the I-Hop really paid off. Anyone trying to have a meaningful discussion with you on any subject, is on a fool's errand. Troll someone/somewhere else.

Get outta here! I didn't see your response until just now. Frank..................the man, the legend, the King. Please post them somewhere on here when you can and tag me. I had his cd playing last night with Jobim that had this cut on it, one of my faves. I listen to him all the time and have a lot of dvds of his concerts and even his tv show on dvd. Used to see him in Vegas and New York performing and had him on a flight once from LAX to JFK. I must have 40 cds of his music. I have danced to his music a thousand times for decades. (and a few other fun things as well while he was singing in the background. lol) I always thought that if he and Diana Krall had been in the same generation, they could have made some stunning duets.



Congrats on the gig and wish you the best, Dale.

Lady K and the Kings of Swing, is currently in rehearsals to do a complete Retrospective on Frank Sinatra’s career. Featuring long time vocalist, Dale Head, the band will begin with tunes from Frank’s first big band, the Harry James Orchestra.


From the first note this exciting show will keep you glued to your seats, but by the end you’ll be rocking in the aisles.


According to Dale Head, “We will take you on a musical journey from the beginnings of Franks career, with Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey, and continue with his jump to a solo career at Columbia arranger with Stordahl. It was at Capitol where Sinatra teamed up with Nelson Riddle for songs that are forever imprinted on American popular culture.”


Frank finally teamed up with his singing buddies, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, which, known as the Rat Pack, took up residency in Las Vegas at the Sands resort. The Sand’s in Las Vegas became the showroom of choice for Count Basie as well, and soon a collaboration between The Count and Ole’ Blue Eyes produced several hits on Sinatra’s new Reprise Record Label. What soon followed was arguably one of the best live albums of all time, Sinatra At the Sands; Backed up by the Count Basie Orchestra, with fresh and exciting arrangements by Quincy Jones.


Dale will sing a sing a song from each Dean and Sammy, Frank’s Rat Pack friends, in tribute.


Soon after the Sands album, Sinatra teamed up with the innovative Antonio Carlos Jobim for an album, introducing the sound of Bossa Nova,


During many of Frank Sinatra’s television specials, he introduced new talent to the world. This retrospective will feature a live recreation from a television appearance wherein Sinatra performed a medley of songs from that Album.


Frank Sinatra announced his retirement from show business in 1971. According to Dale, “When you have a need to perform, there is no retirement.” In 1974 Frank decided to return to the stage. He came to Madison Square Garden in a sports-like format entitled The Main Event. This comeback concert was produced by Roone Arledge of ABC Sports, and introduced by none other than Howard Cosell. Of course, like a boxer entering the ring, Frank came out swinging.

We will perform several songs from this concert event.
