RE: It's like a puzzle...
Isn't this fun......now we're doing jig saw puzzles.
We're now all expert in the nuances of what tired old technology ACARS represents, and how they'll be overrun by AFIRS....and we're now all semi-certified avionics technicians with all the 'cut and paste' work regarding 'C' checks.
It's impressive how the computer age has made us all so knowledgeable ...and able to discuss in great depth subjects that are truly foreign to us.
I'm sure that a good, healthy debate on the finer aspects of proctology won't be long in coming.
The next big puzzle will be to figure out how many of your 515 China contracts will ever come to fruition...now that might make an interesting subject.
The prerequisite for the discussion would be that one be able to spell....now how do ya' spell 'SURPRISE'.
