And they were not removed by Reagan. The roof had to be redone and they were simply not re-installed because they leaked so badly and weren't worth the time and expense.

There should be a switch in the cockpit that automatically locks all overhead bins if the pilots anticipate an evacuation. This information should be given to the passengers during the pre flight briefing.

It should be remembered that Spirit makes the 737 bare bones fuselage then ships it by train to Boeing. This fuselage had the door plug installed on models that have one. When the fuselage gets to Boing the door plug is removed so the interior team can finish out the component then Boeing (not Spirit) does the final door plug installation. If it turns out the door plug were improperly installed this is going to all on Boeing.

I worked in commercial nuclear operations for 23 years. It was a two unit site with unit one built first. It was designed as two identical units. By the time unit 2 was finished the regulations had changed so much that final reactor required operators to get a seperate license for each unit.

Many of the doctors at the VA I go to are retired then took the VA job. They see 8 to 10 patients a day and spend between 20 to 30 minutes with each. They work 8am to 4pm and go home. On the other hand surgeons and their support staff have crazy schedules.

My daughter lives relatively close to Cape Canaveral and hears sonic booms from the returning Spacex first stage quite frequently, as does the surrounding neighborhood.

The dash screen really should be integrated into the OBD system so you can read codes etc without a seperate code reader. It doesn't seem that hard to do.

I believe they will take his passport and let him loose with his promise to appear when he has to. He isn't going into a holding cell.

The first thing I do when fishing a new area is book a half day drift boat trip and mark all the spots they fished on my marine gps app. It's stupid easy (if not free) to find where charter fisherman fish.
