Her boarding pass is a waybill.

Part of the problem is that this big bureaucratic NASA cannot find the time or expertise to maintain it. It was built to government specs and now no one want to maintain or support it. They are trying to past thwe buck to Boeing for life cycle support, and this is proving to be impossible to do. I s...

Whenever I see these MP' or executives at the local airport disembark 30 year Navajos with patched up paint and boots I think there has to be a better way.
