Better to get spoiled than to lose your FF tickets. You realize how hard it is to cough up money for tickets after getting free ones? I hope this isn't First Class. Moving back to the cattle car is REALLY tough! That's the only reason we're going, in fact. One does so hate waste. I feel your pain. You seem to be saying that engineers told management that the fuel boosters hadn't been tested adequately and might blow up, but management paid no attention? The exact history is still murky (they just surfaced this little matter 2 days ago) but that's what it looks like. What can an additional week and a half do about that? Probably management figures that will give them and the engineers enough time to write enough contradictory documentation that they (the management) can come out clean regardless. No lives at stake here though. Just 3/4 billion taxpayer dollars. That's less than a billion. Doesn't count. Shouldn't the engineers have made a bigger issue of it? You ever heard "Shut up and do what you're told or find another job?" and there aren't any other jobs? I have.
