flatsville, you posted:

ROTFLMAO...Maybe this is what De Jager will look like after he boards that plane? Oh, wait...He said he'd fly only IF they could convince him of a few things?...Wonder what those few thing could be?

"I am surprisingly pleased by the tremendous progress the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the airlines have made," he told FT in early December. "I intend to work closely with them over the next few months, and if they convince me of some things, I will announce that I plan to be flying that night."


You may be interested to know that Peter de Jager has already announced that he definitely will be flying on Jan. 1, 2000 to either Japan or Europe. Presumably he has been convinced of the "few" things. I can't provide a printed reference to this but he unequivocally stated this during an interview on CBC's Newsworld in January. I saw the interview.

Do you think that Peter de Jager is a "pollyanna"?
