Yeah, I guess if you are playing Patty Wagstaff, they could have been close to stall. Maybe in my haste to bash the news I didn't think that through enough.

But, when it comes to the Government officials that the press find for quotes, yes, they seem to find the idiots. And former NTSB member doesn't really mean anything to me in terms of credentials. Does the name Jim Hall ring a bell??
