Default Bogus!!!!

Taxiing past a weird looking aircraft today in Madrid on the parallel taxiway.

It was a Cubana IL-96, but I couldn't break out the digital camera because we had a fed on the jumpseat....

all...

eight...

hours...

But here's an a.net photo of what it was: clicky

A former Eastern guy too. He even instructed me to check 'the list', which he wasn't on.

You know what. . . I actually think that this is a sign of the strongest integrity possible.

It's his attempt to make sure the crew understands that he was, and is, on their side. Sure, he is a FED, but - to make sure the crew checks "Da list," for himself. . .I dig it.

Who is the engine maker for the IL-96?

Nah, it's the Eastern Scab list (guess you could call it a no-fly list). The guys that crossed the picket line back in the day found themselves on "the list."

Not a good place to be found!!!!

How in the hell can they not afford cars in Cuba, or have money to repair lot of their infrastructure. But they can afford to buy a multi-million dollar airliner?

Three guys in a 76 cockpit is doable during in the early and late phases of flight, but FOUR, geez.

Turns out he was a maintenance inspector doing an inspection at Airbus and the Feds were too cheap to buy him a seat or something.

Because Cuba is not in a state-wide state of poverty that many have been lead to believe.

Some parts are very prosperous.
