JR, maybe I have not had enough coffeee this morning, but just WHERE did you see Gordon say that, in his observation, CDs are leaving in the middle of events to allow maidens?
I have personally NEVER seen this action, nor ever heard it even MENTIONED even during the many late night planning sessions at the hotel bar...NEVER ONCE.

Most of this discussion has been about a technicality that allows a maiden flight to be performed on the date of a sanction. It never occurred to me that any CD would be so callous or insensitive to safety that those flights might be performed in the middle of an event.

Not even after me pointing it out several times ?
How do you read that Matt? I think it is pretty clear what Gordon asserts. I would have agreed with you and find myself wondering why my impression was so different from Gordon's. On the ohther hand, he has made the case.
