Well, since we're on insider info re retirements: Don't know if this is true, but here it is:

We were told recently that an FAA upper echelon Y2K honcho had decided to quit flying as of July 1. Said the accumulation of snafus by that point would render flying too dangerous. Also said many of the FAA-related personnel are due to retire soon and will be taking that retirement very gladly.

So we're watching the news to see if accidents or near-misses or airport waits start piling up ...

Thanks, Roland ;^)

No problem, Leska. I saw your post on that thread and though this might assist you.

Happy hunting! And keep us posted, so to speak...
