Tough call to blow the slides. Can’t really criticize anyone for doing so. We brief what we’ll do in an evacuation on every flight. Here is my Captain’s brief: “I’ll go to the back of the jet, then sweep forward to make sure nobody is left behind. When I get there, we go down…

In Munich today, the Shah of Iran salutes pilots from the Imperial Iranian Airforce. The Shah himself is also a trained pilot, who in 1980 offered to defend Iran against Saddam's invasion even after Khomeini exiled his entire family. This is the real face of Iran.

Los Estados Unidos le revocaron la visa para trabajad de piloto porque instruyó a los del atentado terrorista a las Torres. Terminó trabajando en Vueling:
Mass defections are happening inside Iran. Former regime spokesman for Khamenei in the Kayhan Outlet, Mehdi Nasiri, just delivered a video message calling on the Shah of Iran to lead the country forward. Separately, 50,000 security forces and IRGC members have defected. Huge.
