Doing the people's work.
Had a conversation with my boss today. We talked airplanes.

Specifically, we talked about the ban on the use of cellphones on airplanes. I took a moment to rant about how it's silly, because the strong transmitters are in the towers, not the phones. If you can get signal, then the plane is already suffering all the "interference" it's going to suffer.

He thought about this a moment, then told me to write a letter to the FAA, from him, asking for a detailed technical explanation as to why he can't use his cellphone while taxing a runway. I said "yes sir, I'll get right on it". I even managed to hide my grin.

So now I'm demanding explanations from the FAA, care of the Congress of the United States.

I love my job.
