RE: Sure, Give Halliburton Free Reign In Iraq...

This is an accepted business practice in Africa. It might violate what we consider ethical, but they have a whole different set of rules over there.

Halliburton would be wise to fess up and say that they did indeed bribe someone because that's how business is conducted in some countries.

Airplay: There's two ways we can resolve this: 1.) You can explain what happened and to whom it happend so we can collobrate this. 2.) I can in touch with folks from the NTSB, FAA, and DOT and see if I can't get to the bottom of this. I'd rather not do all the legwork here. - Neil Harrison

How did both pilots end out outside the cockpit for starters? I'm pretty sure that the SOPs/regs state that in a 2 person cockpit one pilot must always be at his/her duty station.

I agree. I believe that story, that Airplay is referring to, is fake. I think it's been debunked.

2.) if you can win on the facts, make up your own!
