Muscle Flexing
We understand that one Flight Service station had a somewhat unusually long hold time for pre-flight services on Friday. One or more of the pilots in the queue apparently called the AOPA, taking to heart President Phil Boyer’s admonition that he could contact the right people to straighten things out post haste!
Mr. Boyer (or at least someone in his organization), eager to throw some weight around, indeed called Lockheed Martin who in turn called the Flight Service in question demanding an explanation. All this in spite of the fact Lockheed doesn’t take over until next Tuesday.
We do like to keep things on the diplomatic side, but can’t help thinking of a few choice words had we answered the phone.
