The an...For Air Smolik: That's a good question. The answer is the captain has the final say-so as to the airworthiness of the ship. The scheduling of the flight is far out of his hands. In my case higher authority decided to put an end to the delay by getting the passengers off and rescheduling the flight. I as captain, have no authority to order the flight to go, only to say I'm not going.Alan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12814339956021192818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532252134636526835.post-34645775993124812482014-01-08T09:13:47.521-06:002014-01-08T09:13:47.521-06:00Just livin' the dream!
