I think it says "RESTRICTED". Not sure what that means.

I flew a SWA flight a few weeks ago that was oversold so they asked for a couple volunteers to bump off. They offered another later flight PLUS $1500. You should have seen the crowd scramble to the gate desk upon that announcement.

I'll bet they enjoyed that. It gave them something to do.

This is a slippery slope! The FCC has already outstepped the bounds of it's jurisdiction. They have been auctioning off frequencies (that IT DOES NOT OWN) to the land mobile industry and made many millions of dollars. Now that they have sold off the frequencies right next to the radar altimeter band they want to impose more regulations to try to fix their mistake. When restrictions are imposed upon receivers how far will this go? It could go much farther than just tightening up the receiver specs but could go to restricting what frequencies a receiver is capable of receiving. They already once imposed an unconstitutional restriction on receivers back in the 80's to block the cellular band from receivers. What's next?

Quite a HOLDING PATTERN

“This unique combination of autonomy software and hardware will make flying both smarter and safer.” Well, we've already seen this sort of thing turn out bad such as with 737 MAX and others. I would be quite hesitant to trust my life to such a thing.

I have no confidence in the FCC and haven't for years. We've done just fine without 5G so why would we need it now? The FCC has lost my vote of confidence ever since they started auctioning off frequencies AS IF THEY OWNED THEM. They have created such a crowded mess on the airwaves, destroying good sounding analog cell phones and replacing them with this horrible garble garble digital stuff and replacing perfectly viewable analog television with stuttering pixelated digital video signals. Give back my analog cell phone. Give back analog television. At least when signal might grow a little weak you could still view it. This is NOT progress and it's because of the FCC.

When living in Dayton, Ohio in the early 1980's we heard on the news the piggy back flight of the shuttle (I think it was Enterprise) was flying a victory lap around the country and coming right over Dayton. A few of us jumped into a friends Cessna 172, got into the air and found the shuttle. We intercepted it and flew formation for a minute or two but of course could not keep up even with the throttle wide open. We were probably about a 1/2 mile away at our closest distance.

A mandate of this type is Hitleristic. The US government will not allow your or your family to sue the govt or pharma companies or your employer if any of these vaccines they force you to take causes you injury or death. Yet they force you to take them or you give up your means of income. According to CDC's website VAERS thousands of people have been injured and or killed by these vaccines. There is risk either way. It should be a personal choice without forced consequences.
