We started talking after the flight when I indicated I was curious why ch 9 was not available. It was clearly real with the open discussion we had regarding the process, etc. but I know, I was mistaken, sure - right
Maybe United makes it a big deal -- I don't know United's internal policies on wackos writing in about Channel 9 -- but I've heard the story as "The FAA came after me" from two pilots and a few times on here and I'm 99% sure that the FAA doesn't do this. That's all I'm saying. I'd rather get a better excuse like the 75 Captain that told me he didn't want to end up on YouTube.
