To repeat what I've already said: Unless you know exactly how this procedure works, I think it's a bit presumptuous to deem it 'silly'. We know Spiff doesn't... but do you have any further knowledge of this procedure save what has been posted in this thread? For all we know the password changes by the hour, the minute, the flight, the number of clouds in the sky... we have no idea. Oh, that's right, the FAA has a website which is updated on the hour... www.dcapassword.gov. It makes sense for them to publicize this procedure.


Wow. Such mature language really makes your point even stronger and more valid. Funny how we permit calling people not participating on FT names but it's a no-no to refer to other posters as such. If you cannot make your point without resorting to name-calling it speaks volumes of your argument.

Thank heavens our politicians up on Capitol Hill don't usually resort to such puerile language. Just because in your opinion most of the rules related to DCA are 'silly' doesn't make them all silly, especially the ones of which you have no knowledge. The only thing that's silly here are the hissy fits of some posters over rules of which they know nothing.
