    F.A.O. virago:

    Name one incident where the airline operations or governing authority permitted for said aircraft to operate beyond manufacturer-prescribed safety parameters. Anything from the last 30 years would be fine.

    Yes, and this morning I couldn't get into it, it was so crowded full of people who don't like to be treated as captive consumers of bullshit, so I had to go into a fully infotained carriage.
