likely wouldn't have directly affected me since it is a long haul airframe.
although anytime an disruption occur it ripples through the system.
I just got back from Virginia and the likely cancellation of flights concerned me, that and i hate flying now.

Anyone notice in videos of the 737 taking off, there is a blue "ball" attached to the tail fin? What the heck is that?

I shouldn't have said attached. It's out in the air behind the plane, on a tether maybe 10 feet or more. Like someone's balloon got caught on it. I'm serious.

If I was in one of those planes it would be my underwear drying out.

I also noticed that on one of the news report videos, perhaps some type of testing apparatus on early prototypes ?
