"There's this single control box ... After speaking to the Captain and the airline rep, we've ordered a replacement, but it has to come from Toulouse,... France."Rob then excitedly started talking to Bertie."You heard the rumor that "Unmentionable Airways" is dumping half their new Airbus fleet back onto Bravo Leasing; well, it's true. Jimmy here says that twenty-four Airbus aircraft are due to begin arriving here starting this Monday."Knowing where Rob was going, Jack stepped in."Yes, we've been. Just a few nerves."I left my connection up to everyone else. "Were we in real danger? Could we have been hurt or killed?"Bob and Dave: "Yes and no.
