Balsamo has been handed his rear so many times over the past 6 or 7 years if he was ever told to haul a** he'd have to make 2 trips. From the ground stop to Gopher 06 to the Pentagon to the cockpit doors to ACARS to an aircraft falling apart as soon as it exceeds Vd speed to this latest smackdown of "flutter" and aeroelasticity standards by the FAA - in short virtually every aspect of what went on that day. He has consistently been only one thing - more screwed up than Hogan's Goat's soup sandwich about practically everything. He's been banned from *every* forum he has ever joined - except his own, and if there is any justice in this world, he'd ban himself.
He is a fraud - an obnoxious fraud at that - and the fact he has such a limited following 8+ years after he started his 9/11 windmill-tilting is proof he is really a half to a full bubble off plumb. No question. Anger management is a problem for him, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is a reason he is not flying any more That website of his continues to bring in the most absolute craziest of the crazies, something he and his worshipers seems to enjoy and promote. It remains some of the best free entertainment on the web! Chemtrails, nobody died at Sandy Hook, MH 370 landed at Diego Garcia because an IBM engineer pulled an iPhone out of his caboose while blindfolded in a room with no light and took a black photo and texted it to some unknown someone - what is most interesting about that place is what will come out next!
