The background on Gil`s comment about FAA approval probably can be attributed to a conversation I had with Putnam about 3 weeks ago. I asked him if the embedded system approval was being held up by the FAA and he said ``The FAA is not an issue`` Take that for what it`s worth. I don`t know how else you could interpret it other than it`s already been approved. I suppose it could also mean they are supremely confident that the FAA will approve it. Either way it works for me as Wencor appears to be hiring additional staff to integrate into the APS / Digeplayer - Digesystem. They`re even looking for someone in Amsterdam to service the players. Isn`t that KLMland?
