Flying is hard

I didn't see anyone post this but on the news tonight they said President Leath donated more money to Iowa State to cover the plane damage and said he will no longer fly the planes himself.
Nothing special. Maybe next time don't do the wrong thing in the first place.
 
better than crashing tho tehe

Yup. There are classes for significant others and what not that enjoy flying but don't want to get their certificate that teach them how to land and what not so if the pilot becomes incapacitated they can save themselves.
 
I don't know **** about how this should actually work, but it sure seems like Leath is using his position to get all of these extra perks off of ISU. I'm sure one of his big duties is to get donations for the university, but he seems to be way more comfortable operating in the gray areas that I would be.

I've also come to the conclusion that only suckers work for 40 hours/week for the man, so I think that makes most of us the dumb ones.
 
This is more interesting to me. Obviously, Leath's boss and the Executive Director of the Board of Regents, who should be investigating Leath's corrupt behavior, have decided they're going to justify it by telling the world how great he's been for ISU. They're all corrupt!!

PS. Leath is getting credit for ISU's massive enrollment increase, but he had absolutely nothing to do with it!

Leath was spotted on a commercial flight to Dallas last Sunday morning. Of course, he sat in 1st class. Nevertheless, I would have loved to see him take his shoes off and go through security just like the rest of us peasants.

I'm sure he has the TSA Precheck. No shoe removal for him, sorry.
 
Huh, Madden must have mispoke about needing a copilot for insurance and liability issues.
Is Pres Leath licensed to fly the larger plane?

You are comparing apples to oranges. The FAA does not require a copilot. The universities insurances does require one of the university pilots to be his second in command when flying a university plane.
 
"is helping Leath make contacts with potential donors." That's my favorite quote from the University. It basically says - yeah he was just hunting.

I would be interested to see the number of donations both in quantity and dollars that come from those not associated with the university.

This is exactly how it works. He got too comfortable. He could have continued if he knew how to play the game the right way instead of getting sloppy. Then he came up with excuses that only a 5 year old would buy, further digging the hole.
