More than anything else, it is the wind that intrigues Shingu. He finds inspiration in the motion of a cloud, in a blade of grass or a leaf, and he takes long Sunday walks in the woods far from the shipyard. As long as leaves dance in the wind, he is not likely to run out of ideas for mobiles...

The result, says Eastern, would be that "the air shuttle could not live up to its seat guarantee." Confronted by the argument, the FAA may very well wind up bending its restrictions for Eastern's benefit, particularly if shuttle users complain loudly enough...
