I'm not saying it isn't true but I just did a google and there is some question about its validity. I always prefer a direct link before I feel comfortable with such postings.

I agree...what I was saying is that it doesn't sound so outlandish as to be impossible.

I know people are saying things like "Well, why did they have purchased tickets if they knew they could have just gone as jump seat passengers..." and stuff like that.

I believe, if this WAS done, that it was done purely as a recon task. We got the buzz started, soon we will find out who this pilot is, if he even exists, etc. etc.

I cant confirm the authenticity of this letter but after viewing United 93 I can certainly believe how disorganized and hand-tied our airline industry was due to dysfunctional government bureaucracy and political correctness.
