1 passenger name, I wanted to put whether they were male or
2 female, the passenger -- as a pilot's standpoint, it's more
3 important how many people and how much they weigh compared to a
4 person's name. We tried to be as accurate as we could. So if
5 I didn't know a name, I put whether they were male or female.
6 Q. And remind us why you wouldn't necessarily know the name of
7 everyone on your plane?
8 A. It wasn't my first priority. Most of the time Mr. Epstein
9 would, you know, indicate or introduce us to the passengers,
10 but it just wasn't -- it wasn't the first thing, you know, on
11 anybody's mind. Occasionally he would introduce and sometimes
12 he wouldn't. We would try to gather their name if we asked
13 them, if we had the time to ask them. But we tried to do the
14 best we could is to get everybody's name.
15 Q. During your employment with Mr. Epstein, did you ever fly
16 to the airport in Traverse City, Michigan?
17 A. Yes, I did.
18 Q. About what years do you remember making those trips to
19 Michigan?
20 A. Definitely in the '90s is the best I could come up with.
21 It was in the '90s.
22 Q. During what season do you remember taking those trips to
23 Michigan?
24 A. I don't remember it being cold, because I know it gets
25 pretty cold up there. It had to have been summer or, you know,
2 female, the passenger -- as a pilot's standpoint, it's more
3 important how many people and how much they weigh compared to a
4 person's name. We tried to be as accurate as we could. So if
