Summary

This document is a page from the cross-examination transcript of David Rodgers, a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein. The questioning focuses on flight protocols, establishing that while cockpit doors were closed on the Gulfstream and Boeing aircraft (obscuring the view of the passenger cabin), Rodgers was never explicitly instructed by Epstein that he was forbidden from leaving the cockpit or mingling with passengers.
