The OP misspelled the last name: it is Bourgeois with an “e” and is pronounced the way Leftists pronounce it.

Theophile (beloved of God) is pronounced Tay-o-feel. Close to that anyway.

The NOLA news outlets are saying the FAA warned him about exceeding the mileage limitations on his pilots license a couple years before the crash.

Correct, depends on where he was leaving from. Often he was flying out of St Bernard’s Parish so put him within Nm. I don’t know where this flight originated so I can’t comment

It’s 75 statute miles for me from my house, by boat, to the Nth lighthouse of Chandeleurs and I have to go to the waaay east end of Lake Borgne and cut through three mile pass and get into the Chand sound. 120 to south end of the island into Breton Sound. Those all on the “ground”

I'm not entering the ring with this one - I have a distinct advantage over those of you unlucky enough not to speak 'the tongue of saints and angels'.

One of the students on a trip I chaperoned recently is Irish and she spent many of her evenings talking to her friend back in Ireland, Caoimhe.

Suffice it to say, the pronunciation she uses for her name would be very awkward for a teenage girl in the US to have.
