Just unbelievable. Sooner or later an airliner is going down.
This is an email going around. Someone posted it last week. I have no idea if it is true or not.
I thought one of the procedures implemented after 9-11 was to have everyone away from the forward lav when one of the cockpit crew needed to leave the cockpit?
It is only a matter of time. Catch and release is stupid.
This is very scary. I saw that our airlines are all on high alert again. So there is probably much truth to this warning from the people who saw this happen.
saganite, I see you posted on the thread linked at 5. Could you address my comment in 4?
Last time I flew both domestic and international, that was the case.
Lots of male fliers I know are just HOPING something like this happens on a flight they're on. My husband, a 6'6" 250-lb trucker, firefighter, and a former semi-pro defensive lineman, is totally itching to take out a terrorist, LOL.
Yeah, the meet and greets are history. The flight attendants announced that the forward lavatory would be off limits while a member of the flight crew was "on break". They pulled the curtains to the forward lav and stood in the aisle, in front of the curtains and made sure no one approached until the flight crew member was safely back in the cockpit and the door closed and locked.
Sounds very similar to the stunt by the supposed "Imams" - where the passengers got nervous and demanded the men be removed from the plane.
Looks like that might have been the first trial run .. let's see how far we can push the passengers and crew.
If these guys were so difficult to handle .. why weren't they removed before the plane took off ..?? Or were they calm and unassuming PRIOR to the plane getting into the air ..??
Is the threat of a lawsuit damaging the bottom line more important than allowing ME's to destroy the lives of hundreds of people - including the crew (and all the families of the passengers) ..?? Seems to me .. that lawsuit (by the families of the passengers) would take the airline out of business even faster.
Good grief! Have we learned NOTHING ..????
No I don't believe we have. PC will be the death of us!
This doesn't make sense. How come they weren't restrained and arrested?
Something sticks in my gray matter that we should replace the hot looking, weight restricted flight attendants with people like M. Thatchers husband.
PING.
American Flight 62 isn't from Paris to Miami. Its Miami to Paris.
