P.S. You are aware that the felon is actually another Vietnamese doctor with a similar first & last name but different middle name? Any past crime, punishment etc would in any case be completely irrelevant.

Any of us could be treated this way the next time if we demurred that “we need to get to a job interview, mother dying etc, please could you pick some one else or actually offer $ for volunteers instead of vouchers”.

Many years ago, when Eastern Airlines was still a going concern but was facing financial difficulties, they started making their pilots use the thrust reversers to back out away from the jetway, rather than having the ground crew use motorized equipment to handle the pushback. The pilots were not amused. Neither were the passengers.

The bloody lip he earned while fighting with cops? He got that when he was thrown headfirst into an armrest, how on Earth is that “fighting with cops”??

And again, this wasn’t a case of overbooking, it was a case of four employees they needed to fly to another destination and they were too cheap to charter a small plane.

Something tells me that if you were posting about the Triangle Shirt Factory that burned all those employees to death, you’d be posting “those employees had no right to destroy company property, those padlocked doors were owned by the company and it was against company policy to try and remove them!”

My first airline flight ever, was going home from Basic Training, from Augusta, GA to Harrisburg, PA....Capital City Airport. There wasn’t any HIA back in 1957. My next one was July 1958 from Hbg to Seattle, then a Troop Ship to Yokohama. Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

A new high torque electric engine than fits in the wheel is being installed in some new construction jets.

No reverse thrust needed and you don’t need to have a hire a guy with a vehicle to tow the plane so it saves money.
