Lots of the public who listen to talk radio, especially here in Dallas, think the agent is a putz. Mark Davis, in his national show today, called the pilot a "hero."
The chairman has full confidence in his crew and in what has happened.
One week they let a terrorist on board with a bomb, the next they ban a Secret Service agent without even checking his Identity and they failed to have an armed Arab at the gate detained for further questioning.
"They" didn't let a terrorist on board; the French government is in charge of security at Charles deGaulle airport.
You're starting to get hysterical again, Dave. I know you're pissed that nobody here agrees with you, except that Aussie.
I'm sure when there's a calm resolution of this, because it's in EVERYBODY'S best interest, you'll claim victory.
AA's gonna come out smelling like a rose, and the agent will too.
Left out in the cold will be the professional pimps, Jim Relman and CAIR.
Well that sounds good to me. I dont like those pimps either.
With cooler heads on both sides, this shouldnt have occured. I have a feeling that much of this was driven by the flight attendant perhaps not communicating with the pilot and knowing why the agent left the plane and then rummaging through his things, she finds a book which apparently she only looked at the cover of before she ran to the pilot. Her behavior may have spooked passengers on the flight. Who knows. I do hope we get the skiny on what really happened but youre probably right, we will never know because of the lawyers.
