Just a few days ago, I posted on another thread about an airline mechanic that called into a Christian talkshow I was listening to. He was up in arms because more than half of his co-workers were ME's...barely spoke any English...and there was no supervision or security in their bay area. The ME's had full run of the interior and exterior of all the aircraft being serviced. He didn't say what airport he worked at, but acknowledged it was one of our biggest. Isn't this just TOO special?
I too hold and A&P and work for An Airline. We have to most diverse workplace on the planet. Say one thing that offends somebody, and find one's self on the outside looking in. I get along treat with everyone, but if I could - I would hang the bastard who decided how to define "security" in our industry.
If there's not a saboteur at JFK and a cover-up in the US Government investigations of TWA800, Egypt Air, Swissair, and now AA; I'll kiss your ass on main street!
Maybe this is why they are so quick to want to convince us it was an accident, that planes always break apart 3 minutes into a flight, because they took the politically correct route of not wanting to investigate immigrants or profile people.
