A Skywest pilot would never do such a thing.

Yep. Something ALPA pushed for and spent lots of money(our money) to get thru, potentially gets ruined by a non-ALPA , non-union pilot.

This has nothing to do with KCM. It was a .380 and he wasn't an FFDO. Sounds like he just forgot he had it in his bag.

Oops.

If he passed through security in the US the day before and it was missed, that's a problem for TSA. If it wasn't caught because he went through KCM, that's a problem for the program.

You're right, because an ALPA pilot would never do such a thing... Think before you speak next time.

Yes. First thought was FFDO. This sounds like problem if access through KCM.

If any of you numb nuts would have read the article before commenting you would have comprehended the following facts:

1. The TSA has stated that Mr. Petty used Known Crewmember at SLC
2. Mr. Petty is not an FFDO

It does relate to KCM. We all undestand he wasnt a FFDO, and doubt he had diabolical plans. Packing a hand gun in your lunch box may as well have been a grenade to the TSA, its a prohibited item. Pilots + prohibited items through KCM = ???
We speculate tighter measures taken as it concerns to crew security and searches.
