If I recall correctly both were arrested. I doubt they were able to report for their flight on time the next day at MDT. If a flight cancels for them being arrested IMO that's grounds for termination. Willful negligence led to their arrest. This CA and FA crew was entirely separate from the CA with the kiddie porn issue.
You flew with the pedophile? The one who's supposedly in the federal pen in TX? Somebody's story doesn't match up with somebody else's.
The article is dated May 2007. That was before I was at 9E. Once I was at that airline I flew with him on several occasions. That I can confirm, I knew the guy, even had his cell phone number. Because this kiddie porn thing was 2007 and I flew with him well after that, I assume he never went to prison.
There are few absolutes in life, and even fewer on the internet but I can say with absolute certainty that I would not fly with a known pedophile, convicted or otherwise. I have small kids. I'd just as soon kill someone like that as look at them.
I didn't know anything about this until browsing this thread. He seemed like an okay guy to me (isn't that what all neighbors say about serial killers though LOL). I have a small kid too and wouldn't take too nicely to pedophiles. I just don't know the specifics of what exactly the police found. The article clearly mentioned they took his laptop. Regardless of the character of the person who led the police to his hotel room, the evidence on a laptop can be used to prosecute. I assume the charges were dismissed so that could very well mean it was something else that was legal (midget porn?).
