The HR department at every airline profiles. They look for a certain person with certain qualities, etc. No one likes it, but we all worked hard to get profiled by our respective airline companies and others we still would want to work for in the future. Customs just busted 226 grams of cocaine in SDF being shipped from Venezuela in a bike. I'd bet they used profiling to track it and seize it. Nothing is pure and clean in our Republic, mistakes are made, but am sure if the govt. had seized any one of the 911 hijackers competently, the howls would still be made and were with one. This Eagle pilot and those in a similiar situation will see this program improved, but the govt is not threatening to remove his licenses or ratings. Only his employer is threatening his job.
Big difference.
