Nice deflection by you, though---NOT. I'm still waiting for your honest, intelligent response if YOU or someone you know and love had been involved with this "saint" who "acted uncharacteristically." The silence is deafening and extremely disappointing. Will any of you stand up and be unpopular with the frat house?

And to disprove your belief that all pilots look down on all FAs, a few months ago there was a regional airline FA who was removed from a flight for allegedly consuming alcohol. I believe the majority of the posts were defending her saying it was out of her character. So just like that example, the people that knew the person involved stated their disbelief and the others who don't know the person wait for more information.

Isn't this place called the "Airline PILOT Forums", or did I click the wrong tab on my computer?
Used to have to be one to post here. Ah, the good old days...

No one should get too focused on the meaning of 'background checks'. They only will find if you've done something dumb in your past, not your future. The CIA guys (think Aldrich Ames) who got busted for spying for the Soviets went through checks that would make ours look like just a cursory glance in comparison. They're a necessary part of the hiring process, but people read far too much into them.

Then perhaps you should stop reading theses forums (and thus hopefully stop the commenting/stirring of the pot/dramatics)

Let's be clear. You answered an ad in a newspaper to get your job! You are not on the same level at all when it comes to passing any opinions on pilots. Do what it takes to get one of these jobs and maybe you will be given some respect. Until then go feed the cats!
