You're the thought police now? Mind your own business.

The guy made a mistake for which he will pay, especially in New York.

Life's too short to take offense every time someone else in the profession does something you don't like. Do you fret over someone not wearing their hat? Tie not perfect?

Law enforcement has taken action. They really don't need your help. This is an excellent time to mind your own business.

He made a mistake and it is one of many mistakes crews make nationally that could impact KCM. So, yes, it is my business.

Perhaps you can rush to New York and testify against him, or perhaps even get in on a lynching. It's not too late, you know.

I prefer to condemn him here. Someone who doesn't get the mental capacity to remember he has a loaded gun in his carry on has no business flying 121. Wanton disregard of firearms safety, travel and company regulations.

Yawn...
My father used to bring his shotgun to school so he could go hunting right after class...
How times change...

You're right. How terrible that guns aren't allowed in airports and airplanes, especially being held by people who forget they have a loaded firearm in their suitcase.

Another nail in the KCM coffin. Thanks WN.....The group that did nothing to get KCM will be the ones expediting its demise.


Want to get away?

With your claimed hand to gun combat skills you've got nothing to worry about. All is well when CBreezy is on board.

On the bright side, at least it wasn't a UAL pilot! :)

You're being obtuse. The whole reason TSA and airport security measures exist is because of the fact that the actions of a few bad characters
effect millions. I consider the KCM program to be privilege that I am thankful for every time I use. To say that incidents like this don't place the program in jeopardy is foolish.

Every crew member that utilizes KCM for work or pleasure has the right to judge this guy. Whether it was a mistake or intentional he's putting the privilege of KCM at risk for all of us. It's irresponsible.
