This makes for an interesting read. The article is pretty long that's why I did not just copy and paste it here. Did not want to unduly overburden the database.

Aside from a wildly rambling article with no apparent point, there are few snippets of inferred quotes that I hope this Capt. didn't really make.

For this disruption on the aircraft, he diverted to ANC and offloaded the twins. They were arrested by the FBI and stayed in Jail in ANC for several weeks. After they were released, no airline in ANC would allow them to ride AND UAL vigorously pursued prosecution. Exactly what part of the system didn't work? He removed disruptive passengers and continued on. CLR/CRM is a crew tool, is it any surprise that the trailer trash twins on their way to a "modeling competition" didn't listen to the Captain? They could care less.

Dear God, get over yourself! My understanding is that it's not only common, but it's SOP to have pre-departure brief with the cabin crew before an international flight.

 

Consider the source. I trust the Fox News Network more than what comes out of the Seattle Times.

 

LOL

No kidding. "...wildly rambling..." sums it up pretty well.

 

Boring read....

Ok, guys, just sharing here. I never vouched for the author or the cast of characters in his article. I also never said the Seattle Times is any great publication. "Wildly rambling" can be interpreted as interesting. hee hee. Slow day today.

 

I always tell my passengers the most dangerous part of any flight is the drive to the airport.

 

Don't worry Vega, I'm not bashing you. It gave me something to do besides packing all day.

 

I know, jd, no worries. I posted that article precisely for all the bored masses out there who live on this board. hee hee.

Pack all day? Where are you going?

 

moving to a cheaper side of Orlando. I was hoping I could get a job before my lease was up here, so that way I wouldn't have to move twice.
