A senior aircraft pilot said Sankat could not have stolen the plane because it must have an auxiliary power unit and other ground support hooked up in order for the engines to start.

Is AA flying 321s into Melbourne, FL or is that some type of heavy MX/paint shop base?

Wait. You guys don't have an APU towed over and hooked up during engine start? How do you pressurize the chem trail packs!?

How is it people think it’s okay to steal commercial airliners for whatever reason? And then try to steal an American Airlines aircraft.

Wow! This will only make getting through TSA that much worse and the people who want to steal the airlines aircrafts thanks, Ranks right up there with eating detergent pods. Awesomeness.

Well neither perp actually went through TSA. TSA exists to prevent people from taking weapons or explosives onto a plane. Other procedures are required for stuff like this. The system worked in MCO as far as I can see... security caught him. Also unlikely that he could have started up, taxied, and taken off for reasons I'm not going to discuss in detail here.
