I find this hard to believe... And talk about entitlement! Look in the mirror...

I think someone needs either a chill pill or a woman......

I'm also not sure what's worse, paranoia or ignorance.

They were allowed in because Delta management was facing a union vote by the flight attendants when the pilots got KCM. ALPA got KCM for the pilots and Delta wanted desperately to prove to the FAs that a union was not required to gain the same benefits/privileges.

Richard Anderson pushed hard for FAs to be included in KCM.

OK folks, lets please steer clear of SSI (security) details and procedures.

Thanks!

This is a common occurrence. Many people have concealed handguns and forget they have them and show up at an airport, f/a's included.
If you can't remember or forget about a pistol/sidearm being on your person, then you shouldn't have one at all. People forgetting about a firearm in their possession is a **** poor excuse for this type of nonsense. , f/a's included.

Airline worker claiming to be federal agent pulls driver over... | www.wftv.com

That guy definitely remembered he had a gun, he even gets to bypass.

Can someone explain to me how it is possible for a FA employed by a major airline to receive three dui's serve jail time and still keep their job?

Yes, we certainly know there are no pilots that would do anything to jeopardize the program....

I hate to see non dues paying non union pilots going through KCM. That's a program that those of us who paid dues over the last 10 years made happen.
