Seriously Ram, can't tell if you're serious or not anymore. You've become really bitter if you think our FAs don't deserve KCM. They have been through a lot and have been getting screwed for years. If they screw up that's their fault but there's no reason they shouldn't have it.
If you're going to pick a fight, say no FAs deserve it. Not just ours.

I agree with you on TSA. But, our pilots go through a six week course, does that make them twice as safe? A pilot has a LOT more ability to negatively affect the security of an aircraft than a FA does. But, there has to be a level of trust, a level of trust or we paralyze ourselves.
Most ridiculous statement ever... anywhere.
Pilots don't pass a GED and 6 weeks later walk into a cockpit. Even if they did, THEY CONTROL THE PLANE. No weapon required. Flight attendants (even the ones with a PhD) would be hard pressed to win a wrestling match with me, and even the ones that could take me, I'd appreciate at least a fighting chance.

Thank you for making my point.

Not screening ANYONE that doesn't already control the aircraft is a security risk. This should be plainly obvious to the most casual observer. Couple the control issue with ZERO barrier to entry and you have a recipe for disaster. I'm not saying other FA's should have it, but ours shouldn't. You said it's a good thing ours are getting it, I said something like another win for aviation security.

Okay, I see your point now, no one but the pilot at the controls of the aircraft should have KCM.
I disagree, but I see your point.

The FA's should 100% be KCM! Add the ground crews too. They have access to the plane. Check their back grounds!!
Just a question about one of our pilots. So I was deadheading on one of our flights, we all boarded (full flight), sat at the Emerg exit, but the front crew wasn't there, eventually they made it in, did their stuff, door closed, CA came out, grabbed the Phone and started his PA, lots of info, keep in mind it was hot, pushing close to 20 min late, etc. What caught EVERYONE by surprise was his explanation on how to close the foward lavatory door, " -DONT SLAM THE DOOR, IT BOTHERS ME WHEN IM RELAXING-" then proceeded to the lavatory door and showed everyone what he meant, "slam the door, closed it softly, slam, soft, slam, soft".....after that, some other weird remarks... Drops the phone (my add) and walks away with 145 open mouths.
Has anyone experienced this?
To his credit, the one thing that bothers everyone, generalizing here, is the AM visit to the lavatory after the coffee and the banana that people do.

A certain pilot from Trinidad? Ya I know him. Good guy but I don't have the heart to tell him how cheesy his whole schtick is.

Have there been any problems with the thousands of FA's at other airlines already participating in the program?

Geez, plus it's awesome to stand behind them waiting while they dig through 5 bags and additional cat memorabilia they got at the Mall of America trying to find their driver license or passport.

I don't know where he's from, he did have an accent, came across as a little angry, but it was something different nonetheless. Remind me of Bill Murray and the squirrel "don't drive angry" scene.
