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!!

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.

You said it's a good thing ours are getting it, I said something like another win for aviation security.

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.

Uh, no. No I'm not. This board is a terrible place to obtain anything passable as reliable information. Not only do we not know who is posting... we don't even know what airline they work for... or even if they work. At all. That was the point.

And I answered the question with a one word answer. The answer is "No."

Nope, don't think so. And no one used airplanes as weapons of mass destruction until the first time.

IMO all FA of all airlines should have to go thru security. ISIS terrorist come in all colors. Their not going to go train pilots to sneak them in a airliner. Train a pilot, they can buy their own damn plane and do it.
Take some 19 year old girl/guy that can be brainwashed, convince them to become a FA. Now their in!
