Ha. I’m more thinking of all the hotel rooms in the Hawaiian city the flight returns to that have to be secured at great cost due to these bogus, most likely college kid pranks. People miss weddings/funerals/life events because of these pranks. We have employees who actually need profit sharing checks to make their lives work. This is stealing from them if you ask me.

I won’t speak to the evacuation decision, but your comment regarding having never found a bomb on board in the past as a reason to disregard a current threat is more than concerning. A 9/11-type attack had never taken place before 9/11.

You’re not disregarding the threat by continuing the flight. These people have a specific kind of behavior and without mentioning specifics on a public forum, that is not it. This was mentioned in the last CQDL exactly for this reason - so we don’t get people hurt over the Hollywood-style stunts

I mean, we're really criticizing people for taking the most conservative route? If you have a f/a that is convinced there is an issue, you just gonna blow them off and keep going? And regarding the evac, might have been pax initiated. We don't have all the data.

They are “convinced” there is a bomb on board because they hear a beeping noise?
