You guess he couldn't afford one?
The guy works for Mesa, of course he couldn't afford one!!

He is a "tool"

Just when I think I have heard everything.....someone surprises me.

I don't know what is worse, a regional pilot who will fly anything the mainline management can throw at them at the expense of someone else or a regional pilot who has such poor judgement that he would steal something from a customer.

Sad times indeed...I hear a giant sucking sound and it is the sound of my chosen profession going down the drain.

Maybe ALPA can get him his job back.

Hopefully this chump loses his ATP. I'm pretty sure that stealing from passengers while in uniform violates the "Be of good moral character." requirement.

If I were the other guy, I don't think I'd have gone flying with someone who just lost his career between security and the gate. Talk about mentally/emotionally unfit for duty.

Heck, J.O. will probably promote him to VP of flight ops...they have a lot in common!
 
Probably the same asshat that rifles through other people's brain bags when no one else is in the crew lounge.

What a turd.

You mean the #1 most unenforceable part of the CFR? Just checking. Good luck with that.

Not condoning the Mesa pilots actions either. One pilot screwing up makes us all look bad, whether it's showing up drunk or stealing from passengers.
 
Oh, and I thought this was going to be about BBQ. How disappointing!
 
I just want to know how he walks into crew operations every day. I mean, his name is in the paper for a totally dumb-455 thing he did. How do you explain this to your peers when they undoubtedly will ask you (and you can't use the BS TSA confiscation line)?

I felt the same way 10 years ago when that UAL mainline psycho was arrested for killing his wife and sawing her legs off in an attempt to dispose of her body. The drunken mainline Airbus idiots pissed me off too.

The industry's been in decline for years and that sucking sound is the vacuum from the mainline cockpits that allowed this decline to happen by their weakness and self-interest.

The sucking sound will soon disappear (and already has at Eagle) as the vacuum equalizes as the bottom of the mainline dips well below the top of the Regionals.

Sadly, this incident doesn't do much damage to Mesa. I don't think that outfit can get any lower than it already is..............................................

I thought that was a Delta pilot who killed his wife, froze her, and put her through a wood chipper into a lake, Fargo style. He got caught because when he returned the rented wood chipper, they found bone fragments inside. Lesson learned: buy the wood chipper, don't rent.

What the? you've got to be kidding!
Just when I think people can't get any crazier, somebody pulls a stunt like this.
You'd think that if he rented the chipper that at least he would wash the bone fragments off.
This guy is a real tool.

Him too ?

God, it's been a nuthouse up in the majors................I guess anybody can slip through the hiring process there as easy as the regionals.

I'm referring to that banana up in Chicago (DC-10 F/E at the time), who was caught in the garage before he could finish the job. My guess is he saw what his fellow majorees were in the process of allowing and cracked.
 
WHOOOOAAA THERE!!!!!

​
I wasn't there, I've not seen the tapes. However, I'll be D@MNED if I take anything that the TSA says at straight face value. These arrogant oxygen thieves would do anything to get their name in the paper. It wouldn't suprise me at all if this turned out to be a misguided delusion of grandeur on the part of a former check-out clerk at wal-mart. Combine that with a well-known desire for sensationalism by the press, and I see the ingredients for serious slander.

I don't know this guy at all, but I think perhaps we should not rush to judge. He is, MESA and all, one of us.

(Now, if the dumb sumb!tch did do this, he deserves to have his ATP revoked.)

Police said Christopher Newton, 34, was spotted on camera on Thursday taking a iPod out of someone else's container while going through a security checkpoint.

We're all pilots here, and most of us have even worked in other types of jobs before becoming pilots. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, pilots are some of the cheapest people around. Not all, but many are. Where do you think they come up with the joke about how copper wire is formed? Two pilots fighting over a penny.
It doesn't surprise me that a pilot stole the ipod.

What does an ATP have to do with stealing (BESIDES the moral character?)

Shouldn't he be punished in the exact same way that another passenger would be punished if they stole the iPod?

They are right when they say that we eat our young, or whatever it is that they say like that.
 
He has proven himself to be far too stupid to be allowed to continue in this profession.

I'd say it's more a case of "Culling the Herd" than "eating our young".

Would you want your family in the back of the plane with their lives depending on his decisions?

So just out of curiosity, will this thread be deleted like the ASA craigslist one? That thar looks like personal info to me.

From the rules of flight info.... here ya go.

NO personal information about others or members of the forums, except by Websitemaster/Moderator exception, may be posted......

I will not stand by and watch you guys destroy someone because they made a fullish mistake. Not to mention the liability that allowing such behavior imposes on us.
