AirTran Pilot Arrested!!

[Amish RakeFight]

If this guy truly assaulted her, he'd have never made it to the flightdeck. For all we know, she decided to make issue of it after the fact. Seems pride may have got the best of her.

However, I will make a leap of faith and bet that there was indeed some form of an altercation, even if a mild one and certainly physical contact, even if delicate.

Again, big ass-umption. I have no reason to believe that there was any physical contact whatsoever. In fact, I have every reason to believe that there wasn't, because he is a respected air line Captain and military veteran, and she's nothing more than a TSA-hole. Until she proves otherwise, I don't believe he even came close to touching her.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Knowing someone is meaningless. People do unexpected things all the time. I highly doubt he made any substantial contact physcially, but I do believe that something certainly took place.

People with unusual first names are believed to have large attitudes and low center of gravitys.

First, It explains that whoever hatched her and let her pick her name was an idiot and she seems to have not escaped that cycle of idiocy.

Second, it suggests that she is a member of a certain swarthy complected minority that feels they are owed something simply by virtue of their skin pigmentation.

An idiot with an out of proportion sense of entitlement and a default victim mentality. Bad combination.

Both of you are being both very presumptuous and mindlessly racist.

What about me, dammit! Don't make me start posting links to the Shirley Q. Liquors boarding announcement!

You have your opinion and I have mine.

My opinion is based upon the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Your opinion is based upon wild-ass speculation. You should give your fellow pilots the benefit of the doubt instead of condemning them before the facts are in.

Ease up on the caffeine. Both parties are to blame, as I stated. I've also given him the benefit of the doubt to a degree, which you're unable to acknowledge. It's subtle, but its there.

My opinion is just that, an opinion. Unfortunately, you don't get to tell me what to think. Based upon the current report, I certainly am making my own assumptions, and it's subject to change as more details surface. It's free to speculate. My comments were fairly neutral, assigning blame to both as I see it. My personal experiences coupled with my knowledge of human behavior tells me that it played out fairly close to what I've stated.

I'll be happy to eat my words, but to refrain from any discussion to preserve a prestine image of the pilot without opinionated discussion is ridiculous. If you think the pilot waltzed through security and this chick just happen to have him arrested for no reason at all is what I'd call far-fetched and thats what you seem to be advocating.

BTW, your statement that your "opinion is based upon the principle of innocent until proven guilty," is NOT an opinion, but law.

WTF . . . You, Sir, are an idiot. None of us knows what happened, period. It could have been his fault; it could have been her fault, it could have been a gross overreaction by one party, or both, but NO ONE KNOWS yet.

Who knows what really happened. I know it's overused, but fighting with TSA is a little like wrestling with a pig. You'll both get dirty and the pig will enjoy it.

 

[Colonel Savage]

What was she doing touching his stuff without asking him for his permission anyway? That's gotta be a violation of some kind of TSA protocol. The Colonel should file a complaint against her as well.

Fire with fire...

You are a freakin Nastradamus. You are in the wrong damn business. Why would we ever research any information about anyone when we have people like you that can extrapolate so much information from someone's name. Who needs CSI? What are you doing flying airplanes? What a waste of good talent.

Lets see you gave us:

race
her mother was an idiot
her mentality
She is an idiot
She is "swarthy complected"
and the mindset of every person that possibly looks like her

What about the name Liam, Sam, Carrie?

There are cameras at every major airport security screening station in the country. For the authorities to rip this person out of the cockpit they probably covered themselves and checked the tapes. They also probably cross checked the stories w/ other passengers and other TSA agents. With all your psychic abilities use a little common sense its goes along way. Oh and by the way as former Marine I've worked with A LOT of Marine officers over the years if you guys don't think this guy could lose his cool you guys don't know what the F^%K you are talking about. Those guys don't like being told what to do. I've seen plenty of senior Marines physically assault AND DO WORSE to other Marines for "perceived disrespect."

Exactly.

I hope this guy gets acquitted and the TSA lectured to. However, reading some of these posts gives me deep cause for concern. I have been employed at AirTran for several years and find some decent people there and some of these decent people have vexing short comings......RACISM persists in their freaking red neck veins.
