American Airlines on CNN

I guess the NTSB is out of a job.

What i said was in the context of this post. The NTSB has power to investigate accidents and make recomendations. They have nothing to do with what we are talking about. Go back to momy.

OK. Forget the NTSB. Captain's decisions are questioned all the time. In this case it will be questioned by his CP and at the executive level. Then the lawyers will question them. Captains are only gods for the time they are on the aircraft. Once they are off every decision can be questioned.

Have you ever even been a captain?


Who's momy?

You think that either the TSA or some gate agent is in a better position to determine if these pax were a security threat? Let me tell you mosdef, the TSA is more interested in trying to identify pilots with alcohol on their breath and the gate agent is more worried about getting the flight off their gate so they can run outside for their next smoke break.

If a TSA agent or gate agent makes a wrong decision, they still get to go home to their family that night.
