Fed busted with a gun on flight...

[Ticker]

After bypassing security on the flight out he gets busted coming back. I foresee a bit less competition for those flight deck jumpseats for a while.

Whoopsie! Not good.

Ehhh...upon further review, it appears they will still get the jumpseat but will be required to be screened.

At least there isn't a crash axe on the cockpit to be used as a weapon either.

Then there was the other one this week who was traveling with his wife and she had a gun in her bag. Surprised that one's not in the news yet. Took 3 days for this story to break.

Commuter pilot with a funny. Many of those FAA workers "who can't" are better educated than you, make more than you and are in demand worldwide for their engineering expertise. You? Just a commuter punk. Enjoy.......

Relax there chief. You give the feds a little too much credit. Part 117 being their latest blunder.

I guess that depends on what the purpose of the rule change really was.

Or maybe they were one of us, and lost 15-20 years of seniority and their retirements when their airline was destroyed by greedheads. And then they had to make a high sacrifice for the sake of their families.

Punk is right.
