Flight Attendant KCM thread.

[SSDD]

Yeah, cause the FA who pulled the chute and jumped out of the airplane with the beer was working for a regional...and the FA who started screaming that the airplane was not safe to fly was working for a regional...and the ones that were smuggling coke from Puerto Rico were working for a regional...NOT!!!

 

[Lear70]

There are always exceptions to the rule, but in my experience, someone who has more to lose will (usually) steer clear of jeopardizing their employment.

Incidentally, the two issues you are talking about contribute absolutely NOTHING to the discussion as it pertains to KCM. They didn't smuggle something through security that would get the program shut down, they simply wigged out on the job, as did a PILOT recently.

The last issue you raise is valid, however I can name a couple Eagle pilots who were caught smuggling drugs up from SJU to MIA as well as your F/A's.

Point being, there are always stupid people in every group. I will, however, continue to maintain that people with more to lose (high-income careers for their education level) will err on the side of good judgment more often that those with less to lose (more or less than they'd make selling phones at Verizon).

YMMV

If they want to include FAs. Won’t be too long that sky cap, wheelchair pusher, gate agent, rampers wants to be part of the KCM program too

 

[list2002]

How much union dues have the FA's ponied up for KCM to date?

Most of them already are...its called SIDA badges

It's funny how this CASS and KCM is taking years you know it really shouldn't.

That's anything that our Federal Gov't gets its hands on!! Wait until they start managing and running health care, You'll have to wait 5 years for routine procedures!!

Just look at Amtrack, the US Postal Service and TSA, three outfits run by the Federal Gov't!

 

[SplitBar]

Probably the plan by TSA. Open the program up to everyone with a pulse and just wait for the stuff they catch coming thru the door.

Then shut the whole thing down holding up all the crap they 'caught people with'.

Good for the F/A's. They deserve it as much as we do and that's less waiting in line for passengers.

FAs dont deserve anything. And who cares about passengers having to wait in line.

 

[B727FA]

No, we don't need to let chair pushers, et al through on KCM/CASS--they're not crew on an a/c. Sheese...you lose your credibility when you make comments like that. I think "Dirk" is just pissy b/c he's lost some of his "status" and can't believe someone thinks FA's are actually professionals, too. Dirk--take your 4 posts and sit back, listen and learn something.

No one calls it a CE 152. At least not if they're a pilot. But then again, many guys and gals use their aircraft flown on herebas a joke or something deliberately underestimating their real world experience so I always take it with a grain of salt...

If memory serves the abbreviation for Convair is CV but I never flew one so take that with a grain of salt (and tequila and lime) too.

At a major airline we need our FA's to deal with the low life, slimy people wearing their wife beater t-shirts so we don't have to. I know at Mesa your job is to handle the bags of those scumbags but at a major we stay in the cockpit and do the flying stuff.

 

[scoreboardII]

This will last as long as it takes for the first FA "drug mule" to get caught during a random check.

The last airline person I've heard of transporting drugs was a UAL pilot a few years ago. I sure hope some idiot pilot doesn't use KCM to do the same and ruin it for all of us. Remember if it weren't for the genious's like the AWA pilots and the NWA pilots in the past we wouldn't have to pee in bottles or blow in machines.

Wait.... you mean that YOU have those sort of customers too?! General Lee says it's only Southwest Airlines that "those type" of passengers fly on. He swears that all the "real" airlines have passengers that all wear suits and ties, probably bowler hats and spats as well, and of course, perfect manners and gentle demeanors.

Damn... Hoodwinked by the General again; I just knew I should stop believing his crap...

Hi Bubba! The only people dressed nicely are employees non-revving because of the company travel pass rules. We were the only ones on the flight to Bermuda wearing long pants! I demoted the General to Private a long time ago but she might slowly work her way up to General again if she puts out.

I pee in a bottle while driving sometimes.

I don't know. How much in union dues have the SWAPA, IPA, APA, and IBT pilots ponied up for KCM to date?

You guys are sad. I'm happy for the FAs. They shouldn't have to put up with the indignity of the TSA security lines anymore than we should.
