Flight Opts pilot arrested

[El Chupacabra]

Thats even better if he was in a restricted access area. Now he has federal charges. TSA NO FLY list for that.

Yep.. The prosecutor will sit down for a day or two and get very creative thinking of all the possible local, state, and federal charges that apply. He's screwed.

OMG!!


This guy was in my new hire class at FLOPS. Saw him about a month ago in SMO. Wow.

Kind of a goofy guy.

PHX,

I, too, remember him from my new hire class at FLOPS. I'm trying to figure out who you are, but am drawing a blank. Your experience lists fractional before a major (furloughed, I assume). I thought there were only two of us furloughed guys in that class, and neither of us worked for a fractional prior to our airline. Dang, my curiousity is killing me and I'm drawing a blank. Can you give me a memory jogger?

Thanks,

DH

He is screwed, from what I heard is that options already took him off of their list of pilots, he is fired from what I was told, and in terms of guilty, if he is, he will have a felony record for life, that will prevent him from ever getting a security badge or passing a background check, he could even end up on the do not fly list, but that would be worse case, but at the least, he will never be able to pass a background check which will prevent him from working for a 135/121 operator, I guess if he gets to keep his license, he can get a 91 job since they don't require those kinds of checks, but I am not sure if a felony for rape will keep you from losing your license?

It looks like I won't be taking part in the "bring your daughters to work day" at Flight Options.

They probably just started playing a game called "Just the Tip" and she freeked out.

P.S. Damm, he's a junior guy too, so I won't move up any seniority numbers when he's fired.

Have you sent in your card? I would bet that you and the last guy that thought this comment was so unbelievably hilarious have not sent your cards in.

I for one think this comment is NOT funny and is one of the main reasons we fail so get the unity we need to organize. Too many people that haven't been affected by the changes at FLOPs are just happy to see all the senior guys leave so "my number goes up."

Well what will you guys say when they come after YOUR domicile or YOUR pay or YOUR quality of life? Hope your number has gone up enough to make you happy when the $hit hits the fan. But hey, at least you'll see the ship sink with double-digit seniority.

Do you have a pic?

O.K.... My turn to speculate...

If this WAS NOT consensual why then would this gal sneak in to a restricted stairwell with some guy she just met on the plane ??? The article said that authorities were trying to determine how they got in there in the first place and that the area was only accessible to airport employees...

This guy is still an idiot and deserves anything he gets IMHO.

Because that is how you get off ASA planes. On the ramp and up through a stairwell. And it's a SIDA area.

I know, done this many times... I was referring to the article that stated that this particular are was only accessable to airport employees. I can't imagine how you could "get the deed done" in the normal areas where passengers disembark.

Like I said, just speculating. Really don't care. As far as I'm concerned he should be jailed just for being stupid...

I think most people figured out my seniority remark was sarcastic. Too bad you didn't.

I think everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves here. This guy's name will never see the "No Fly" list. How many Jones, Williams, Smiths, Andersons, Murrays, ect have you seen on the "no fly" list? That list is Arab for the most part. Felons for the most part are allowed to fly all they want. Is Martha Stewart allowed to fly? The "No Fly" list is for people deemed to be a possible threat to aviation and/or national security, not typical felons. THink about it.
I also think FLOPS will help him with a lawyer if it comes to that. Since he was essentially "at work", Flops would share some of the liability if he was found guilty and she sued them, which will probably happen if he is found guilty. I just cant seem to figure out how he got from the gate to this stairwell forcing her to go with him. Also, what the FAA will do is anyone's guess, but to assume part 91 operators do not conduct indepth background checks is not accurate. 91 operators, though not required, typically conduct background checks well beyond the scope of any 135 background check. I can't imagine GE, Starbucks, Home Depot, ect would let anyone even close to one of their cockpits without going through all the hoops, including psychological evaluations.

[batsky2000]

I know many pilots who work for part 91 operators who never had a background check done on them not even a drug test which is also not required, but most of them came with excellent credentials anyways

I guess that when the victim was asked how she knew he was a pilot she was quoted as saying: "Because I had to help him."
