Anybody remember a nut job by the name of Auburn Calloway?

THAT is why screening pilots is a good idea.

A pilot can use his hands on the yoke as a weapon or wield a crash axe.

I'm sorry - this guy is a total d-bag, probably hoping to get a Steven Slater-type response from the public.

Its a good thing the rampers don't have to go through screening. They wave their badge at the automatic lock on the bypass door.

I think he did a pretty OK job considering his lack of media training. I completely agree with his stance. How many pilots would be willing to risk their job for something they believe in? If more of us had this type courage we would have our crew pass already.

So what! Anyone can crash a car through a Wal-Mart or Target. Egypt Air and Silk Air had pilots flip out. A guy threw a brick at an off duty cop and killed him over a parking space in Baltimore. Anyone can go psycho and snap.

The guys on September 11 planned for years and knew exactly what they were doing. The next time they might be wearing a pilot uniform.

Damn, Kharma, are you part of the Chertoff group?

Rapid scan stockholder?

Do you psych eval all your Capt's before T/O.

You seem to be an FFDO type. No?

Trust.

Trust but verify! Just busting your ballz! Besides, you can't be too careful, you never know when a pilot will kidnap his stepdaughter at gun point then set the cabin on fire.....

I see this stand as a burnt out airline pilot looking for a way out. although, I still think the TSA is a joke.

TSA, when it comes to screening pilots, is a joke. The conversation always goes like this:

Pilot: " Why are you screening me?"
TSA:" We are trying to prevent someone from taking control of the airplane."
Pilot:"How will you prevent me from doing so, since I am the one flying the airplane?"
TSA: With a blank stare,a flicker of realization and loud voice: "I am keeping America safe!"
Pilot:" You have a good day now!"

I might have to steal that and have it as my signature line.

Am I the only one who thinks things may get worse for flight crews as a result of this?

 

[A350]

I completely agree with his stand on the issues....screening pilots is a four course meal in window dressing. There are medical issues here as well folks.

Has anyone ever asked the TSA why they have to pat you down after you go through their new high tech machine? Shouldn't it see all and know all?

Auburn Calloway? He should have been screened out of the interview process.
