I think the whole point is, why do pilots have to go thru security. Doesn't anybody realize that a pilot can kill everybody on that plain without TSA seeing his junk? I can understand why the general public has to go thru security, and it's up to them what they put up with. But as pilots, where we have to go thru this everyday, it's getting ridiculous. And really makes no since.

And are you saying he doesn't have many kids?

Above the fruited...

I'm sorry but that's just stupid. FFDO's walk onto the plane with a gun. They have the same ID and uniform you do genius. Sheeple these days!

No they don't. This discussion shouldn't go further because it involves sensitive information. But they certainly DO NOT have the same ID I have. I'm also not a sheeple, thank you very much. I'm very much a person with a BRAIN that can see when something makes logical sense and when it doesn't. There's a lot of TSA bull-carp that makes no sense. In this particular case, the TSA policy actually does make sense, until such time that there is a secure crew ID system.

Yeah, CNN was a fustercluck. All last week was... intense. I didn't sleep for nine days. Didn't even know you could do that. I told my counselors I was an F'd up wreck and couldn't go on tv, but I guess it had to be done. I've had a little rest and am hoping future appearances won't be so jacked. In any case, I'm resolved to keep telling the truth because without it there's no freedom. And our freedom is under assault. I did a radio interview for about an hour that went much better and explained some stuff. More to come...

What's your point i don't think they should have weapons on the airplanes either? The FBI and Secret Service have their own aircraft and if they want to take their guns they can take those planes.

My point is that over the years I have seen the proffession deteriorate to the point that that we are nothing more than airborne bus drivers and searches of flight crews in front of their passengers just may be the ultimate insult. The foolishness of searching someone who will be at the controls within a short period is sublimely ridiculous. Even passengers see this and comment on it. Whatever you think about Michael Roberts is irrelevant, He may be the only one announcing that the king has no clothes.

SD, look into Ambien. Its FAA approved. No need to use it all the time, but nice to have around.

 

[dicko]

I dont, judgment this bad cannot be limited to his politics. What if he strongly disagrees with a flight operation procedure or manufacturer's guideline

There is a fault in your line of reasoning.

He disagreed, said his piece and went home. He didn't get in a cockpit and suddenly decide he disagreed with Embraer or Expressjet in the middle of a flight.

The real Raoul would not be pleased with you ....

Thanks, I'm actually sleeping okay again and I think I've got my media legs under me now. I did a CNN interview this morning and another local tv thing yesterday without any trouble. "I'm feeling much better now.." [crazy grin]

I'm using facebook as my central point of communication now if anyone cares. Check it out.

You can't even put together a lucid comment on Flightinfo moving zero miles per hour and without cameras and interviewers.

Enjoy your fifteen minutes.

Vingus you a D-ouche! That guy as done more for all of us than you ever will.

But even though naked body scanners may not enhance air travel security, they do accomplish something far more intriguing: The successful completion of an experiment in human behavior. If you were to pose the question "Will people line up like cattle to be electronically undressed in front of government security officers?" The answer is now unequivocally YES!

And virtually no one protests. That's the really amazing part about this.

I'll take the "opt out" thank you! Not sure I want to be part of this experiment!

You make me sick. This guy is fighting for what he believes in and with that fight we all will benifit.

The only thing you have to say is that? You can take your 2.5 year upgrade at Jetblue, sit reserve in BOS and enjoy life. You are one of the many problems we have in this industry. Make your aurgument useful if you do not agree.

Ahhh, I see his problem now. Excellent subject to be a follower instead of a leader when it comes to cutting edge civil rights.

Just another sheep to the slaughter. I forgive you Vingus and will continue to fight for you and the rest of the sheep that cannot see the forest through the trees.

Many developments in the works. Another pilot has joined the club - canceling a USAir A320 flight in the process (though USAir hasn't divulged the real reason for the cancellation). Stay tuned on that and the other one at CAL - media contact the Rutherford Institute regarding them as well.

I've just launched FedUpFlyers.org. It's still very much a work in progress but will be the go-to place on the Internet for information, perspective, and assistance on this. Please send others there - especially if they might need help or guidance in resisting the authoritarian state and TSA's abuse.

Things are happening fast now. I'm having a hard time keeping up!
