You guys should quit with the monday morning quarterbacking. If there is a potential threat, no matter how sure you may or may not be, get on the ground and figure it out. If people wanna question the captain on this then they've never been in his situation...why blow it off and hope it's just some @sshole with a big mouth? 200+ people and a $90 million airplane are a big gamble and I think he was absolutely right to do an about face.
 
One more thing, and this is turning into a heck of a problem:

People need to learn to show some respect for authority. The media has programmed them all to argue with crews about everything, and have them completely convinced that it's all some huge conspiracy. I'll bet the FAs would love it if they didn't have to spend all day policing carry ons, but that's their job. On that note, people should be careful what they wish for. If they didn't gate check carry ons that ridiculous pax weight of 189 we use would be out the door and the CRJ200 would turn into a 30 seat plane. Back to the guy on Hawaiin....he probably thought his bullsh!t was cute until the guys in suits showed up. I hope he can be an object lesson to all the other mouth breathers out there that wanna get cute.
 
Good thing it was back in the 70's when I was a kid taking one of my first flights and I asked my Mom as we boarded, "When are we going to crash?!" Imagine the crap that would cause these days!

Blame it on the rash of airplane movies in the mid to late 70's.
 
Very simple stuff once again! Lets target everyone.....and really target the ones that are not a threat!!

Limuss test for cabin crew.....

was he a Muslim check

turn the DAMN plane around. If not let's add some common sense to the situation....and talk to the pax run his name etc etc.....

Remember all muslims are not terrorists but ALL terrorists since 9/11 have been MUSLIM PC gonna kill more people.........but lets empty airports and turn plane around and escort planes that have drunk AMERICANS onboard but lets give terrorists AMERICANS rights and Priviliages!! idiots running the show!
FLAME SUIT READY!!!!!!come on LIBS!!!!!!


I believe you're barking up the wrong tree, but I will entertain you. So, how will you identify the passengers that are Muslim? Should there be a requirement to identify one's religion when purchasing a ticket?
 
To the pax:

You just can't be a loopy ****************************** on an airplane anymore folks. Bring your A-game to the airport. Take your meds if you are prescribed them. Have some manners too. Don't write dubious weird notes and pass them to the crew in an effort to get some of that attention that mommy never gave you. Grow up. We can't have 56 yo men acting like the class-arse.

doosh is a bad word?:erm:

Just hand them a comment card to fill out cuz everybody knows a terrorist will fill one out with obscure references to Gilligans Island and then sign their name to it (while doing absolutely nothing in their seat btw) before they take down the plane.
 
Actually, I would say the better use of the lemmings analogy would be someone reading one news article and think they know enough to judge the crews actions.
I guess my explanation of the additional considerations involved with over water flying went over your head but you should understand that a willingness to make a hard decision by a Captain is a very good trait in this business. I really don't understand why some people feel the need to criticize others so quickly rather than listen with an open mind. But thinking you have the whole story by reading one news article is foolish.
Hey Dan

BOO!!!!

Did I scare ya?
