There goes Ramp Acccess, Comair employee arrested for smuggling MCO

When pilots are suspended while an ongoing investigation is happening, are they paid?
Why is this guy on paid suspension when we're in the middle of budget cuts?

You have to tip your hat to the scale of the violation though. Most people would have tried for the drugs or the guns. 8lbs of pot...now thats awesome.

im no expert.. but i thought drugs usually traveled the other direction.. isnt that like bringing sand to the beach =)

No, there will be no repercussions for rampers and other employees. Pilots however will now be subject to full body cavity searches.

I love how they say that in no time were passengers in any danger. The guy only had an automatic weapon on board.

Not to take anything away from the seriousness of this issue, but the media thinks everything is an automatic weapon, remember the Clinton "assault weapon" ban?. If it looks like a real assault weapon than it must be one. I would be willing to bet it was just a regular AR15 or less. Either way I dont want unknowns bringing an AR 15 on my plane.
