TSA...Ahh, Drink It In-It Goes Down Smooth Everytime

[SouthTex]

So in terms of hurricane preparation, lets go over the list one more time.

1. Water...that's a given
2. Non-perishable food...gotta eat right?
3. Gas...Oh $hit, this town is running out!!!
4. Wife, kids, pets...will I really miss the wife?

Oh yeah, and my JOB since me and 100 of my buddies just won't go to work today at IAH nor tell anyone about it!!!

What a FUK!NG joke...and they make more than I do.

What in the blue blazes are you talking about?

Apparently a bunch of security guards in Houston decided not to show up for work today, which meant all the people who wanted to get away from Hurricane Rita couldn't get to their flights on time since they couldn't make it through security. At least that's what the gate agent in Austin told us.

??......Oh, you are talking about when perishable water gives you gas and the wife gets all like "ewww you are nasty" and throws you to the couch for the night and then you wake up with the pets laying on your face and the kids screaming for fruit loops right?......Oh and your job sucks.....and you live in Texas......and it blows.....because of the hurricane.

OK now I know what you are talking about!!

Flyer172r-

They should promote you to godd@mn captain because apparently you are the only one to get this. I guess with the current state of the industry everyone is a little "up tight." For the rest of my fellow aviators, read the AP, CNN, Fox or whoever and look up what a fine group of responsible individuals work for the TSA in the greater Houston area. $hit, I don't even live there.

Late,

Ya, so apparently only 89 of the 900 or so TSA people decided to get an early start leaving town and not tell anyone about it. Made for a smooth operation all the way around. Most outgoing flight were delayed just to accomodate the people who couldn't get through security. The line was insane. Gate agents, rampers, pilots, were all short staffed making for a pretty chaotic day to say the least. Hope everyone was able to get out. And for those stuck at outstations for a few days I hope you have a good one. Or at least a cool crew.

and u won't see that on the news will u...what a bunch of BS..the public needs to know about this.

 

[SouthTex]

Mei and Super are now promoted to the upgrade list as well.

 

[Meiguy]

Don't know about national media but saw the local news in the crew room today talking about the TSA noshow contributing to the problems of the day. Either way it's BS and shows what quality personel we have scanning potential terrorists from our airplanes.

Geez, don't kill the messenger. I was just relaying what I had heard.
