Angry pilot drops his pants - asks checkpoint staff to "search this" {Gadling}
Feb 20th 2009 10:43AM Hey, I think that security worldwide has reached a crew's boiling point. Here in Miami airport, TSA I think is one of the worst things that couldve happened. Crews complain how long it takes for them to get thru security, they have to get shoes off, belts , hats. I mean come on, its crew members, they are not going to do something wrong and like someone said, crews dont need weapons if they want to do something.
I have personally witnessed crews being delayed on concouse E, because TSA doesnt have a line specifically for crews.
Kudos to the LX pilot!
Galley Gossip: Just a few things a flight attendant doesn't want to hear {Gadling}
Feb 15th 2009 2:12PM Hi , I usually read Kent's blog, but gave yours a try. Im actually an intern for a an airline out of MIA and travel a lot now. I admire your hard/fun work and I am sympathetic on some of the things you wrote about, like people asking about WHAT TIME DO WE GET THERE? How can people not know? Its on their boarding tickets and its probably going to be said on the PA announcement.
My 2cents right there.
Plane Answers: Do challenging airports require special training for pilots? {Gadling}
Jun 6th 2008 5:07PM Hi Kent, Enrique here,,,
Im so sad by the accident of the Taca 320 that happened. The airport is closed for Boeing,Airbus and McDonnel Douglas planes that used to fly, until further notice , most likely forever. I have been trying to contact fellow AA pilot S. Stache who grew up in TGU and certainly is well known at the airport, he must know a little bit more info regarding the accident.
As of right know the rumors are the plane landed half-way down the runway, which was wet. So you can kind of guess more likely what the official conclusion is gonna be. Witnesses also confirm that.
Too bad they are closing the airport , Ill never get to fly as a pilot there, and everyone will need to travel 180 kilometers NW to get an international flight...
I will miss flying into TGU cause it was so much fun,,, at least for me...
