I'm still trying to find out why this was a safety risk. All I can figure is that maybe they thought that if she was asking about the sobriety of the pilots, she was going to use the info to help plan an attack. Like, "Ok, they are drunk, so I can attack them."
This is - of course, utter bull crap. We all know the real reason she was kicked off - but I'd still love to hear them try to explain it. -ray > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 8:25 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Passenger taken off flight for drunk pilot joke > > > gessh that instiles me with alot of that safe feeling. > > Bill Wheatley > Senior Database Developer > Macromedia Certified Advanced Coldfusion Developer > EDIETS.COM > 954.360.9022 X159 > ICQ 417645 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Howie Hamlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 12:20 AM > Subject: Passenger taken off flight for drunk pilot joke > > > > SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- An air passenger who jokingly > questioned whether the plane's pilots were sober > > was removed from an Americas West flight on Monday, one > week after two of > the airline's pilots were arrested in Miami on > > charges of operating an aircraft while drunk. > > > > America West spokeswoman Patty Nowack said on Tuesday the > passenger was > removed from the Tucson-bound plane and later > > placed aboard another flight. > > > > "Safety is no joking matter.
