Double post

This thread is just getting to funny :1orglaugh

OK.. Another story! Not related to the current paranoia over security, but example of total retardness in action.

I have the odd claim to fame of having been evicted from an aircraft operated by American Airlines - who else?

Story starts on a flight to the Caribbean. The aircraft was an hour late in departing as usual - this time they could not allocate an air crew. Eventually part of the crew arrive then an obviously flustered lady pretending to act as the cabin crew supervisor. We get on board the aircraft and get seated - no problems.

One of AA flight crew in transit elsewhere tries to take a seat in the row in front - then stops and looks towards the rear of the aircraft and addresses the "flustered lady" and says, "I'd appreciate if you would kindly move your baggage off the passenger seats before passengers board the aircraft". That may be bad move one. She comes rumbling along moaning about moving her baggage to allow this guy to take a seat. But..... tolerance is a good thing.

Next is the routine check all baggage is secured and under seats and get your seat belt on. Another cabin crew, (his name turned out to be David, despite that, he was an OK guy), member goes along checking and leans over the to passenger with me and asked her to stuff some junk she had under the seat - no problem, done.

Then all hell seemed to break out, David looks at the rear of the aircraft and is obviously puzzled. At this time we are on the runway ready to take off. I turn round to see what David is looking at. Shit - it's this neurotic bitch stapped into her seat at the rear with her arm outstretched and waving her finger at me (duh??) and her hair flying in all directions. I ask David what the problem is with the flight crew supervisor?? He's not too sure by this time :winkwink:

Next the pilot announces we have a slight problem and need to return to the ramp. The silly bitch has obviously told the flight crew she has a problem. Anyways, while the aircraft is going back to ramp, we chat with David and find out the cabin supervisor thinks we are the source of her problems and get his AA number and ask him to provide the ID for the cabin crew supervisor, which he did.

We all depart from the aircraft and the first time any of us spoke to the supervisor was on the way out was to say that her conduct was disgusting and she was clearly unfit to be in a postion of guiding passengers in the event of any emergency.

Anyways... we left the aircraft and airport security and law enforcement were fine. The flight took off and we chatted with the law and an AA representative who was apologetic and confirmed they would book us on the next flight out and suggested a complaint be made to the airline hub at Forth Worth.

A few days later the first letter of complaint was sent to American Airlines - then another, then another ad nausea. Eventually a reply arrives with an apology, but avoidance of any admission of error on their part, and with reference to us taking a flight to Johannesburg (DUH??). I've never had the pleasure of visiting Johannesburg and the last thing that would be considered is using American Airlines :1orglaugh

There is definately two planets on this earth - and some folks live on the other one.



PS... Then there was the American Airlines aircraft that thought it could fly with a broken windscreen in the flight deck - that had to be grounded by staff at another airport - but hell - that's another story :winkwink:

LOL... TOTALLY!!!! I hate sleeping in beds, sitting on carpet... all of that shit.

Plantar warts can be picked up with your bare feet. Trust me on this one, I have had them and learned where they can come from.

"As plantar warts is a virus, plantar warts are contagious, commonly spread in public swimming pools or communal showers. To help stop transmission of plantar warts, avoid going barefoot in public places like showers, gyms, locker rooms and around swimming pools."

Or barefoot on the ground where 10,000+ people a day are also walking barefoot in the airport.

:winkwink:

Well you are in fact being an asshole. An asshole who has to clue what he is talking about and saying shit that is 100% false about me.

FIND ONE POST OR SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE EVER FUCKED A TRANSSEXUAL OR BETTER YET... FUCKED ONE BAREBACK... AND I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY 2006 REVENUE FROM ALL MY WORLDWIDE DVD & WEB SALES.

(and that is a substantial amount of $$$)

But you will not find this proof because it does not exist. :pimp

Get your facts straight before you post some shit like that.

:mad:

:winkwink: :1orglaugh i win

:1orglaugh

Fuck... what's your paypal?

You are a pussy. LOL won;t walk on the floor because of infections and athlete's foot. I have never heard of someone being such a fucking faggot in my life. I had respect for you until I read this pussy post.

Those guys can't think themselves....When there was less security, they had 'normal' people...Now they use everyone they can find from the streets for security in the USA...

That's kind of funny,

I was always treated like a terrorist when I flew, probably simply cause I look like one. I always had to take my shoes off, even before they started taking everyone's shoes off a few weeks ago. That might be because I wear a long beard and army boots all the time..

When I went to the USA with two friends first time two months ago, a security guy checked our passports and then started asking questions like: "How long do you know each other? From where do you know each other? Who packed your bags? Where did you pack your bags? Did you get any presents from friends or relatives to take with you? What are you going to do in the USA?" and so on..

And it pisses me off that I always forget to put my lighter into my checked baggage..

I think real terrorist just look unsuspicious and are just let in.

:1orglaugh

Yup, that's me... P-U-S-S-Y

Damn. Where you from?

Germany. They started doing all that extra security stuff here after 9/11 ... But when you fly to the USA everything is even double-checked.. there is the normal security check conducted by airport personal, and then another conducted by some US security guys.. so you have to x-ray your bag twice and put off your shoes twice :Oh crap

Funny story.Well atleast you made on your flight

Traveling into or around America is seldom enjoyable.

not a good story, i had a similar incident in the UK

pff, what nonsense re the bacteria and viruses, your mouth is dirtier than the floor

Treated like a terrorist? I don't thinks so. You were treated like a law abiding citizen. Every Terrorist that has ever boarded a plane for terror has gotten on without being hassled with box cutters, and shoe bombs. :)

I do the same ... I wear my Reef black sandals everytime I fly. Some try and make me take them off and I just look at them and show my feet with a look of "are you kidding me?" Usually I get through ... it sucks when I'm flying for work or going to Vegas and I look decent and decide to wear heels or something. I'm with you on the floor being nasty, they actually have these booty things now I think. Either way, gross. I always walk on the sides of my feet when I do have to take my shoes off.

You're experiencing first hand how your country is slowly turning into a police state. "Do what you're fucking told!" :Oh crap

Don't you find it stange that EVERYONE is being treated like a suspected terrorist, even though it's ONLY the muslim extremists that have caused the terrorism over the past 5 years.

Think about that for a moment :disgust

It's pretty scary if you think about it :Oh crap

My friends Bahzed and Ramin never get hassled at the airport. Of course, they're Iranian men in their mid-thirties so to single them out for inspection would be racist profiling.

that is an awfull story about dump security.
