I bet she just waved her phone at each security station. Instead of having her stand aside until she was able to show an easily faked PhotoShop the highly trained agents of the TSA let her pass. I wonder if they asked her if she wanted fries with her order as they have been trained at their last job. Same issue at the gate.

What a buzzkill. This is not the way to get high. I hope he gets 6 months in a corrections facility and is fined $172K like the Korean national on the Hawaiian Airlines flight to Seoul in July.

I was thinking that too and I am having a great life.

My avatar is a photo of a U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet that I took just 10 feet from the crash site a few months ago. As a Blue and Gold Information Officer for the U.S. Naval Academy with two kids serving in the Navy, my heart goes out to the pilot and his family. I wish them God's blessings, fair winds and a following sea.

Smart move by SW. I totally understand the poor financial results as I refuse to use Newark.

Report says 28 September 2018.

Its software that controls the forces required to adjust the trim. Its Boeing that controls the software used in their planes. Why do they blame pilot strength? My wife's car has lane departure warning and assist activated if the turn signals are not on. The force is about the same as a one inch berm over the lane markers and a steering wheel shaker buzzes. What would anyone say if the software required the strength of a strong person to overcome the software induced correction? Would anyone in their right mind point a finger at the driver? Why is it OK to blame pilot strength for Boeing's programming?

Do you think he was buzzing his girl friend's house when he dipped down to 300 feet. Notice that that was right before he did his turns to calibrate his GPS. He must be under 40 and not married because he was able to do it twice.

The pilot had his ticket suspended for 120 days and then another 30 under a different name. Does anyone know why I cannot see his flight out of Fullerton? My Flight feeder can see planes in the pattern there and I can see his inbound flight. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-yorba-linda-plane-pilot-20190208-story.html?fbclid=IwAR1QF6CeTXCWbA6X5SICRz8jlBTeaGWfe2mTVHbQk14r40gEYZF9qnepgL0
