Treason? I can't believe treason is on the list. I recall speaking with a guy the other day that did some time for treason. Just kidding. If they did have regular, run of the mill, crimes on the list - there would be a very small pool to hire from. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of great people out there doing a hard job everyday. There are also alot of people with convictions for "grand theft auto" (and I don't mean the PS3 variety).

I think we all know this is ALLOWED to go on at most major airports. Even the TSA has been caught stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of personal items / equipment out of checked bags and it still goes on.

I guess we should be happy. Our lost baggage figures are going to be better now that these thugs are behind bars.

So, I guess that first year airline pilots should act 15 to 18 too? That's the first year First Officer pay at a regional airline, and you trust us with not only your bags, but your life

Actually, judging by the Oakleys, iPods, backpacks and overall hygene and style, that's pretty darn close...

And what about the folks who "work" at outfits where you pay to sit in the right seat? Should they act like fetuses?
