Pax don't have anything else better to do unfortunately....

O'Hare tarmac photos land flight attendant in stew | abc7chicago.com

Maybe that's why you're holding a little while longer at the 32R pad.

I'm surprised at the fa's age. At 41, I would think she had matured and had previously learned of consequences for doing questionable things in public. Either she didn't get caught until now or doesn't care.
With that in her history she can forget about applying at any safety regulated job that is in the public's eye. I wonder if she is the same girl that got caught using the photo copying maching to scan a picture of her butt? Facebook wasn't around back in those days to share the picture.

Really guys? I have no idea whether she was in the ramp "illegally" but pretty much every FA I know, even ones at almighty DELTA have pretty much the exact same picture.

I really hope she doesn't get fired.

Exactly. Pilots too. I don't see what's wrong with it. I suppose where she could be screwed is being out there un-escorted but then the question is how she got out there in the first place and how she got back up. It was either a ramper or a pilot, someone had to take the pics.

But in the end, who cares? No harm, no foul.

And if it was this, would they still have called the news?






I won't post it but if you search "flight attendant engine" in google images, you'll see engine photos with FAs for jetBlue, Delta, and several foreign airlines. Again, who cares?

A flight attendant doing something that's been done for years, posing no safety issue whatsoever?

Someone get that clown David Yanofsky on the horn. Maybe he can do another shocking exposé.

I could see a pilot getting called into the CP office.

"Wait, before you start, in my defense, it DID say 'Remove before flight"

I don't know of anywhere in the manual that says "flight attendants cannot be on the ramp", or "pictures of the aircraft are not to be taken". If passengers are on a maintenance delay or something, of course it looks bad if you are seen doing a photo shoot, but who cares otherwise! This is one of the most ridiculous news stories I've ever seen! If the flight was out on time, the front and back end crews do their required checks, and all escort procedures are followed, then there should be no issue. It upsets me that the spirit representative threw her under the bus. At least we made the news again. Free advertising!
