TSA is not Customs… In Global Entry, you authorized Customs to use your face as an identifier by joining the program (and paying a fee), TSA is not asking, nor telling you that you can opt out, critical differences in the programs.

Disregarding Smith’s uninformed opinions, he must have identified himself on his feed as a United pilot. THAT is the infraction from the company’s point of view. When you do that you become a spokesperson and therefore without the consent of the company for your posts expose yourself to disciplinary actions, it’s all spelled out in basic indoc the first couple of days of employment.

Also Ms Smith, have you asked yourself how is it that it is known he was a United pilot? The company expressly reserves the right to censorship of any posts made on social media that can be connected with it and all employees as a condition of employment accept this censorship. Put another way, if in a post or on a particular social media account you can be connected to the company, you are agreeing that what you are posting is acceptable to the company because you are in fact a representative of the company. One can’t drink in uniform for similar reasons and we all know it.

I don’t know what Netherlands you see buddy, not the one I do that has for example a medical system that has affordable access for all its citizens and visitors and one of the lowest crime rates in the world which is by the way 10% of the US rate so get your facts straight before you go flapping your pie hole and advertising how ignorant you are.

Frank Lorenzo maneuvered Borman out of Eastern and it was Lorenzo who oversaw the strike in ‘85. I still have the VHS tape of Lorenzo’s contract proposal for ALPA to fly through the machinist’s strike. It was total BS. To this day I wonder why he (Lorenzo) didn’t lie through his teeth to get us to break Bryant and the machinist’s (who were clearly out of control), it seemed an easy gig. Had EAL survived, I’d have retired at a seniority number less than 50! Oh well, United treated me very well so I have nothing to complain about and I won’t.

Procedures are done by the manual published by the manufacturer, in this case P&W

According to the article and what I’ve heard elsewhere, the issue was the inspection interval and procedure which is dictated by P&W. Specifically, the procedure requires inspections and testing of the blades but until the procedure was changed it was impossible to compare previous inspections side by side. What I had heard was these cracks are very difficult to detect, but if the side by side comparison had been available would have let the evaluator conclude there was in fact a crack and it was getting worse.
