AF security strikes again
First they walk off 309 people out of a burning wreck. The day after they catch a guy posing as an AF pilot at CDG. Uniformed and all. They spotted the fake ID and cought him and his mate (a former airport employee) outside the airport after a short chase out the terminal.
Turns out the guys suffers from some dilerium, actually thinking he is an AF pilot.
So considering the security and safety seems o be working, maybe AF is worth a shot.
Then there are the repeated bombthreats, the ceiling falling down and the planes to US being turned around due to strange passengers.....
Did I miss anything?

I don't understand the point, other than to have yet another thread complaining about AF or FB.Air France certainly can't be blamed in nutjobs are calling in bomb threats. As for the ceiling, sounds like that should be taken up with ADP and not Air France. As far as the third one, sounds like back coordination between Air France and the US authorities. Since you have to give your passport before you ticket, you'd think they'd scan it pre-flight.

- Terrorists
- ADP
- The US Government has struck at KL/BA/AF - funnily enough I've never heard of a NW/CO/DL plane being sent back

Thats some delirium indeed : I would have thought that Alitalia might be more appropriate given the way AZ pilots and stff are treated.

But how come it's mostly BA and AF suffering bombthreats and turnarounds? I can't remember KLM having any of that happen since 9/11. And interesting how the other airlines have managed to stay away from it too.....
Oh, the conspiracy theories......

The US really need to get their act together. So do airlines. There has to be a cut off point for bookings so all names can be cross checked BEFORE boarding and loading luggage. Sure, that very last minute ticket won't be sold but in the long run I think it will be more cost effective for airlines as dumping all that fuel before they can land is costing a bleeping fortune! Not to mention the extra damage on the environment, cost of landing, delays, and people on board losing out on business because of delays.

Facts here.
(BTW, it happened a bit more than a month ago, though.)
