Since 9/11, our industry has gone through a huge metamorphisis. Our procedures for dealing with possible security threats have changed, and in my opinion are for the better. A judge is set to award an AA pax damages close to the amount of $440,000.00. I don't know the complete details of this incident, however, listening to the reports, the cabin crew and cockpit crew acted in unison to stop a possible security threat. The "racial profiling" that supposedly took place according to the judge is a slap in the face of all airline employee's.
It is the job of all flight attendants to be aware of your surroundings and passenger concerns. If you or a passenger were to witness something out of the ordinary it is your responsibility to inform the captain to make a determination as to what to do next. This is the chain of command that hasn't changed in the 25 years, I have been a flight attendant. This is nothing new since 9/11.
In my opinion, this judge will now set an example to all passengers, that they can now take their case to a jury and posssibly become rich as well. The federal government needs to set guidelines... Black and White guidelines... stating exactly what could happen to you if you are removed, as a possible security threat.
Will C/O's be less likely to throw off a passenger now? Will the procedures in place change, because now the airline can be sued? Folk's, 9/11 happened... The total airline industry has changed. I hope this judgement will not change us.
