Funny, you are the one that made the allegations...classic twisting by you ...
Not quite! I did try to verify it and publicize it IF it were true which it appears not to be based upon the information I have.
Think about it logically for a second.
1. It was an international flight which means mostly senior people, many of whom are active in AFA. With a negotiation going on and the President of the airline was acting as alleged do you really think everyone would be quiet? Good God there would have been cell phone pictures in my inbox or on here within hours.
2. According to my sources the flight was removed from Cat Crew, something I was unable to verify. In journalism you need two sources, I had one, thus my appeal here for others to come forward.
3. There was a picture of the allegation from a CLT crew or bag room. Glorified graffiti if you can't get and further evidence.
4. We know that the flight was met by corporate security. We know different procedures were followed than the usual. However nobody was taken into custody and according to sources Kirby DID NOT appear to be intoxicated.
5. Doug Parker's explanation during a Crew News session. I was able to verify Parker's version of the event/incident as pretty accurate through a source in AFA.
So in the end there was no meat on the bones. Nothing to accuse Scott Kirby of because NOTHING of consequence actually happened. I've admitted this on several occasions. Would I have liked to nail his balls to the wall? In a New York minute! To me he is the poster boy for all that is wrong with American Business.
However, I want him fair and square on something he can't wiggle out of. This was NOT such an event. He didn't really do anything and if you think he did you're thick as a brick.
Fast forward to last night. apollo, who seems to be several people who have been on here prior continues to make this unfounded allegation. This is not good for anyone. He's wrong and when confronted he made the attacks personal and to this very second he has yet to provide one shred of evidence to the contrary that supports his position. I intend to call him on it
