    Guess! I won't be flying Jetblue anytime soon. Good grief, has the corporate world gone nuts or what the hell is going on with these companies. They won't hire unvaccinated pilots, BUT! they'll hire a guy who entered the home of a judge, beat the judge’s daughter, who was his former fiancée, with a metal baton as she left the shower. Police said that when he was arrested, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and his vehicle contained knives, handcuffs, parachute cord, a shovel, and a mask, according to the AP. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this guy flying at the helm of a commercial jet with 100's of lives relying on him.

    Stay away from off brand carriers. And Delta.

    anyway, this looks like an HR nightmare.

    Delta? You don't like passing through Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta? Are you saying that you dislike long walks with scant time between connections? You don't like lost luggage, or late departures/arrivals? Good grief! What's the world coming to?

    :lol:

    Refusing to hire the unvaxxed, the authoritarians of the left are truly astounding. But yea a felon is ok lol.

    So your theory here is that companies can violate the law in whatever fashion they want to as long as they enforce the hells cape policy you support? You have heard of the ADA, right?

    I certainly don't condone hiring felons to fly planes, or beating ex's as the get out of the shower, or JetBlue's general woke-stupidity, but ... my vehicle contains all those things (except the handcuffs), and I'm not even stalking anyone. I'm usually just using it to commute to work or run kids to school, but it's got duct tape, flashlights, VHF/UHF radio, trauma kit, and a whole bunch of other stuff too that, as I sit here and think about it, would make an interesting paragraph in a news story if I ever do something stupid enough to get my vehicle searched and a news report done up about it.

    I would call this not proper vetting. But remember, many independent truck drivers are convicted felons too. Something to think about

    Not sure about your worries. What could possibly go wrong?

    Sorry, but I've never had any fun in that airport. Missing a flight ain't no fun!
