銃所持でフライトアテンダント逮捕～Delta Flight Attendant Arrested with Carry-on Gun～

デルタ航空のフライトアテンダントが、空港で機内に銃を持ち込もうとして逮捕されたんだって。

インディアナポリスからアトランタゆきのフライト勤務予定で、セキュリティーチェックを通るときにＸ線検査で見つかったらしい。

アタマがおかしいとしか思えないよね？

銃弾も詰められてたらしく、一体何をするつもりだったのか？

そのほかにも、あまり大きなニュースにはなってないけど、フライトアテンダント同士の取っ組み合いのケンカになって機長がフライトを中止したり、パイロットが間違えて滑走路じゃないところで離着陸ちゃったり、パイロットらが居眠りしてて目的地を通り越しちゃったり、乗客はいい迷惑。

乗客の命が、こんな人たちの手中にあるとはね。

乗客は、空港に早く到着して、靴を脱いでセキュリティーポイントを受けたり、ルールを守って、係員や検査官たちの横柄な態度をぐっとくらえて我慢してるっていうのに。

（ちょっとでも彼らの指示に従わなかったり、トラブルや落ち度があれば、搭乗拒否、とか、テロリスト嫌疑とか、酷い扱い受けちゃうからね）

そうかと思えば、2009年の1月にニューヨークのハドソン川に緊急着陸させて約150人もの乗客・乗員全員の命を救った、USエアウェイズのサレンバーガー機長のようなパイロットもいるし。

彼は、乗客・乗員全員を非難させた後も、全員が非難したかどうか確認するため機内を見回った後、自分が一番最後に機体から脱出したんだって。

本物のヒーローだよね。

Delta Flight Attendant Arrested with Carry-on Gun

A Delta flight attendant is being held in jail after trying to carry aloaded handgun through security at Indianapolis International Airport.What she intended to do with the gun was unclear.
According to a number of news reports, the gun was discovered when thewoman, Amber Robillard, 39, of Atlanta, walked through a securitycheckpoint. She had been scheduled to be a crew member on a Delta flightto Atlanta.
The woman was arrested and taken into custody, and the plane took offwithout her, according to The Associated Press.
An airport spokesman said she was being held at Marion County Jail inIndiana on charges of carrying a handgun without a permit and entering acontrolled area with a weapon, both misdemeanors.
According to The Indianapolis Star newspaper, the gun was asemi-automatic 9mm Glock, fully loaded with 10 bullets, and including aholster.The newspaper says the gun was discovered in an interior pocket ofRobillard's carry-on, when the bag was put through an x-ray machine atthe airport.

There are more incidents had happened in the past.

Northwest　Airlines (is now Delta) pilots who claimed they were busy on their personal laptops(i.e. asleep) and overflew Minneapolis/St. Paul, then the Delta pilots　who landed on a taxiway in Atlanta, followed by the KLM pilots who　earlier this month took off from a taxiway in Amsterdam.
Delta Connection flight attendants got into a fist fight on an aircraft that was taxiing back to the gate because a passenger had a panic attack.

The incident took place at the Greater Rochester (N.Y.)International Airport.

A spokesman for Pinnacle Airlines who was operating the flight for Deltasaid an argument between the two flight attendants was "little" but thecaptain grounded the flight "out of an abundance of caution".

There were75 passengers on Delta flight 887 on Wednesday morning, many of whomwere leaving for their much-needed winter escape from the cold and snow.
After returning to the gate the passengers were re-booked on laterflights.

Memphis-based Pinnacle has taken both of the flight attendantsoff of the flight line pending an internal investigation.

Pinnacle hasoperated for many years as a Northwest AirLInk carrier and became aDelta Connection carrier with the merger of the two airlines in Octoberof 2008.

On the contrary, Chesley Sullenberger, known as "Sully," the pilot of the US Airways plane that crashed into the Hudson River and saved 150 lives is a real pilot and hero!
