Who among us hasn't gotten to work and had to open up or something, only to realise the keys were in your other pants or something, a change in routine or distraction threw out your normal process and so you left it at home. I expect this to happen repeatedly actually. Won't be the first, won't be the last. But you'd hope it was rare.
Yeah, saying your time is worth, at most, 3.75 an hour is just short of spitting in your face. It's almost more insulting than no coupon at all, like a $0.01 tip.
Seriously?!?
"Who among us..."
Bullshit! An international airline pilot who forgets their passport isn't the same as you forgetting your Thermos.
Pilot should be relieved for gross stupidity.
What's next?
"Hey, did you forget to order the jetfuel?"
Airline pilots work in a field that is filled with things that could result in deaths if they forget to do it, coupled with strategies that make it very hard to forget to do those things- checklists and cross-person verification. If it doesn't occur to them to apply that same strategy to something like bringing their passport, I'm not sure if I'd trust them to do the other things either.
Huh, I always just assumed there was some sort of "emergency" procedure for flight staff, in a case like that. Them having to wait in the international area of the airport and getting some sort of temporary pass, or them being on a list, which exempts you from needing a pass as long as you don't leave the airport. Because what do they do, if they notice something later, when they're after the point, where they've got enough fuel for a return, or if they notice after landing?
Likewise, the international arrivals section of the airport before border control feels almost like a little pool of international waters, to the point that sales taxes work differently in there.
I assume if the pilot was scheduled to immediately fly back out they could have gotten away without the passport, but was actually due to stay at the destination for a day or two.
Agreed. My first thought is "well, sorry pilot but you just get to stay on the plane then and fly back immediately." Why turn the whole flight back? Something seems suspicious.
Pilots aren't allowed to fly more then x amt of hours in a certain time frame. So considering this was from USA to Shanghai iirc, they would have to at least stay a full day I think
The pilot could contact the American embassy in whatever country and get a new passport. Pilot just didn't want to waste xim or xer's own time waiting around for it for hours.
From what I've read, the plane was headed to Shanghai, and China doesn't accept temporary or emergency documents. Even if China did accept emergency passports, it definitely won't allow entry without a crew visa.
It was a calculated risk. The pilot would rather piss off passengers than risk getting detained in China.
Same. Or that they do the same thing they do for the passengers. They have to get their passports verified at the gate by a gate agent to make sure they're valid and signed.
I have watched that and yeah that plan seemed retarded, in fact it was actually in the background compared to the story and character development of the former child solder.
But props to the anime, they gave one of the best scene to show how terrifying US special forces are to go against..
I mean that's literally what i do, MSC, Royal Carib, Princess Cruiselines (same as RC) are solid picks that come with no niggers on board (unless you count the staff, they do seem to have a quota)
there is no limit on how many suitcases or how much do they weigh, and the port security is generally a breeze
only problem is that most cruiselines RAPE you on the drink-prices, so i highly recommend smuggling a small kettle and some tea sachets
while on Paper MSC doesn't allow you to bring food & drinks on board (esp alcoholic) last time i went with MSC the Nigguard didn't even care and let me through even though i had 2 bottles of liquor, a restaurant leftovers [salad and toast] and an opened ice tea
"Yo you want to hold them for me till the end of the cruise?"
"No man, you can go ahead"
thank you niggers for being too lazy to enforce jewish nonsense regulations, i guess diversity quotas are useful for something after all ;)
huh... i thought the owners were Swiss and only married to jews turns out they were jews to begin with
well that explains all the race-mixing ads which are present on the site, the ship's commercials and even the brochure (1/3 of the couples featured on the brochure are White male Black Female)
smartly enough for them, they only promote the race mixing angle from the male point of view, i.e black Nigra with White/Mediterranean man because they know who pays for the cruise...
You know what

The $15 coupon though? Fuck off.
Yeah, saying your time is worth, at most, 3.75 an hour is just short of spitting in your face. It's almost more insulting than no coupon at all, like a $0.01 tip.
speculation: the coupon is only good towards your next flight with United.
What? You weren't expecting a coupon for something actually useful were you?
And it probably cannot be combined with other promotions. So it's likely worth less than regular promos that everyone gets.
next level: the coupon has an expiration date
Most vouchers, gift cards, and coupons do have one
I find it helps to keep a checklist of things to do before a major trip, as well as prepping your day bag or luggage the night before.

Yeah, no, when people's lives are in your hands, forgetting basic tools of your trade is retarded.

I assumed the samething

Having recently renewed my passport and paid extra for "expedited" processing, the pilot will get his new passport in about four weeks.
But that's for a normal passport. Same-day issuing emergency passports at embassies is a real thing.
You've sent me down a rabbit hole.

Bets on diversityness of pilot?
Bet placed. Requiring passports to enter a country is racist
DeShawn or Sheniqua
I wouldn't be surprised is there's been an uptick in people going back to using ships to travel than risk commercial flights..
RESULT: only elites with private jets can fly while the filthy poors must remain tethered to the planet's surface
I’ve been suspicious that this is indeed the goal for all of the pushes for “green” aviation fuels and electric aircraft.
I'm just saying:
Has there been developments in weaponising EMP technology?
Not sure but there is an anime where the main villain's plot is to "cause world peace" by removing humanity's ability to fly.
https://jormungand.fandom.com/wiki/Jormungand
Yes, it's retarded, just like real life globalists plot to "save earth" by culling humanity.

So far the pilot is unnamed but some outlets are reporting that it's a "He" based on someone's X comment.
Transparency and accountability don't seem to be present with anything verifiable at the moment.
