Danke, do something

Federal authorities are suing United Airlines, claiming to company failed to stop one of its pilots from posting explicit photos of a flight attendant online and subjecting her to "a hostile work environment of sexual harassment over a multi-year period."
According to the lawsuit, filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), pilot Mark Joseph Uhlenbrock frequently posted sexually explicit images of the unnamed attendant on different sites. The pilot allegedly referenced the attendant's name, home airport, and airline's slogan "Fly the Friendly Skies" in some of those posts.
The lawsuit also alleges that other United employees saw the posts, which adversely affected the attendant's work environment.
In 2016, Uhlenbrock pled guilty to internet stalking and was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. According to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in the Western District of Texas, Uhlenbrock — who had previously been in a relationship with the flight attendant — admitted "he caused substantial emotional distress to his female victim by posting nude photographs of her on the internet."

A mechanic at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport reportedly hijacked a Horizon Air Q400 with no passengers on board, performed aerobatic maneuvers, and then crashed into the ground a short while later as at least one, possibly two F-15 fighter jets in hot pursuit, according to an unconfirmed report by Fox News.

The FAA issued the following message in response to the incident:
"We can't confirm anything at this time. We're trying to get accurate information about what is actually going on. Without confirming anything, a stolen aircraft would be a security issue," adding "The FAA is not a security agency, although we work closely with other government agencies on security issues."
A plume of smoke was reported near Ketron Island, Washington, after authorities received reports that a plane was stolen from Seattle Airport Friday night, according to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
Petty Officer Ali Flockerzi said one of the USCG's 45-foot rescue boats was headed to the scene.
The island is between Tacoma and Olympia, she said. -NBC News
The airport's tower identified the suspect as "Rich," and flights from SeaTac were reportedly halted according to passenger posts on social media.
Okay this insane. A pilot on the plane in front of us just went rogue and took off on an empty plane bypassing orders from the tower. The tower ordered a full stop and they’re trying to communicate with that pilot. Whaaaaaat!

A mother from Kent, England, and her young daughter were jailed in Dubai for three days – where she was allegedly denied water and forced to clean toilets – after she admitted to drinking a glass of wine on the incoming Emirates flight from London.
It’s illegal to drink alcohol or be intoxicated in public in Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates.
Ellie Holman, a 44-year-old dentist originally from Sweden who resides in Britain with her husband and their three children, was arrested on July 13 after landing in Dubai with her 4-year-old daughter, the Press Association reported.
Upon arrival in Dubai, an official reportedly told Holman she needed to return to the United Kingdom immediately because of an invalid visa, at which point she took out her phone and started filming the encounter, according to human rights group Detained in Dubai.
Holman said the official was “dismissive and rude” to her, and asked if she had been consuming alcohol. She admitted to the official that she had a complementary glass of wine on the Emirates flight.
Holman, unaware that it was an offense to film the encounter, and illegal to drink alcohol, was taken into custody, Detained in Dubai reported. The mother and her daughter also had their passports and electronic devices confiscated.


Holman said in a statement to Detained in Dubai that the prison guards also attempted to pull out her hair extensions, and the prison facility was “hot and foul-smelling.” She claimed she and her daughter were forced to sleep on a “filthy mattress” and to clean toilets.
“My little girl had to go to the toilet on the cell floor. I have never heard her cry in the same way as she did in that cell,” Holman said in a statement.

Holman added that she was given food that “smelled like rotting garbage.” She said her husband and friends tried to visit her in jail, but they were not allowed to see her.


Holman was released on bail days later, but could face “being detained in Dubai for up to a year while awaiting a court hearing,” The Guardian reported. Her passport was confiscated until the case is finished, and she claims to have already lost thousands of dollars in missed wages and legal costs.
Her daughter returned to the United Kingdom with her husband.

Virgin Atlantic passengers fainted on a sweltering plane that was ultimately cancelled - before their replacement flight was diverted to the wrong country in a string of nightmare delays.
Travelers, including families returning to London from Disney World in Florida, were left in the lurch when their transatlantic flight to Gatwick was cancelled over the busted air-conditioning two days ago.
But Friday's replacement flight ended in chaos when the aircraft - which should have landed in London at 8: 10am - was diverted to Shannon in Ireland after reports of smoke in the cabin.
Just one of the desperately tired passengers, Tony Redfearn, told The Sun Online how those on the plane were now desperate to get home as the trip to London extended to at least 30 hours.
Describing the first, ultimately cancelled, flight, Tony said, "We sat on the tarmac for two hours before they cancelled the flight. They told us there was no air-conditioning on the flight and we had to get off. Paramedics had to enter the plane and remove passengers who had fainted due to the heat with the broken air-conditioning."
The flight was full of hundreds of passengers, including many families who had visited Disney World Orlando, Tony said.
And today's flight is the final straw for many, who are still waiting in Ireland for the plane to take them on the final leg of their journey.
Describing today's flight, Tony said, "Nobody really knows what happened, it was all happening in the cockpit.”
"The pilots were really professional, they didn't say anything to panic us but you could tell they were worried,” he added. "They were quite calm about it."

Tony, an entrepreneur who had travelled to the US for a 10 day holiday, added travelers were "resigned" to the long haul journey home.
He said, "I live in Cornwall so I've got a four hour drive out of Gatwick after this."
Tony claimed two pilots and a crew member had to be checked for smoke inhalation after it landed this morning.
Another passenger said they could smell smoke, added, "Everyone just wanted to know what was going on but the flight crew were brilliant. They went out of their way to make sure that everyone was OK."
Fellow passenger Paul Albrecht, who lives in Florida, said, "The first thing that alerted me to something happening was the flight staff were sent to their post, they were all stood around and you know something's not right.
"Nothing was said probably for an hour and a half then they informed us there had been smoke in the cabin," he said.
He said the pilot told passengers he had made a mayday call during the flight, adding, "It was obviously extremely serious."
Paul, 59, said his two week holiday to England had now been delayed.
The Airbus A330-300 jet was about an hour west of Ireland when the crew declared a mayday and requested permission to divert to Shannon.
The VS1050 aircraft was met by emergency vehicles as it arrived.

Trans woman says airline 'outed me in front of the whole airplane'

A passenger has accused WestJet of outing her as a trans woman. (Photo: Ziggy1/Getty Images)The Canadian budget airline WestJet has issued an apology after a passenger on a recent flight went public about being outed as a trans woman by an employee.
CBC News reports that Lenore Herrem was traveling from Calgary to Saskatoon last Wednesday when a WestJet gate agent questioned her government-issued ID, which labels her as male. Herrem also presents as male in the photo featured on her 5-year-old health care card.




“She got upset and said, ‘They don’t match,’ but her colleague said, ‘Yes, they do, it’s fine, go ahead,'” Herrem told the news agency, describing her exchange with the gate agent.
“So I gently and discreetly expressed to her, ‘It’s because I’m transgender. That’s why they don’t match up. But my face is the same and my ID matches the name on my boarding pass.'”
Herrem, who said she hasn’t had issues with her ID before, was allowed to board the plane. About 10 minutes later, both agents approached her and again asked to see her ID.
“She said something like, ‘Oh, that’s not the name I remember seeing on the computer when I looked at it,’ and she started spouting off different, other women’s names that were not mine,” Herrem said.
“She rolled her eyes at me and said, ‘Are you sure it wasn’t your girl name that was on the computer?’ … She outed me in front of the whole airplane.”
The incident left Herrem feeling “unsafe, vulnerable, belittled” in front of her fellow passengers.
“I was in shock,” she said. “It was quite traumatizing … especially the way she did it so loudly and in front of everyone; it was really unprofessional.”
WestJet has since addressed the issue in a statement to CBC. It has offered Herrem a credit for the flight and has vowed to investigate the matter.
“WestJet’s inclusive culture is a point of pride for WestJetters and our goal has always been to create a safe and inclusive environment for all,” the company said.
“We have extended our apologies to the guest and are reviewing the matter as we are continuously assessing and evolving our practices and policies to maximize inclusiveness and celebrate diversity.”
Herrem has accepted the apology.
“I was pleased with the way [the representative] did deal with it,” she said. “She expressed that they will be implementing training to staff to deal with these sorts of situations better in the future, which was the most important thing for me to hear.”
