Hooking Fell,
The question is not whether the supposed list was proper. The questions are: Where did the list come from? What authority issued it? At what time was it issued? On what date?
What governments did or did not contribute to the construction of the list? Did some governments withhold their aircraft from the list? How about cariers? Were international aviation authorities involved? Was the list in error? Was it later modified?
Has it been announced? I mean other than here on PPrune or in some other similar forum. Sounds like something the travelling public would want to know at the least. Probably even a lead story on ALL of the international news services.
Or,was the source of the list some insensitive, **** -stirring, muckraking mind?
Guv, you may have been fibbed to...
But to the topic of the thread. Since US carriers couldn't carry pax DOMESTICALLY until about 1200 Central US time today (15 Sept) I don't understand the problem. Were we told differently? Yes, many times over the last 3 days. Did the same sort of thing happen in many other countries? Yes. It's been a tough time for us and we are dealing with it as best we can. Lose thousands of your citizens in an unprecedented terrorist act and then come tell us how to do it.
