AA136 DIVERSION TO jfk
AA136 flight to London has been diverted to JFK after a FA reported "a suspicious person" seated in the last row of the Business class Cabin. The FA reported that the "person of middle eastern descent" was seen aboard an employee bus without ID ?
The Captain announced that they were diverting to get more fuel.
It looks now that the person may be an AA employee traveling to the UK.
There should be some way to insure that we do not divert planes just because "someone looks suspicious", if that person is an employee, there is a list of passengers on board an the crew should be able to assert that the person is in fact an employee. Looks like the terrorists are disturbing our system quite often. It will cost AA a lot of $$ for that diversion not counting the inconvenience to the passengers !!
