Guess I should have worded that in another way.
Was referring to all the so called pallets of very heavy cigarettes and ground personnel saying they were being shipped to Iran.
Thought we had sanctions against them, an if paid properly no one would question this . was it really cigarettes in those Marlboro boxes.
Cargo, dangerous goods type was found not listed on the Notac many times.
Airplane was loaded before the crew arrived, so to slip things through was easily done and done often.
Pallets butted up to each other you cant see whats in the middle , during the off load you see this.
You know how or what happens if you file too many safety reports.
I got a royal ass chewing for verbally reporting a big hole in the cargo floor by the C/P and accused of trying to ground the airplane.
Nothing in the log book about this and its a structural integrity thing.
He reply was I was a trouble maker and maint had told him it was ok, if someone wrote it up it would ground the airplane.
So instead they put a sign on the floor stating do not step here,
Wish I knew how to post pics, this one is really funny and shows just how stupid management and the powers in charge are there.
