Lynching mob
According to some authoritative foreign press reports this was a lynching attempt. That is the headlines, with shocking pictures of airline executives, with their clothes in shreds, climbing fences and running for their lives. What could the public perception be of the aviation community as a whole. I am afraid not only does it bring the profession into disrepute but also puts an ugly stain on all the uniforms of all air crews seen in the halls of every airport terminal in the world. The best thing BALPA and other similar organisations can do is make a public statement announcing that they will never condone such behaviour by any of their members.
