Here in London, Ontario one of our local refuelers/snow removal drivers has been suspended without pay for 2 weeks, fined $250 Canadian and forced to resit all his airport job specific examinations.
What for?
Not wearing his airport ID card. He had gone out to remove some snow and left it on his jacket in the office. The security guard who made the 'bust' knew him well and they actually stopped to chat and shoot the s**t. The next thing the refueler finds is a letter from the security company with the above conditions. It seems someone decided to make an example of him.
If this is the way its going in the wake of S11 then god help us all because a company uniform and pilots licence are not going to stop you from being arrested. All this pedantic draconian bulls**t is being directed in completely the wrong direction. As usual all the regular joes are suffering while those who want to cause harm are sitting back and working new ways around these problems. <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
