Actually I was replying to an earlier post that I had quoted suggesting that this guy could have harmed himself or the aircraft while climbing on the various probes. For some reason the earlier post and my quote of it were removed without comment. :confused:

Like the bulk of those engaged in this spurious exercise, he concerns himself with the consequences of human action, not the principal causal factor which is world overpopulation. |
Get airborne and see how strong that glue is. |
Would he have come off at bug speed?
|
I am very curious about something. Regardless of whether he bought a ticket or not, but how the hell does anyone (visually, physically impaired or fully able bodied) get onto the top of a plane? A maintenance scaffold I can understand, even a crane. But to walk up to the door of an airliner either on a gantry or air bridge or steps .., how DO you get from there to the top of the fuselage without either some serious assistance, gymnastics or other equipment? |

Why do so many people persist in believing the myth that all these protesters are unemployed or unemployable? Just because you or I wouldn't give up a day or two for it doesn't meant that there aren't plenty of people out there who would.

Ive seen them do this on the trains in India to avoid buying a ticket, but i dont think it works for planes ;)

Should have de-iced it Hot mix 75/25.

Someone should follow this guy around until he takes his next TUI flight to Malaga for his hols....... |
Just follow him until he gets into his car, makes a phone call, turns the lights on in his house... you get the idea ... |
They should have just gone ahead with the flight with him glued to the plane. These people are challenged. If they feel so strongly about the subject, why don't they go plant trees in the Sahara desert, or go protest in China, or tell dicaprio and associates (who pay lip service to "climate change") to stop using their private jets, yachts and other CO2 toys?

Provided you have stairs up to one of the pax/service doors. As I mentioned in my previous post, it's probably best not to go into detail on a public forum. We don't want to be giving the idiots any additional info. |

Just lock the bastard up and throw away the key. It is interesting,how many people who does not want a real job, but instead decides to become “activists”. They should not be entitled to any kind of benefits, unless they work. He's already out of jail. From The Evening Standard: A former Paralympic cyclist has denied climbing on to a British Airways plane and gluing himself to it during the Extinction Rebellion protests. James Brown, who is visually impaired, is accused of causing a public nuisance by climbing on top of the aircraft at London City Airport on Thursday.The 55-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday where a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf by his solicitor Raj Chada. District judge John Zani granted him conditional bail, prohibiting him from going within one mile of any airport in the UK. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crim...-a4260006.html |

I was thinking more on the lines of those who glue themselves to roads, railings doors etc. |
My concern is not what he did or what he represents but how the hell he got airside in the first place. Just imagine if he had been someone who wanted to down an aircraft? So much for security.

These 'activists' have been using the glue stunt for a while now. From April of this year: What is with climate change activists in London gluing themselves to buildings and streets? What's the connection? Eco warriors in London have been engaged in a bizarre protest for the last two weeks in which these climate change activists have attempted to draw attention to their cause by gluing themselves to things. Campaigners previously glued themselves to the London Stock Exchange and climbed on top of a train at Canary Wharf, but one gal took her protest to the next level by gluing her breasts to the road outside the Goldman Sachs office in Fleet Street. https://www.wibc.com/blogs/tony-katz...climate-change |
Anyone who gets glue airside should be treated as a terrorist suspect.
If people want to glue themselves to planes or airport infrastructure, leave them there. Tow the aircraft away to a remote location on the field and leave a couple of plod to watch them . When they come down, and they will eventually cos the f*******s will get hungry at least, arrest them, charge them and force them to pay the airline/airport disruption bill whilst that aircraft is out of service. Don't tell me this breaches their human rights. They lose that right when they break the law in the first place. Having a boarding card doesn't mean they are not trespassing. |
I’d have towed the plane to a remote stand and left him there to sort out his own way down. |

Hmmm ... |
Ungluing
There is far too much time and worry given to ungluing these people. Just Taser them and they will unglue themselves! |

If they adhesively bond themselves to something not belonging to them I dont't quite see how somebody else has the responsibility to debond them. Leave them there and pin a note of the hourly rate they are going to have to pay.
Buy popcorn and wait ... |

This is what you need to do to these morons, instead of pandering to their stupid stunts and giving them the publicity just gives them more incentive to be idiots. |
Nice idea, it's something I would like to see.
Unfortunately in this caring sharing age of political correctness he'd probably be suing for post traumatic stress, and worse, he'd probably win ! |

The man, who wore green face paint, a suit and a floret-style hat, had previously been seen holding a sign reading: “I’m locally sourced and environmentally friendly”.
Robert Greener, who was in Oxford Street on Sunday evening, tweeted a photo of the protester, with the caption: “A humble broccoli gets arrested on Oxford Street”. A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said they could not comment on individual arrest cases. More than 1,300 people have already been arrested in the protests, part of an “international rebellion” with action taking place in cities around the world. Extinction Rebellion said dozens of activists are expected to appear in court this week, including trials connected with previous action in April. Similarly, these Extinction Rebellion folks know that they will get a mere slap on the wrist for damaging a plane. At least up to the point that someone gets hurt.
