From: "Mike Tobin" <mtobin@xxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 11:10 PM Thanks Dennis for sending me it. To save you time, and for everyone else it is available at: http://br.news.yahoo.com/040114/5/hr3c.html As I understand the news story, he was charged with "disregard to authority" with a potential jail time of 6-12 months. The other 11 crew members were quarantined and sent back on the 1st AA flight. Allegedly the actions of the pilot started a chain reaction in attitude by the other crewmembers. <snip> The captain wasn't too smart, and the Brazilians were just out to prove they could be even stupider. If he did that in some U.S. airports he might find himself in Guantanomo. I sure wouldn't do it.
