You Might Want to Leave Early . . . .



Anybody out there traveling on Wednesday for Thanksgiving? Then you might want to get to the airport extra, extra early if what I am hearing is true.

Have you been paying attention to the pilot uproar about the new TSA screening method with the x-ray machines? Well, apparently there is going to be a massive undertaking by all pilots, all airlines, to show up to the airports on Wednesday in uniform and demand to be patted down instead of going thru the machines. Even if they really aren't flying anywhere. All in an effort to protest this new screening method and the fact that their unions aren't doing anything about it. Can you imagine the delays this is going to cause on the busiest travel day of the year?

How have I heard about this? My brother is a pilot for United Airlines and he plans to be there doing this exact thing unless something is done before Wednesday. Who knows if it will work or even happen, but do you want to take the chance and miss your flight?
