JetBlue hires violent felon as a pilot

Kinda don't know what specific "label" anyone is concerned about this individual? Felon? Violent felon? If he were in the military, should we also ADD dishonorable discharge. Nice little google search reveals he's a corporate pilot as well. Worked for the VA as a human resource representative.

He's on probation. Crime of passion? Help me? What's the problem. Per the judicial system, he paid his dues to the court and has moved on.

Why the pushback?
Shouldn’t all convicted pedophiles that have “paid their dues to the court and moved on” be welcomed in all employment settings?

Pedophile? You added another label/naming convention. . .then you went to using an "absolute" binary question. It's a nonbinary question.

Shall I change the question for you or do you wish to do if you are looking for an honest answer?
 
I’m in favor of weed being legal if we just make edibles mandatory instead. Holy crap am I tired of smelling that stuff in hotels.

I'm a little confused. Are you saying you're tired of "smelling" what in hotels? Are you saying you didn't receive a "smoke free" room? Are you saying "smelled" an order permeating through the corridors of a hotel room? Did you continue to smell in in YOUR room? If so, did you report it to the front desk?

This really attractive female I remember was flatulent in an elevator that I rode with her. She wasn't as bad as the the guy next to me who didn't put on deodorant. Wonder if I could have received any compensation if I reported it? :biggrin:

You can recieve a smoke-free room and it'll still reek of pot if someone hit the dank nuggs rooms away. It's the worst.
 
Agreed. Nasty smell! I was for legalizing this crap but the stench is horrendous. Eff it, ban this crap from around/near public spaces.

More than half the time on the employee bus some employees get in and invariably you get one • who stinks to high heaven with this crap.

I didn’t change that much. After all, I quoted you. I didn’t pick your words.

In several posts, I suggested something other than a binary approach, emphasizing that the nature of a crime and recidivism matters in the risk management matrix.

You suggested something more static than a binary question, it sounded like your “paid his dues and moved on” was pretty absolute. If you shift gears when I change the crime you are giving up on the only point you made.

No, don’t change my question, just answer in a manner that is consistent with your previous post.

You question why there is pushback. The answer is multi-faceted. In general, we can’t totally ignore the risks associated with recidivism.

In this case, I think that few of us fear recidivism as much as being concerned about his behavior on the job and in the cockpit. I’d be more willing to accept the missteps of youth but this guy committed his violent crimes well into adulthood, he was a Captain in the Air Force. He barely escaped attempted murder charges that could have delivered a life sentence.

… of course, if the subject pilot became a frequent contributor on here and avoided the traps and pitfalls of our debates for a year, I might completely change my mind.

Be a gentleman, especially in the cockpit, and avoid assaulting people. Beyond that, accept when a woman has had enough of your •.

Carry on smartly, folks. I’m exiting the thread on a positive note.
