I am a retired airline captain for a large US airline. We carry lots of armed LEOs and have a long list of requirements to allow them on. On 9-11 a few years ago, I had a FBI agent show up minutes before departure trying to get on my flight. I can’t tell you the SSI about timing but the minutes wasn’t even 5% of the required time to get cleared. I told him to put his gun in his carryon bag and put it in the baggage compartment. He went into the Don’t you know who I am bullshit and tried to intimidate me and the customer service agents. He ended up not getting on my flight. When I get home I find out the shit has hit the fan and get this... the FBI faggots dad- yes dad- has called the CEO and demanded I be fired. None the less, I had to explain my decision and quote chapter and verse of our manual about the rules of being armed on my jet. I lost the final ounce of respect for those cunts that day.

My ALPA reps told me I was going to be fired before the meeting with my chief pilot, my reps, and the VP of security. When the meeting started and I was told to tell them what happened, I said get out your company iPads and open the Customer Service Manual to page xxx. We are pilots and not required to know the CSM. There was the time rule. My chief pilot- who is a cuck dick sucker- literally went red in the face and yelled at me How Do You Know This! I’m a captain. I read every work groups manual. My ALPA reps were laughing so hard I thought they would fall out of their chairs. The meeting was over after that. I retired a few years later as a legend to the other pilots.
Great story
