ABCNews.com – Nominees for Worst Air Travel Employees

June 24, 2009 | Posted in: ABC Column,Airline News,Ask Rick,News,Pilots

Don’t get me wrong – as I say in my column, most employees in the travel industry are “terrific people who work very hard to keep us safe.” But we’ve all met some doozies.

Maybe not this bad, though.

Here are some of the “horror stories” I’ve collected: a baggage handler who falls asleep in the cargo section of a plane and then takes an “unexpected ride”; a truck driver who “forgets” to radio for permission to cross a runway and nearly has an up close and personal meeting with a jet; and then there’s the pilot who may or may not have had a “problem” (his passengers sure thought he did!).

Read their stories and more in my latest weekly column for ABCNews.com – plus I’ve got tips on what to do, should you ever run into anyone remotely like these oddballs.
