Passenger AirPods tracked to airport worker's home

If the phone showed bag in the terminal, why didn't she, or someone else, track it down using her phone.....it does tell you distance from phone and can be tracked Weird story but a good ending.....Agree with the quote above........if bag not on board, buy a toothbrush at destination and, then "have a go" at the airline... -

I used mine to make sure my luggage got off a DELTA flight and onto a WESTJET flight. They are handy... -

Canadian carrier WestJet intends to begin flying Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft next month after having received the required regulatory approvals. The Calgary-based airline on 20 March said it had received from Transport Canada “approval and official certification” for four 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighters (BCFs). The company intends to place three of those jets into service “expeditiously”, with the first aircraft set to begin flying on 22 April. A fourth 737-800BCF remains in the passenger-to-freighter conversion process and will likely enter service “later this year”, WestJet says. The airline is launching the new cargo operation under a partnership with aviation services company GTA Group, which is based near Toronto. GTA’s subsidiaries provide aviation logistics, cargo, e-commerce, grand-handling and other services. “Today is a long-awaited milestone… that will now enable us to disrupt the air cargo industry in Canada,” says WestJet executive vice-president of cargo Kirsten de Bruijn. The operation will give shippers a new competitive cargo option and increase air-cargo capacity within the country, she adds. WestJet in March 2022 disclosed its plan to operate 737-800 freighters under a business arrangement with GTA, saying the aircraft will fly “overnight express cargo services” from Toronto. “The dedicated freighters will initially focus service within North America, serving Calgary, Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles and Miami,” WestJet says. “WestJet Cargo’s dedicated freighter routes will further connect to the bellies of WestJet’s fleet, serving to accommodate the diverse needs of cargo customers in leveraging the airline’s expansive network.” WestJet has not elaborated on the specifics of the GTA partnership. Its fleet currently includes three stored 737-800BCFs that will be “operated for” GTA, according to Cirium data. Those jets are managed by aircraft lessor and management company BBAM.

Perhaps there is some validity to what you have posted, however, my two cents...how did two pilots returning from SIM get involved with discussing fraternization with cabin crew ........unless their instructor may have got "burned" by being up close and too personal with a member of the cabin crew and, as a result of his 'problem', issued "his" warning. I think it is a mistake to "assume" it was HR, unless that is a new class for "new-hires". ((I never met a HR employee in my entire carreer )) Personal social paranoia is everywhere now , perhaps because of the total access to the Internet and many of the social platforms people frequent. Before I was punted through the goal posts, I flew with a fellow pilot who had what looked like a ball-point pen but was an actual mini voice recorder.....He turned it on everytime a female FA entered the cockpit......... why ??? I didn't ask. Best crew "teamwork" ?? WD and Canadian....

The AC APP (Biometric beta version)
Kip Powick replied to Kip Powick's topic in Airline Aviation Forum

Indian low-cost airline SpiceJet grounded two of its pilots after they allegedly consumed coffee and pastries inside the cockpit – a snack break that could have gone horribly wrong had one of the hot drinks spilled. A photograph showing an uncovered cup with the airline’s logo placed dangerously close to the control levers inside the cockpit sparked outrage among the aviation community in India and online. The pilots, whose faces were not shown in the image, also held gujiyas – a sweet fried pastry typically eaten during the Hindu festival Holi, which took place on March 8 this year. A SpiceJet spokesperson told CNN on Friday that both pilots have been taken off the roster pending an inquiry. “SpiceJet has a strict policy (regarding) consumption of food inside the cockpit which is adhered by all flight crew. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken upon completion of the investigation,” the spokesperson said. Shakti Lumba, a retired pilot and former head of operations of Indian carrier IndiGo, said the “feel-good social media photo-op” from the pilots was “immature” and “undesirable,” especially as they are responsible for the safety of the aircraft and its passengers. “It was totally inexplicable behavior. All pilots are aware of the dangers of spilled liquids in the cockpit,” he told CNN, adding that most company rules and aviation regulations prohibit placing any foods and liquids on the central pedestal console. Underneath that console is a vast array of electrical wiring that is vital to controlling the plane – and spilling piping hot drinks on it might cause technical equipment to overheat or trigger the system to shut down. CNN has reached out to India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for comment on the incident. The budget carrier has faced a slew of incidents last year, prompting several investigations from the aviation regulator. Last May, a SpiceJet plane’s autopilot malfunctioned and caused severe turbulence that led to multiple onboard injuries. The regulator also ordered to halve the carrier’s operational flights for a period of eight weeks after being involved in at least eight technical malfunction, CNN affiliate News 18 reported in July 2022.

The AC APP (Biometric beta version)
Kip Powick replied to Kip Powick's topic in Airline Aviation Forum
Thanks I use an iPhone 14 Pro and the NFC scanner is on the top edge of the iPhone so it was no trouble getting AC scanner to pick up the data, except it keeps on making the birth year as 20 XX instead of 19 XX. I have a trip loaded in it now so after the flight I will reload the APP but I don't think it will make much difference as I tried to get the APP to scan after deleteing the APP and reinstalling twice before. -
I tried to get a digital profile going on the AC APP, in fact I tried three times and each time it failed and could not complete the set-up. The problem is that when the APP reads the chip in my Passport it gets my birth year starting with 20 instead of 19 so the APP says they can not proceed. The year in my Passport (bottom lines on the picture page ) is correct. I sent an email to the "techies" at AC and the reply I got was that I "probably did not have a good connection". I called my son who is a bit of IT guru and he said I should download a couple of NFC APP s that can read the chip in the Passport. I did that and two different APPs got my birth year correct so "son"said the OCR in the AC APP may have a flaw but I have not heard of anyone else having the problem I am experiencing. Anyone ???
