brianpr3 178 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I do think the third story is a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Ultimately, most of the people complaining online are saying that Goudie is dragging the one flight attendant's name through the ground, but I'd say that's only because her posing sparked the controversy. And, while the complaining public claims it's a right of passage, if the employer doesn't want it, then it's still wrong. i kind of agree with those people cause he went ran a story by someone of the PC crowd who believes someone was doing something NOT "normal". I mentioned earlier Goudie is getting his medicine from flight attendants for taking a selfie during an emergency depressurization and was not wearing the mask correctly. But i dont know which is a worse this or the infamous meg baker's story of trains speeding but they were going normal speed.

24994J 5577 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 What Chuck did in that selfie was stupid, for sure. If he doesn't put the mask on and something happened to him, there's photographic evidence that he made a silly, reckless decision. Perhaps his bosses confronted him on it later, but something like that likely isn't breaking any of ABC 7's rules. However, if taking these pictures in the engine is against the flight attendant's company/airline policy, then the employees need to be prepared to pay the price. If it's against the rules, then there's merit to the report, unlike the not-speeding-speeding train story.

That one airline in the report that allows them under maintenance supervision sounds like an exception. Let's say he doesn't take that selfie but still puts the mask on... Does he still screw it up? I'm thinking the answer is yes. It seems pretty clear he doesn't know much about those masks.

24994J 5577 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hasn't rolled out to Android, then. But that's not surprising, I guess. Do either of you have a picture or screenshot or something?

Never mind, I just looked it up. Time for it as in there it is... I don't speculate... At least not like that... Glad you found it though. It updates for apple watch compatibility, KABC and KGO got new logos and apps today too. The WABC app was done a couple weeks ago but got minor revisions today.

24994J 5577 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Now that I'm thinking about it, none of the Chicago stations use video in the OTS's on a regular basis. If any do, I'd guess WGN and WMAQ, but again, with no regularity.
