brianpr3 178 Posted June 3, 2015 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 5662 Posted June 3, 2015 Author 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.
brianpr3 178 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I see what you guys are saying rules are rules but some airlines are like you can do this with supervision etc or we don't approve of it but wont crucify etc.. what airline did the girl work for spirit or frontier?
brianpr3 178 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Spirit. ohhh no wonder why i heard some very bad thing about spirit etc and $$$$$$$$$$$$ is king there
ns8401 964 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 ohhh no wonder why i heard some very bad thing about spirit etc and $$$$$$$$$$$$ is king there That the other airline will only let you do it under close supervision tells you how dangerous it actually is...
ns8401 964 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Well time for a new version of the ABC7 Chicago app and a new logo... Blue with white circle 7 and CHICAGO below it.
24994J 5662 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Well time for a new version of the ABC7 Chicago app and a new logo... Blue with white circle 7 and CHICAGO below it. Like, they SHOULD get a new one, or they DID get a new one? And, if they did, where'd you see it?
alex979 119 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Like, they SHOULD get a new one, or they DID get a new one? And, if they did, where'd you see it? They did. It's on the recently updated iPhone app. Very two-dimensional and basic looking.
24994J 5662 Posted June 3, 2015 Author 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.

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 5662 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Using a screenshot of a prior report in an OTS. That's a new one...
ns8401 964 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Using a screenshot of a prior report in an OTS. That's a new one... Sometimes you need a picture quick...
Hexagonal10 84 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Having a full blown video is distracting... But awesome
24994J 5662 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Having a full blown video is distracting... But awesome When did I say it was a video? It's just a picture.
ns8401 964 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 When did I say it was a video? It's just a picture. Do they ever use their OTS boxes that way anyway with video?
ns8401 964 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I want to say no, but... Yeah, no. That's too bad... it's pretty nice to have.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Do they ever use their OTS boxes that way anyway with video? Newschannel 8 in Washington does.
ns8401 964 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Newschannel 8 in Washington does. WXYZ does as well. I like the effect. WLS is very conservative with its presentation though. Give it 20 years maybe.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 WXYZ does as well. I like the effect. WLS is very conservative with its presentation though. Give it 20 years maybe. Distracting though, But I like it. And yeah, WLS goes all out traditional with Stimulus and the nearly 10 year old graphics.
ns8401 964 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Distracting though, But I like it. And yeah, WLS goes all out traditional with Stimulus and the nearly 10 year old graphics. They got new graphics and music in 2013. But yeah all the ABC O&O's change at a glacial pace. That's gonna catch up to them sooner or later.
24994J 5662 Posted June 6, 2015 Author 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.
24994J 5662 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 So, this is a thing... https://vimeo.com/123065889 This piece, and the Bulls snippet never made it to air, the former obviously only being relevant on that first day.
