[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 4288290, member: 12570"] It's a shame that the OP lacks the basic writing skills possessed by most 2nd graders as this thread had the potential of creating meaningful dialogue. Comparing the "accident" that killed two of our employees on the air ramp and the hijacking that took the life of a driver who was on his first day alone on the car and tragically was in the wrong place at the wrong time is like comparing apples and oranges. The air ramp incident was completely avoidable. These two idiots were screwing around on a tug and paid the ultimate price for their stupidity. There will be all sorts of unnecessary proactive safety measures and needless money spent because these two simply didn't feel like doing their jobs the way that they were trained to do. The hijacking was a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The kid was on his first day alone and was super excited to start what he hoped to be a long career as a driver. There are going to be those who will advocate for drivers to be allowed to carry. That most certainly would have backfired (pun not intended----well, sort of) as there were two of them and one of him and while he may have gotten one of them he most certainly would not have gotten them both and most certainly would have been shot and killed for his efforts. Our world has gone crazy and there is little to nothing that any company could do to protect against every possible scenario. [/QUOTE]
