I know calling the faa ON A SUNDAY will not illicit a response for at least a day, but likely multiple days.

The plane is already flying, so we'll just wait. If there is a terrible incident because the FAA and company did not respond in time then you will have all the proof you need. If nothing happens then continue to call me an attention whore. Telling you all of the details will not change that outcome.

First, no, I will not explain the detail incident that I experienced, as I provided everything in detail to the necessary parties. I do have video of the event and the attendant agreeing that the situation is a concern. I will report the details to the public through the appropriate means.

Now I am a pilot, so I typically take notice when an unusual sound takes place. Now just a sound is not enough to warrant concern in some cases, especially so as a passenger. Now couple that with a new incident makes you stand on guard. Again, I am not in the flight deck so I must defer to the captain to make the best decisions. Later in the flight, the same unusual sound happens again and the second incident is no longer an incident. Now you have a pretty good understanding of a root cause and you can pinpoint a set of tests to verify the problem. If I am the only person with this knowledge (the attendant was not with me for the sounds) wouldn't it behoove the airline to take note of this additional information?

Anyway the plane is flying again so, will just watch from afar

My next steps are exactly that :)

I flew United airlines yesterday and experienced a maintenance issue that could have compromised the entire plane. I told the flight attendant and they passed the message on to the pilot. At the end of the flight I provided way more specific information to this flight attendant. Not once was I asked to describe the incident to the pilots. As I left the plane, the flight attendant did not return to the pilots but continued to see people off the plane. I figured I should go to a United service desk and explain the incident. The lady I met told me all she could do is file a complaint and she had no way to inform anyone at United of the incident. Let me repeat: a customer service rep could not provide information of a potential fault on a plane to anyone. She directed me to the United airlines website to report the incident. People will die and it is because capitalism does not reward people who go above the call of duty to prevent loss of life. The plane had another flight today, nothing else I can do but watch the tail number and shout "told you so!" if something ever happens

I understand this post may put me on a list, but I do not know how else to raise this concern except by talking loudly to the internet in hopes someone hears.

On the other hand, I went to see Starship Troopers explicitly because they were playing Harvey Danger's Flagpole Sitter song in the trailer. This was back when trailers played songs from the movie. I sat through the entire movie waiting to hear the song and never did. I was extraordinarily pissed and never truly appreciated how good the movie was. A few years later I watched it and understood the premise but still carry my extreme anger that I was duped into seeing a B-movie without the actual trailer music.

When you feed it a giant cesspool of invalidated data (The internet) you should not expect a single response to be accurate. none of these AI's are fed a carefully curated data set.

But companies are expecting to replace all their programmers with AI.... What could possibly go wrong?

Hear me out. There are high res cameras all over the airport. The ticket scanner at TSA is connected to a network. Your ticket has your name details. You are required to be maskless while in front of TSA. All of that means you are tracked the moment you walk past TSA. It is very likely you are tracked beforehand but it is unequivocally without a doubt that you are tagged on a screen somewhere as you walk about.

Have we not learned from Trump, if it is not enshrined in law it can be repealed with the mark of a pen. This is all show and is not rea. Enjoy the temporary freedoms though

If i told you 20 years ago that forum software would IPO and it would be one of the biggest conversation topics in the country.

There are certain essentials that airlines and travel agents / guides actually recommend that you carry on in case your checked luggage gets lost. Things like a day or two worth of clothing, some amount of toiletries, all of your medications, travel documents and other essentials that you couldn't go a day or two without in the event that there are issues with reclaiming your checked luggage.

From the description it sounds as if there is ambiguity in some cases as to what counts as a carry on item and what counts as "on your person."

A fanny pack is one such grey area. It is worn on the person, so a traveller might consider it as being part of clothing or like having stuff in your pockets, but the airlines might disagree and consider it more like a bag / carry-on item.
