Yize noma isenzo somhloli wayo sidale ukuthi izindiza eziyisishiyagalolunye ze-American Eagle zimiswe eChicago kuleli sonto, iTransporatation Security Administration ithi ingase ithathele izinyathelo inkampani yezindiza ngenxa yokungasebenzi kahle kwezokuphepha.
Umhloli we-TSA, njengengxenye yokuhlola ukuphepha kwendawo, usebenzise uphenyo lwendiza olubucayi njengendlela yokubamba ukuze athole ukufinyelela ezindizeni ze-American Eagle ezimile esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Chicago's O'Hare. I-American Eagle Airlines ithe "izindlela zokuhlola ezingajwayelekile" ziholele ekuhloleni ukulungiswa okwengeziwe kwezindiza, okubangele "ukubambezeleka kwezindiza ezicishe zibe ngu-40 futhi kuphazamise amakhulukhulu amakhasimende."
I-TSA, nokho, yazivikela ngokuqinile izenzo zomhloli wayo, iphawula esitatimendeni ukuthi ukwazile ukungena ngaphakathi ezindizeni eziyisikhombisa kweziyisishiyagalolunye azihlolile, “okwakuwukwephula okusobala kohlelo lwezokuphepha lwenkampani yezindiza.” I-TSA ithe ikhuthaza abahloli bayo ukuthi babheke ubungozi obunjalo futhi ngemuva kokubukeza imiphumela yokuhlolwa, le nhlangano "ingathathela inkampani yezindiza izinyathelo, kuze kufike futhi okubandakanya ukukhokhisa izinhlawulo zomphakathi."
Esitatimendeni, i-American Eagle Airlines ithe "iyaqiniseka ukuthi ilandele zonke izinqubo zokuphepha ezifanele zokuvikela indiza ngobusuku obubodwa esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Chicago's O'Hare International." Inkampani yezindiza iphinde yaphawula ukuthi "uma bekungabonwa abasebenzi boKhozi abaqaphile eChicago, izenzo zalo mhloli bezizokwaziwa futhi bezibeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwamakhasimende ethu nabasebenzi."
I-TSA ivumile ukuthi umhloli wayo wazidonsela eceleni kwendiza esebenzisa uphenyo lweTotal Air Temperature (TAT) njengendlela yokubamba. I-TAT probe, ekala izinga lokushisa lomoya ngaphandle futhi ixhume kumasistimu abalulekile wekhompyutha ngaphakathi endizeni, ithathwa njengebalulekile ekuphepheni kwendiza. I-TSA ithe bekungeyona inhloso yayo "ukubangela ukubambezeleka noma ukulimala kwezindiza ngenxa yokuhlolwa kwethu," nokuthi le nhlangano ithathe isinyathelo ngokushesha "ukuphoqelela ukufundisa ngemishini ebucayi engaphandle kwendiza."
Khonamanjalo, i-Aero-News Network (ANN), engumthombo ohamba phambili wezindaba zemboni yezindiza, ibike ukuthi umhloli we-O'Hare TSA ngokusobala wayesebenzise indlela efanayo phambilini ukuze athole ukufinyelela ezindizeni ezimile.
Kumemo etholwe yi-ANN, ilungu lendiza yendiza lakhala ngokuthi “bekungekona okokuqala ukuthi lo menzeli ofanayo we-TSA enze lokhu. Ngemuva kokuthi omunye umakhenikha wethu we-ORD (O'Hare) embambile enza lokhu wachaza ukuthi angalimaza inzwa ye-TAT. Umenzeli ube esevuma ukuthi usebenzise izinzwa izikhathi eziningi esikhathini esidlule enza into efanayo.”
Imemo iphinde yathi esigamekweni sangaphambilini, uphenyo lwe-TAT olulimele lubangele ukubambezeleka kwendiza ye-American Eagle ngo-Agasti 16 ukuthi "umsolwa ongumakhenikha udalwe yi-ejenti efanayo."
Umhleli we-ANN uJim Campbell uthe ilungu labasebenzi endizeni elithumele imemo beliwumthombo othembekile wolwazi esikhathini esidlule.
I-TSA ayitholakalanga ukuze kuphawulwe ngayo ngezenzo ezidlule zomhloli okusolwa ukuthi zenziwe. Esitatimendeni sayo, nokho, le nhlangano ivikele iziqu zabahloli bayo, iphawula ukuthi "benza izifundo zokuqeqeshwa eziyisisekelo zamasonto ama-4 eziqukethe uhlolojikelele lwemithetho yezokuphepha, izinqubo zokuhlola, nezithangami zokuphepha," futhi bathola ukuqeqeshwa okwengeziwe kwezokuphepha endaweni ngayinye. sezindiza.
UCampbell uthe ukuqeqeshwa okunjalo kuzothathwa njengokungenele ngaphansi kwemithetho yezokundiza yenhlangano ngoba abasebenzi abazenzo zabo "ezingaba nomthelela ekufanelekeni kwendiza yendiza kumele bafunde izinhlelo ezithile zendiza."
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The memo also stated that in a previous incident, a damaged TAT probe caused a flight delay of an American Eagle plane on August 16th that “the mechanics suspect was caused by the same agent.
- TSA, however, strongly defended its inspector’s actions, noting in a statement that he was able to gain interior access to seven of the nine aircraft he inspected, which was an “apparent violation of the airline’s security program.
- A TSA inspector, as part of a spot security check, used a sensitive aircraft probe as a handhold to gain access to parked American Eagle planes at Chicago’s O’Hare airport.
