You have been working ALL year, and its finally time for your hols As you board the plane, and as an experienced pilot! you notice two Asians acting "strangely." Would you:

1) Bring the matter up with one of the aircraft crew?

2) Talk it over with other passengers that have also noticed?

3) Say, "Come on kids, no holiday for you this year, we are getting off!"

4) Or think, "All's safe, nobody would dare bomb a plane that I am on"

Of course, I don't know if you are married, have kids or whatever, but if you are, you should know that your families safety is paramount, Now, WOULD you happily get your family on board this flight??
Thats four questions but happy to give my thoughts!


1. Yes, but depends completely if "airside" or not
2. No (why should I potentially scare people who know less than nothing about aviation security?)
3. No
4. No

5. If "airside" and very suspicious, I would report to staff and see what happens. If the staff come back and say "yes we have investigated the individuals and have cleared them for flight, the captain is happy"
Then that's the end of it, get on the plane.

I would suggest that anybody who is suspicious of anybody purely because they are speaking in a different language is at least a bigot.

I fail to see why so many parents think they know more about the safety of their families whilst on aircraft than aviation professionals.

it's basic fear of what people don't understand, like foreign languages!
