Aero-News Quote of the Day
"After being delayed on the Senate floor ensuring a vote
on my anti-pay raise amendment and in a rush to make my flight home
for town hall meetings the next day, I accidentally went through
the wrong door at the gate. I did have a conversation with an
airline employee, but it was certainly not like this silly gossip
column made it out to be."
Source: Louisiana Senator David Vitter, in a
message acknowledging an incident that allegedly took place at
Washington DC’s Dulles International Airport (IAD) last week.
According to Roll Call, an unnamed witness reports Vitter arrived
at a United Airlines gate about 20 minutes before departure time.
Finding the door to the jetway already closed, Vitter opened it,
setting off a security alarm. An airline employee then warned
Vitter against proceeding, which prompted the Senator to become
irate, asking the airline worker if he knew just who he was. After
a heated exchange, the employee left to find a security guard;
Vitter left the scene.
